The Florida State University athletic department says 60% of the construction work on the Doak Campbell Stadium renovation is complete, but only 42% of the debt it financed for the project has been used.
As reported by Tallahassee ABC affiliate WTXL, athletic director Michael Alford told the Board of Trustees on Friday that it expects to save $30 million on the final price of the renovations, which initially included all new seating on the west and south sides of the stadium — including club seats — in a move that is reducing the stadium's capacity to under 70,000.
Alford says the money being saved will be put towards "obsolete infrastructure, technology and equipment throughout the stadium that also needs to be replaced, as reported by WTXL's Alberto Camargo.
FSU says the stadium work will be finished in late July.
