The United States is home to many of the largest stadiums in the world. Here we look specifically at the Sunshine State stadiums and which ones in Florida are a cut above the rust.
As a born and raised Floridian, I got curious the other day what the actual stadium capacity sizes were of a few stadiums in South Florida. That ultimately led to this, a list of the 12 largest stadiums in Florida and their seating capacities.
The 12 Largest Stadiums In Florida
Up first is The Swamp. It is the biggest stadium in Florida by a country mile. Home of the Florida Gators, it is an iconic stadium and one that would blow a European’s mind. But to that end, I have to think that even the 7th or 8th largest stadium in Florida would blow a European’s mind because we simply love our college sports in America.
1. Ben Hill Griffin Stadium: 88,548 Capacity

The Florida Gators play at Ben Hill Griffin Stadium which is not only the largest stadium in the state of Florida it’s the 12th largest stadium in the United States and 21st largest stadium in the entire world.
It is hard to get a full sense of the stadium’s size from the street because much of the space sits below the ground. With a capacity of 88,548, Ben Hill Griffin Stadium has actually bee pushed to 90K+ for Gators games. And unlike several of the other stadiums on this list, the Florida Gators don’t share their stadium with anyone else. They do host concerts though.
2. Raymond James Stadium: 69,218 Capacity

The only stadium in America with a life-sized pirate ship inside! Raymond James Stadium is home to the 2-time Super Bowl champion Tampa Bay Buccaneers and it is the 38th largest stadium in the world by capacity. In addition to NFL games, The RayJay also hosts WWE events and regular monster truck rallies as well as concerts.
Since 2018, Raymond James Stadium has hosted the Gasparilla Bowl and it is also home to the USF Bulls football team. Where else can you see a cannon be fired off inside a stadium?! Nowhere. That’s the answer. Go Bucs.
3. Everbank Stadium: 67,814 Capacity

EverBank Stadium in Jacksonville is the 3rd largest stadium in Florida and the 43rd largest stadium in the United States by capacity. The stadium as we currently know it is undergoing a drastic overhaul to become the ‘Stadium of the Future’ and renovations are expected to be done by 2028.
Home to the Jags, EverBank Stadium also hosts the annual Gator Bowl and the ‘Largest Outdoor Cocktail Party,’ the annual Florida-Georgia game where they meet on ‘neutral ground’ in Jacksonville.
4. Doak Campbell Stadium: 67,277 Capacity

My favorite stadium on this list, Doak Campbell Stadium, is home to the Florida State Seminoles. I went to school in Tallahassee and tried to never miss a game when I was a student. There’s NOTHING like Doak Campbell on a Saturday night when the ‘Noles are good.
By capacity, Doak Campbell Stadium is the 46th largest stadium in America across all sports. It opened in 1950 with a capacity of just 15,000 but has since expanded, and expanded, and just recently finished a renovation before the start of this college football season.
5. Hard Rock Stadium: 64,767 Capacity

Home of the Miami Dolphins and the University of Miami Hurricanes football team, Hard Rock Stadium is one of my favorite stadiums here in Florida if only because it has an in-house night club where you can get bottle service while waiting for all of the stadium traffic to clear out. By capacity, Hard Rock is the 53rd largest stadium in the United States.
This stadium has hosted six Super Bowls (XXIII, XXIX, XXXIII, XLI, XLIV, LIV), the 2010 Pro Bowl, four BCS National Championships (2001, 2005, 2009, 2013), the College Football Playoffs National Championship in 2021, and is one of the best-known stadiums in the nation at this point.
6. Camping World Stadium: 60,219 Capacity

Orlando’s Camping World Stadium is the 74th largest stadium in the USA. I saw WrestleMania here a few years back and it was glorious.
Built in 1936, this stadium feels quite old but without a professional football team in Orlando there really doesn’t seem to be a need to tear it down and build something new. It was renovated in 2021 and recently hosted 4 2025 FIFA Club World Cup games.
7. Acrisure Bounce House: 45,301 Capacity

Acrisure Bounce House, formerly known as FBC Mortgage Stadium, is home to the UCF Knights football team and the Cure Bowl. It is also the 112th largest stadium in the USA.
8. Tropicana Field: 42,735 Capacity

It felt a little word including Tropicana Field here given that the future of Tropicana is unknown. The roof was shredded to pieces last hurricane season but that doesn’t mean Tropicana Field is lost and gone forever.
With a capacity of 42,735, Tropicana Field is the 119th largest stadium in the United States though it is rarely at 100% capacity. The Trop is home to the Tampa Bay Rays but has also hosted WWE events, The Tampa Bay Lightning in the team’s early days, Tampa Bay Storm, and more.
9. LoanDepot Park: 36,742 Capacity

LoanDepot Park in Miami is home to the Miami Marlins. It has a capacity of 36,742 but everyone knows the Marlins’ attendance reputation so it’s very rare there are even half of that capacity in the stands.
The stadium broke ground in 2009, opened in 2012, and is the 145th largest stadium in the United States. LoanDepot has also hosted a college football bowl game, international soccer matches (Venezual v Nigeria), and will host the NHL’s Winter Classic in 2026.
10. Flagler Credit Union Stadium: 29,571 Capacity

Flagler Credit Union Stadium aka FAU Stadium aka Howard Schnellenberger Field at Flagler Credit Union Stadium sure has A LOT OF NAMES for a stadium that most Floridians will never see the inside of… It is the 174th largest stadium in the US and home to the FAU Owls Football Team.
This stadium opened in October 2011 and is home to the FAU Owls but also has hosted the Boca Raton Bowl annually since 2014.
11. Inter&Co Stadium: 25,500 Capacity

Inter&Co Stadium in Orlando is a 25,500 capacity MLS stadium that is home to Orlando City SC (MLS) and the Orlando Pride (NWSL) soccer teams. It is a relatively new stadium that opened up in 2017. Inter&Co Stadium is the 186th largest stadium in the United States.
Inter&CO Stadium hosted the MLS All-Star game in 2019, it has twice hosted a college football bowl game, and the opening ceremony of the 2022 Special Olympics USA Games.
12. Chase Stadium: 21,550 Capacity

For the smallest stadium on the list, Chase Stadium is actually home to the biggest star: Lionel Messi. Chase Stadium in Fort Lauderdale is the home of Inter Miami CF where the biggest soccer star on planet earth plays his MLS games. It is the 229th largest stadium overall in the US.
As far as stadiums go, this one is borderline brand new. It opened in July 2020 which begs to wonder why they didn’t build it a little larger and why they didn’t consider a dome room given that it is South Florida and we have monsoon season for half of the year.
