FSU Athletics says $30 million saved funding stadium renovations will pay for other needed upgrades

BROADCAST TRANSCRIPT:

$265 million have been earmarked for Doak Campbell Stadium renovations — but it's actually turning out to be cheaper than originally expected.

I'm Alberto Camargo your College Town neighborhood reporter.

Here's how FSU Athletics plans to use the money its saving on this project.

The athletic department says 60% of the construction work on Doak Campbell Stadium is done.

Yet only 42% of the debt it financed for the project has been used.

Athletic Director Michael Alford told the Board of Trustees Friday that it expects to save $30 million on the final price of the renovations.


Alford says the money being saved will be put towards "obsolete infrastructure, technology and equipment throughout the stadium that also needs to be replaced.

FSU says the stadium work will be finished in late July.

And the Dunlap Football Center will be ready for in early September.
