Are they still planning it for 30,000 seats?

They were entertaining a dual open ended stadium (see Appalachian State), so this is a step forward with respect to that…

Of the new design, I like this concept with the blue seats and the logo in the seating. If they bothered with a rendering, they must be considering it.

I don't think so!
It looks like they are shooting for 25K seats with a plan to close the end-zone to achieve 30K in the future.
How does it feel to have an on campus stadium?

There's a nice detail there with the blue "wave" going through the seats, although the building behind the south end zone has disappeared. This stadium would really look great if there were seats in the southeast corner.

The capacity is tough to judge because I can't really see how much of the stadium is devoted to the club seats. Comparing to the previous renderings, the height of the south end zone all around was the 30k stadium, whereas the height of the north end zone was the 40k version. So, here we have a combination. However, the east sideline is really short (missing a whole section).

I would love to see this built. I like how it really shows off the fact that we are in south Florida.

Can't get worked up about the details of this rendering since it's just going to change (this stadium concept has changed at least three times already)

Although I think if they build the Innovation Village shops into the stadium, they could take on the "beach town" architectural style seen in places like Seaside, Florida

Example 1:


Example 2:


That would be really unique and cool.

Thats a really good idea.  Use the colonnade treatments, corrugated metal, light colors.

Very good idea.  Email the University Architect about that..I know they have an FAU style they are going for, but this would really pop.
