UF Stadium Gets $1.45B Renovation

UF’s throwing down $1.45 billion to revamp Ben Hill Griffin Stadium — think wider walkways, food spots, and social terraces — all while keeping that iconic Swamp charm intact. Compared to FSU’s $265 million upgrade, this is a massive leap, designed to modernize, boost revenue, and improve fan experience over four years, starting after the 2026 season and wrapping before 2030. Originally budgeted at $400 million back in 2018, soaring costs and historic preservation drove the price up — and the Board of Trustees will vote on final approval in September.
