The landscape of the Florida Gators home at the University of Florida is getting ready for a major facelift.
Twelve months in the making, the University of Florida’s Athletic Association (UAA) presented a plan on Thursday to the University Athletic Association board that would drastically change the landscape of the Gainesville campus as well as the lives of its student-athletes.
The plan to create a stand-alone football facility along with major renovations to both McKethan Stadium and Kate Seashole Pressly Stadium, were presented to the board (as an initial proposal, not a vote). Athletic Director Jeremy Foley and Executive Associate Athletic Director for Internal Affairs Chip Howard have spearheaded the renovations, which would cost an early estimate of $100 million dollars.
