The University of Florida will officially renovate the Ben Hill Griffin Stadium in what is expected to cost around $400 million to be a “multigeneration solution,” The Associated Press reported on Monday.
Florida announced that the school is looking to hire an architect for the project, with the window of searching for one opening in July.
Athletic director Scott Stricklin said that it is “premature to speculate” on various details of the renovation, including how much it’ll cost, when it is expected to be completed and what the seating number will be. These decisions come after the school conducted studies for the last five years about what people wanted to see differently at the stadium. The “Swamp,” as the stadium is famously known, currently holds around 90,000 fans.
