Come next football season, Windermere High School students, parents, staff and families will be getting their longtime dream — a football stadium on campus.

The Orange County Commission approved the on-campus stadium at its meeting Tuesday, Oct. 24.

The school’s off-campus football stadium — built more than a mile down the road from the campus — has seen a multitude of complications since it opened in 2018.

Now, just as most other public high schools, more than 3,100 Wolverine students will host home football games and other events onsite.

The new stadium is expected to seat up to 1,850 people and will cost about $3 million to build on the existing practice field on campus on Winter Garden-Vineland Road.

The stadium is estimated to be ready come August 2024.
