UC's Nippert Stadium, 5th oldest in the country, is almost complete with their 20 month renovation project.
Nippert Stadium opened in 1924 with an initial capacity of 12,000 seats.
In 1954, it was expanded to 28,000 seats.
In 1992, it was expanded to 35,000 seats.
While a huge portion of the project was the dismantling of their old Press Box/Suite Tower that is being replaced with a much larger 5,000 premium seating area (suites, clubs, loge boxes, plus new press/media team facilities).
This renovation will also help increase Nippert's seating capacity from 35,000 to approx 40,000.
Also, much of the concourse area on the other side was also renovated as well.
UCF of course will be playing at this newly renovated stadium on Halloween Night.
Here are some before and after/current photos. (Note: Most of their stadium is still just bleacher seating without seat back benches)
