Camping World Stadium, Football stadium in Downtown Orlando, United States
Camping World Stadium is an open-air stadium in Orlando's West Lakes neighbourhood, with a rectangular turf field ringed by tiered seating: orange seats along the long sides and white seats at the curved ends. A black scoreboard reading "CAMPING WORLD" stands beyond one end, and the ground lies beside a body of water. After the 2014 rebuild it holds about 65,000 for sport.
The facility was built during the Great Depression in 1936 through a government work program with just 8,900 seats originally. Over the following decades it underwent multiple expansions and renovations to accommodate larger sporting events.
The stadium hosts the Florida Classic, the annual college football game between Florida A&M and Bethune-Cookman, and the Pop-Tarts Bowl and Cure Bowl. Its name comes from the Tangerine Bowl and Florida Citrus Bowl, tied to the state's citrus industry. The east upper deck swayed so much in 1976 that some fans refused to return.
The stadium stands at 1610 West Church Street and provides parking areas along with connections to several public transit lines from downtown. Entrances are accessible via wide ramps and elevators, making access easier for people with limited mobility.
This venue was one of nine sites in the United States for the 1994 FIFA World Cup. Two years later, international soccer returned when it hosted matches during the 1996 Summer Olympics.
