FAU FOOTBALL STADIUM

'FAU Football Stadium' is a stadium in Boca Raton, Florida, that is currently in the planning stages for the Florida Atlantic University Owls football team. With their current football stadium, Lockhart Stadium, set to be demolished soon, the need arose for a new stadium. Original plans called for a 40,000-seat domed stadium that would also host the basketball teams, based on Syracuse's Carrier Dome.Sarah Talalay, Private firms are key to FAU stadium plan, ''South Florida Sun-Sentinel'', August 30, 2005. Current plans call for a smaller capacity venue that would be open-air. The proposed stadium would allow for future seating expansion as well as a roof if needed. Cost of the project has been estimated at $98.7 million.
According to FAU's 2007 Future Land Use plan, the stadium would be located just north of the current main campus, adjacent to the burrowing owl sanctuary.^[1]
