Stadium agreement with the City of Boca Raton
The BOT and City agree that the design and construction of the Stadium will consist of a maximum
30,000 seat stadium that may be built in two phases. It is agreed that the Stadium will hold no more
than a total of fifteen (15) scheduled events per year, including: (i) a maximum of six FAU football
games on campus, of which only one will be a weekday (Monday – Thursday) game, (ii) a maximum
of eight (8) Friday night events, which may include but are not limited to high school football games,
and (iii) one special event per year; provided, however that nothing herein shall limit or impact the
number of events held in the Stadium that are primarily attended by or intended for FAU faculty, staff,
students and family. The BOT and City agree that upon execution of the CDA, the City and BOT will
enter into an Interlocal Agreement to address traffic management, law enforcement, and Fire-Rescue
operational impacts associated with events scheduled in the Stadium.
No more than six games, only one during a weeknight… guess there's no ESPN clause in case we have a good year…
EDIT: The Master Plan update stipulates a Convocation Center/Arena with only 7500 seats, not 10k :(

I also believe they should be specific about allowing a "date" for a potential bowl game to be held in the stadium.
Be very specific with more "reasonable" useage limits so that arguments and legal issues do not arise at a latter date!

Re: Stadium agreement with the City of Boca Raton
A convocation center with 7500 is not even worth the trouble….I mean we already have a renovated arena with 5000. If it isn't 10k don't bother.
I see this as good news though…at least we are seeing some sort of movement.

Not a bad point.

Actually it is a bad point. The Bank United Center on the campus of UM has a seating capacity of 8,000…which they usually don't fill playing in the ACC. As a market, South Florida has never proven it cares much about college hoops. We don't come close to filling up a 5,000 seat arena. I don't see how a brand new 7500 seat arena wouldn't be perfect for our program.
