ORLANDO, Fla. —

Construction is underway on a $400 million renovation of Camping World Stadium.

A project city leaders say will modernize the venue, create jobs and position Orlando to host major national events, including the potential arrival of the NFL.

The top-to-bottom renovation comes as the Jacksonville Jaguars are expected to play their 2027 home games in Orlando while their own stadium undergoes renovations. NFL owners still must approve the plan, but city and county leaders say they are preparing as if the move will happen.

The $400 million project is funded entirely by the Orange County Tourist Development Tax (TDT).

The stadium underwent a significant partial reconstruction in 2014; officials say this project is about “finishing the job.”

“Now we have the opportunity to come back and finish the job,” Orlando Mayor Buddy Dyer said.

The project is designed to rebuild nearly every part of the stadium and is expected to create 1,500 total jobs, with approximately 400 workers on site at peak construction.

To help fill those positions, city officials say a job fair will be held Thursday, Feb. 12, at 6 p.m., connecting people with employment opportunities tied to the renovation.

Florida Citrus Sports CEO Steve Hogan said leaders are confident the stadium will be ready if the Jaguars’ temporary relocation is approved.

“It is not official yet, but we fully expect that it will be, and we are excited to come celebrate as soon as they make that decision,” Hogan said.

Planned renovations include replacing the stadium’s upper deck, expanding and modernizing seating, adding premium amenities and upgrading aging internal systems to improve the overall fan experience.

Once complete, Camping World Stadium will seat more than 65,000 fans, allowing it to host NFL games, major college football events, concerts and other large-scale entertainment.

City leaders say the economic impact extends beyond the stadium itself, with increased foot traffic expected to benefit surrounding businesses.

“The more bodies we have coming through, the more time people are spending competing here on campus, the more dollars are going to have to invest in people’s individual small businesses,” Hogan said.

Officials say the renovation has one clear objective: ensuring Orlando is prepared to host the NFL and other high-profile events in the future.

“We are ready when they are ready,” a city leader said.

The renovation is expected to be completed by summer 2027, pending final NFL approval for the Jaguars’ temporary move.
