TAMPA, SEPT. 18, 2024—When the University of South Florida’s on-campus stadium opens in 2027, the west side will be exclusively for students and will include their own amenities.
A new rendering released today is a peek inside South Florida’s on-campus stadium. All seats on the west side will be exclusively for students and will provide them with a unique experience. It will include its own dedicated entrance, restrooms, and concessions. The west side will accommodate more than 8,000 students and will feature the “Iconic Bull U” logo, which USF has used for more than 20 years. The west side of the stadium will also include a landing for an in-game disc jockey to entertain South Florida fans.
“The passion of the student body is what makes college sports so special,” said Vice President for Athletics, Michael Kelly. “On the heels of record student demand for the upcoming game against Miami, we are thrilled to offer a glimpse of the future South Florida student experience on game day. Many of the amenities included on the west side of the stadium were based on student feedback and we thank them for wanting to be a part of this exciting future we are creating together!”
Adjacent to the student section, on the north side, a field-level section will serve as the Herd of Thunder’s game day headquarters. Like students, the marching band will have a dedicated section on the lower level for easy access to the field for pregame and halftime performances.
The south side of the stadium – the home side –will feature seats for season ticket holders who will enjoy shade from the press box tower during daytime games.
The on-campus stadium’s groundbreaking will take place on Oct. 18. In the lead up to the event, additional renderings are expected to be released.
