FB: FIU soliciting bids for stadium expansion
FIU is soliciting construction bids for stadium expansion to enclose the north end of the stadium. Part of the requirement is to ensure that the stadium will remain FIFA compliant (we've hosted Gold Cup matches in the last 2 tournaments). Total cost of this phase would be $6 million and would be completed in time for the opening of the 2012 football season. The bid sheet also goes further and asks for renderings for a new "Central Structure" which will house additional luxury boxes, presidential lodge, media boxes, coaches boxes, and concourse level stadium box. Lastly, it also requests renderings for the final expansion of the stadium (addition of an upper deck to the home side and end zones of the stadium). There is no timeline for the last 2 additions.
