ORANGE COUNTY, Fla. – The University of Central Florida is beginning construction on a stadium renovation project for Roth Tower.
UCF officials joined community leaders and donors Thursday to break ground on the expansion that’s designed to enhance the gameday experience.
“You have to provide really awesome premium products for people to experience college football live,” UCF Athletic Director Terry Mohajir said. “This is great because this is going to help level set our athletics program and the community.”
According to the university, the new Roth Tower will increase premium capacity, expand suite offerings and provide unique event opportunities.

Among highlights of the project are a 256% increase in square footage of useable club space, 42% more club seats, 28 luxury suites and 34 new outdoor sky suites.
The tower expansion is also happening with the support of Orange County, which allocated $90 million in tourist development tax revenue to the project.
“There’s no question these dollars are well spent,” Mayor Jerry Demings said. “UCF will be brining in tourists into our community. The tourism dollars that come into our community help people with jobs.”
The new Roth Tower is expected to be complete in time for the Fall 2026 football season.
