The home of the UCF Knights football team is about to get a whole lot taller.
The Orange County Board of County Commission voted unanimously on Tuesday to approve a $90 million tower addition to FBC Mortgage Stadium. This towering addition will be paid for by excess revenues from the Tourist Development Tax over a 9 year span ($10M per year) beginning in 2025.
Mayor Jerry L. Demings said in a statement… “This is my home, and I feel good about the decisions made that will translate to investments in our community,” Demings also went on to say… “It’s an affirmation that this Board of County Commission also believes in our community.”
Just as UCF athletics have upgraded to the BIG 12… FBC Mortgage Stadium will soon see an upgrade that will raise it to a premier stadium level.
