Financial details are being worked out by city and county officials. Stadium would go in downtown Orlando with the hope of an MLS team starting in 2015

Just got back from Orlando today and I can tell you they are very excited about the possibility. The news led with "A New Major Sports Team To Call Orlando Home." I went through it in my head -- NBA is already there, NHL seems unlikely to expand or relocate to FL, NFL -- well maybe Jacksonville is relocating to Orlando?, MLB - enough Spring Traning an hour away... makes no sense. So I didn't really know what was going on and there was a Seinfeld rerun on a different channel so I failed to watch to the end.

Then I saw this press conference for Orlando City FC. Well God bless these people is about all I can say. UCF Football will be a bigger draw (and has more advertising) but if Brian Bauer can put butts in the seats here, I see no reason why he can't duplicate it there*

*Brian Bauer not affiliated with Orlando soccer.
