📖About Future South Florida on-campus stadium
The USF on-campus stadium is a new ~35,000-seat football venue currently under construction on the east side of the University of South Florida's Tampa campus, on a site known as Sycamore Fields. Scheduled to open in fall 2027, it will be the first on-campus home for the South Florida Bulls in program history, replacing their long-standing use of Raymond James Stadium. The $340 million facility — later revised to approximately $348.5 million — is designed to anchor a broader USF Athletics district and will also serve as home to the Bulls' women's lacrosse program.
🏛️Future South Florida on-campus stadium History
Origins
The USF Bulls had played at Raymond James Stadium, an NFL venue miles from campus, since the program's founding in 1997. The lack of an on-campus facility was widely seen as a disadvantage for game-day atmosphere, student engagement, and recruiting. University leadership pursued an on-campus stadium for years before the USF Board of Trustees approved a $340 million financing plan on June 13, 2023, funded through a combination of $200 million in long-term debt issued by USF Financing Corp. and $140 million from university sources including foundation gifts, capital trust funds, and auxiliary revenues. The project was later updated to $348.5 million with expanded scope including additional academic space and improved athlete facilities.
