USF unveils new stadium renderings ahead of groundbreaking

Four new images reveal the fan experience and unique stadium features.

The University of South Florida released four renderings of its on-campus stadium Wednesday, just days before the groundbreaking ceremony on Friday.

The images highlight the west-side student section with an illuminated “Bull U” logo, a DJ deck and student-only concessions.

The north lawn, located within the stadium perimeter, will provide a versatile space for events, tailgating and live music. The south side, designed for home fans, includes shaded seating, premium suites and a rooftop patio.

A 10-rows-up concourse will keep fans connected to the game, with easy access to concessions.

“This stadium is truly designed by USF, for USF,” said Vice President for Athletics Michael Kelly, emphasizing community input in creating an unmatched fan experience.

The groundbreaking will be held Nov. 8, at 3:30 p.m., and live-streamed on ESPN+ and USF social media platforms.
