Public access is operational through temporary entry points, soon to be replaced with permanent systems that align with the stadium’s high standards. The exterior development is progressing, with the surrounding streets finalized and the east plaza nearing completion, providing essential connections to metro and parking facilities. [Designboom]

Taxpayers in Orlando are getting a new look at the $400 million renovation coming to Camping World Stadium.
The Orange County Board of County Commissioners in January authorized the use of the Tourist Development Tax revenues (TDT) for multiple projects, including $400 million for Camping World Stadium improvements.
The stadium was built in Orlando in 1947 and has been renovated several times.
One of the largest, and most recent upgrades, was 10 years ago, when the stadium showed off a $210 million renovation.
At the time, the stadium received a brand new lower bowl, a new, large monitor and two new concourses that connect the stadium.
About 90% of the stadium was revamped in the nine-month project. [ClickOrlando.com]
