Florida International Upgrading Stadium Next Year

September 6, 2011 /

The first home game of the 2012 season will see an FIU Stadium enclosed on the north side with seating, suites and a second Stadium Club that mirrors the current south side. Demolition of the north side bleachers starts Nov. 13, the day after FIU’s last home game of this season. Although the change will increase seating capacity to around 20,000, its immediate benefit is more aesthetic than financial. Athletic director Pete Garcia said the adding of a second deck to create a 45,000-seat stadium is a few years down the road.
