ORLANDO, Fla. – Camping World Stadium is set for a major transformation after the Orlando City Council approved plans for a renovation that could temporarily host the Jacksonville Jaguars \u2014 and attract more global events to the city.<\/p>\n

City commissioners gave final approval to move forward with the project after signing off on the Appearance Review Board\u2019s recommendations.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Local perspective:<\/p>\n

The renovation, funded largely through tourism tax dollars, will expand seating, upgrade amenities and modernize the landmark venue.<\/p>\n

The upgrades could position the stadium for high-profile events such as World Cup matches or even future Olympic competitions. Officials also say the expanded venue could serve as a temporary home for the NFL\u2019s Jacksonville Jaguars during their expected stadium construction period.<\/p>\n
