South Florida's $407 million on-campus stadium is under construction on the east side of the Tampa campus, with the first game set for Sept. 5, 2027, against Louisville.

Athletics CEO Rob Higgins said general seating for the inaugural schedule will go on sale this fall, with season tickets as low as $25 per game. Higgins also said all 28 luxury suites are sold out.

South Florida has opened ticket sales for premium seating for the 2027 football season at its new 35,000-seat on-campus stadium, Athletics CEO Rob Higgins announced Monday.

A new stadium website has gone live to facilitate those purchases. The website also features animated renderings of stadium areas and a timelapse video of construction.

Higgins, in a post on X, added that general seating for the inaugural season will go on sale this fall, with season tickets prices as low as $25 per game.

“We want to make sure every loyal @USFFootball fan has options to attend our home games in the new stadium,” Higgins wrote.

All 28 luxury suites are sold out but other premium areas are still available, he said.

“The demand around the stadium’s premium offerings has been incredible without even officially being on public sale yet,” Higgins wrote.

In addition to the luxury suites, there are 22 living room boxes, 17 loge boxes and about 2,200 club seats.

Living room boxes offer lounge seating on the sidelines and in the end zone, with personal video screens. The semi-private loge boxes include generous counter space and personal video screens.

There are three areas of club seating:

  • Ninety-Seven Club, which includes sideline 50-yard line “all-inclusive seats with access to an exclusive hidden speakeasy in the stadium,” Higgins said.
  • Sideline Club, which has sideline views and access to the Sideline Club Lounge.
  • Field Club offers end zone seating and access to the Field Club Lounge.

All premium seats include food, beer and wine, plus access to premium lounges.
