AP reporter Mark Long, who covered the "Daytona Rising" groundbreaking, tweeted: "After Daytona's $400M redesign, track wants soccer, rugby & football games. Thinking Jaguars, Gators & Seminoles for plush, 100k-seat venue."

QuoteIf that ever came to pass, the games, Long added in another tweet, would be played in the grassy area inside the tri-oval along the frontstretch. The fact that several football fields could fit inside that patch of turf gives some idea of Daytona's size.

Tripp Mickle, a staff writer for Street and Smith's Sports Business Journal, already has compared the new-look Daytona to a football facility: "The new Daytona would look far more like a contemporary NFL stadium than a racetrack."
