BROADCAST TRANSCRIPT:
Facelifts are underway at Doak Campbell Stadium.
I'm Alberto Camargo, your College Town neighborhood reporter.
I'm taking a look at how the renovations at Doak are coming along.
Out with the old, in with the new.
The bleachers on the west side of the stadium have already started being torn off.
This makes way for 7,000 temporary seats for the 2024 season.
That's the dark gray section you see here.
The light gray section will be under construction throughout next season.
I caught up with a couple of FSU students who think bringing Doak up to date was overdue.
"I think it's great and I think our football team did so well that it's about time. I'm happy about it."
"Yeah, nicer stadium, more people, more fun."
The new amenities do come at a cost, though.
The stadium's capacity will be reduced by about 10,000 to accommodate new chairback and club seats.
Barring any unexpected delays, Doak Campbell Stadium will be fully renovated in time for the 2025 season.
In College Town, I'm Alberto Camargo, ABC27.
