Talk:Camping World Stadium

Up to date?
I notice the article contains this statement, "The most recent was The Rolling Stones in December 1997." Is that still up to date? There hasn't been a major concert there for at least 10 years? If that is false it should be updated. If it is true then it would be interesting if we could explain why this venue is no longer hosting major concerts. Johntex\talk 00:10, 20 September 2007 (UTC)

according to this http://articles.orlandosentinel.com/1986-10-29/news/0270030131_1_citrus-commission-citrus-bowl-florida-citrus from oct 1986 it sounds like the name Florida Citrus Bowl was not adopted until the fall of 86 at the earliest — Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.168.117.59 (talk) 20:56, 14 July 2014 (UTC)

2014 name

Stadium image
With the coming sellout of the 2015 home opener for Orlando City SC on March 8 (pending MLS CBA negotiations), we should definitely try to get an image of a fully-occupied Citrus Bowl for the top image. --Kitch (Talk : Contrib) 13:52, 3 March 2015 (UTC)

WrestleMania 33
WrestleMania 33 will be taking place here on April 2, 2017. Shouldn't this be added to the tenants section? 98.19.214.13 (talk) 16:43, 6 April 2016 (UTC)
 * No, WrestleMania should never be listed in the tenant section for any venue. WrestleMania is a major event that should be mentioned in the body of the article, but it isn't a formal tenant like a team or bowl organization that is headquartered at a specific stadium. It's the same for major events like the Super Bowl, NCAA Tournament, and conference tournaments, and even political conventions. None of those are "tenants", but they are events the facility has hosted. --JonRidinger (talk) 03:08, 24 August 2016 (UTC)

Tenant years
A temporary move of the Citrus Bowl game doesn't mean the tenant years for the bowl should have a gap. Tenant doesn't necessarily mean every game is played there. The 1973 game in Gainesville was clearly temporary. In other words, this stadium was still "home" to the Citrus Bowl and has been since 1947; the 1973 game was held in Gainesville. It's similar to the Rose Bowl Game and the Rose Bowl (stadium). The Rose Bowl game is listed as "1923–present" even though the 1942 game was held at Duke University. Likewise, the Rose Bowl Game isn't listed as a 1942 tenant of Wallace Wade Stadium. If the organization formally moved to a new location, then yes, there should be a break (like the Los Angeles Rams at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum), but if it was simply a temporary change of venue (such as a team moving games for renovations), that detail can be explained in the text. --JonRidinger (talk) 03:04, 24 August 2016 (UTC)

Suggestion for article split
I propose a suggestion for consideration, about a split of this article. Break this article into two articles, the first being Citrus Bowl, which would discuss the stadium that stood at this site from 1936-2013. The second would be Camping World Stadium, which is the stadium has stood at this site since 2014.

The facility that is on this site (with the exception of the two decks) is a completely brand new stadium. The old Citrus Bowl was almost completely demolished. While some reports state the stadium was 'refurbished', that is not accurate.

There is precedent to this move. There are two articles for the stadium in Jacksonville, which underwent a nearly identical transformation. Gator Bowl Stadium deals with the stadium that was on the site from 1927-1994, and EverBank Field deals with the stadium on that same site 1995-present. Almost the entire stadium (except for the upper deck) was demolished and the new facility was built on the same footprint.

This is a suggestion, open for comment and consideration, as the article is quite lengthy. No action to be taken until there is some input. Doctorindy↔Talk 14:24, 10 October 2016 (UTC)
 * The differences are that this stadium kept the entire upper deck, as well as much of the rest of its infrastructure, while EverBank did not. Also, sources talk about the fact that the Citrus Bowl went under a renovation, not a destruction and rebuild like EverBank. I'd vote to keep as is. Elisfkc (talk) 16:33, 10 October 2016 (UTC)
 * Agree generally with the opinion above. However, simply for discussion purposes, there is another somewhat similar example. There are separate articles for Centennial Olympic Stadium and Turner Field, which underwent a planned reconfiguration. Doctorindy↔Talk 18:13, 16 November 2016 (UTC)
 * I see this more as a major renovation than a rebuild, so there's continuity that doesn't seem to exist for the Gator Bowl vs. Everbank Field. With the Turner Field/Centennial Olympic Stadium issue, the break is more because of two very distinct eras of the facility's existence (and it could easily be argued that the two articles be combined, in my opinion). With its planned renovation for football, there may likely be a third article created in time for its next era. A similar case is also from the history of the Braves, with Braves Field and Nickerson Field. Nickerson is largely made up of the remnants of Braves Field, so the separate articles are for the two very distinct periods of major league baseball and college football. --JonRidinger (talk) 19:03, 16 November 2016 (UTC)

Attendance Record
I have no beef with WWE, but listing their phony Wrestlemania number as the attendance record is absurd, the building doesn't even have that many seats, even factoring in the floor seats they had on the field. The stage and set blocked off several thousand seats in the stadium. Regardless of what was announced, that number is not real.Spman (talk) 01:05, 4 April 2017 (UTC)

Seating capacity
Why is the seating capacity for soccer so much lower? Do they really remove over 45000 seats to set up for soccer matches? Or is it just that they don't sell that many tickets? --Khajidha (talk) 12:45, 3 January 2019 (UTC)
