The University of Central Florida has broken ground on a four-level tower addition to its football stadium in Orlando.

The university says the new Roth Tower at FBC Mortgage Stadium will redefine the fan experience with premium amenities, including expanded club spaces, luxury suites, Sky Suites, shaded seating, and food and beverage options.

Construction is expected to be completed in time for the 2026 football season.

Beyond game days, the university envisions Roth Tower as a hub for community and social events. It plans to offer year-round programming such as executive leadership gatherings, rocket launch viewings, and exclusive concerts and events. 

Funding for the tower construction comes from a $90 million commitment of Tourist Development Tax revenues from the Orange County Board of County Commissioners.
