ORLANDO, Florida — Final preparations are underway at the Citrus Bowl for the Florida Blue Florida Classic football game Saturday.
Florida A&M and Bethune-Cookman universities will be the first teams to take the field in the revamped stadium, following a $200 million makeover.
As construction equipment moved out of the stadium football helmets replaced hard hats.
"New stadium, I think you're going to get a lot more folks here than you normally would as an opportunity to see the stadium," said football fan James McKinney.
Fans told Channel 9's Steve Barrett that they are ready and they believe the new stadium will bring back the excitement that's waned in recent years following the hazing death of FAMU drum major Robert Champion three years ago.
