The game is scheduled for Monday, Sept. 5, 2016, in the newly reconstructed Citrus Bowl. The stadium has undergone a $207 million reconstruction that's expected to be completed this month.

Orlando is the latest city to get in the game of hosting neutral site matchups on college football's opening weekend. Other cities currently hosting opening weekend neutral-site games include Arlington, Texas; Houston; Charlotte, North Carolina, and Atlanta.
