A $54 million ask for a garage with a field on its roof
noted Sep 1, 2026
Florida Citrus Sports CEO Steve Hogan asked Orange County’s tourism-tax task force for $54 million toward a $56 million stadium campus extension: a four-story, 422-foot parking garage with a rooftop sports field capable of hosting events, and a helipad. His case was the parking math — Camping World Stadium has just over 3,800 spaces against the 15,000 to 20,000 at comparable 65,000-seat venues in the Southeast. Hogan said the project could be shovel-ready within 15 months of approval and open in 30. On August 11, 2026 the task force voted to advance the garage among twelve proposals sent on to the County Commission, which makes the final funding call.
