FLORIDA
CITRUS BOWL STADIUM
As
the largest of the Orlando Venues, the Florida Citrus
Bowl Stadium has always been a great asset to the
citizens of Orlando. Not only does it seat over 70,000
patrons, but it also attracts the national spotlight
due to the caliber of bowl games and legendary performers
who have played there.
Originally constructed in 1936 and known as Orlando
Stadium at the time, the Florida Citrus Bowl Stadium
has seen a handful of renovations that increased its
original capacity from 10,000 to over 70,000.
Continual updates to the venue have allowed it to
stay relevant in the constantly changing world of
live sports and entertainment, and because of this,
the venue has hosted everything from World Cup soccer
games to the Rolling Stones.
Previously, the Florida Citrus Bowl Stadium has hosted
the USFL’s Orlando Renegades and the WFL’s
Orlando Thunder. The Florida Citrus Bowl Stadium currently
serves as home to the Annual Florida Classic, the
Capital One Bowl and the Champs Sports Bowl. Wrestlemania
played at the stadium in March of 2008 and set a new
attendance record.
