#AEROSMITH TANGERINE BOWL PROFESSIONAL#
The stadium has been host to countless high school, collegiate and professional football games. Four concrete ramp towers were also erected at the corners of the stadium to provide access to the decks and give the stadium a coliseum-like appearance. The decks were manufactured of precast concrete and wrap around the existing stands, putting spectators as close to the field as possible. Each single upper deck contains 9,000 seats. Beginning in 1989, the stadium, then known as the Florida Citrus Bowl, underwent a $30 million expansion and renovation project to add new upper decks to both sidelines of the field and 30 private suites. In 1983, the Florida Department of Citrus became the title sponsor at a price of $250,000. The Tangerine Bowl underwent expansion from 1974 to 1976, to bring the total seating capacity to 50,000. In 1968, the stadium underwent another expansion bringing seating capacity to 17,000 and the first press box was constructed. In 1952, the stadium capacity was expanded by 2,000 seats and was host to the “Little Bowl with the Big Heart,” because all proceeds from the game went directly to charity. At that time, the stadium seating capacity was 10,000.
Catawba College defeated Maryville College 31-6. The stadium was renamed the Tangerine Bowl in 1947 and the first college football bowl game was played here on January 1, 1947. The facility was named the Orlando Stadium and was built for $115,000. Camping World Stadium, the grandfather of the Orlando Venues facilities, began as a Works Progress Administration project by President Franklin D.
