Big FSU projects continue to progress
Alford shared with the Democrat that the current expected timeline for breaking ground on the construction of FSU's football operations building is for just after the conclusion of the 2022 football season in December.
As for the renovation of Doak Campbell Stadium, which will see the implementation of a much more varied choice of luxury seating options across the stadium, is taking a step forward.
City and State Florida first reported this past week that FSU has issued a Request for Quotation (RFQ) for architects and engineers with an estimated completion date of Summer 2025.
"We're going out to bid right now to hire sports architects to come in and help us finalize the design of the stadium project. We've had tremendous success fundraising for it," Alford said.
"Since October, we've raised $44.8 million dollars for the stadium renovation, all on construction pledges. Our fans, when you sit down and talk to them, show them the plans, the benefits and the financial models of the future, it's something people are getting behind."
“Hoping to break ground December,” Alford said. “Fundraising is going really well for that. Fundraising is going extremely well for the stadium project. We’re at $45 million raised for the stadium project alone, and that’s been since October. People are excited about it. It’s about offering different experiences. Sixty percent of our fan base travels over three and a half hours to get here to Tallahassee for a game day. We have to show them a commitment. It’s important for that revenue to keep coming into Leon County. It’s a time commitment, it’s also a monetary commitment that our fans are making. We need to provide them the best experience we can when they get to Doak Campbell Stadium.”
