University officials say the groundbreaking will be held this fall during Homecoming Week from Oct. 14 to 19.

In December, the USF Board of Trustees signed off on the $340 million stadium, which is set to be completed in time for the 2027 football season.

The university also released two new renderings of the stadium, which will be build on east side of the Tampa campus. A first set of renderings was released in December.

Earlier this week, it was announced that the team of Manhattan Construction Co., H.J. Russell & Co. and DuCon LLC will manage construction of the stadium.

The Bulls will hold their spring game at 2 p.m. Saturday at Corbett Stadium on campus. A fan fest precedes the game at noon.
