Camping World Stadium\u2019s $400M renovation project<\/a> is meant to continue making the stadium \u201can attractive option for hosting events,\u201d and Florida Citrus Sports CEO Steve Hogan \u201chopes to see\u201d college football<\/a> kickoff games return to the area, according to Matt Murschel of the ORLANDO SENTINEL. Camping World Stadium has hosted several neutral-site openers in the past and there are \u201cmore than a handful\u201d of neutral-site games in college football this season. Florida Citrus Sports is also \u201cactively pursuing hosting the annual Army-Navy football game,\u201d a game that typically has been played on the East Coast, but never in the South. Orlando \u201cpreviously explored a bid,\u201d but lost out to NFL sites such as MetLife Stadium and Lincoln Financial Field. With the bidding process set to begin again, Hogan \u201cbelieves the latest renovations could help the city secure a future spot.\u201d He said, \u201cI love that game. It would probably fit better in the range of 2030, 2031 or 2032.\u201d Murschel wrote Hogan also \u201cwants Orlando to be a player if the College Football Playoff expands.\u201d Another \u201cpossible opportunity\u201d is the Football Championship Subdivision National Championship Game. It is currently held at FirstBank Stadium at Vanderbilt (ORLANDO SENTINEL, 8\/18<\/a>).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Camping World Stadium\u2019s $400M renovation project is meant to continue making the stadium \u201can attractive option for hosting…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":375869,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[11],"tags":[143,57,142,139,141,140],"class_list":["post-375868","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-orlando","tag-college-football","tag-football","tag-ncaa","tag-orlando","tag-orlando-headlines","tag-orlando-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/375868","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=375868"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/375868\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/375869"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=375868"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=375868"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=375868"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
