Florida International Stadium Expansion
Chalk up another college football stadium with plans for major upgrades. Florida International announced an expansion plan that would raise the permanent seating capacity of the on-campus stadium in Miami from 7500 to 18,000, with eventual plans calling for a 45,000 seat stadium. Groundbreaking on the new stadium took place on May 25, and final renovations should be complete by the beginning of the 2008 season. In addition to the increased seating capacity, the stadium will also include 1400 club seats and 19 suites.
