 Orlando City Orlando City is making plans to become the next big soccer franchise in the untied states. They have purchased a piece of land for $4 million dollars. They intend on building a $110 million dollar stadium although they don’t have permission to begin planning yet.
Orlando City are making plans to be the next big thing in U.S. soccer. The Florida franchise, who compete in the USL Pro league, have paid $4 million for land on which they reportedly intend to build a $110 million stadium (via Orlando Sentinel).
They don't have planning permission and they don't have an official invite to become an MLS expansion team yet, but we can only assume both are believed sure-fire certainties by the club's owners—led by president Phil Rawlins, the ex-pat Englishman who is also a director at Premier League club Stoke City, and bolstered by a "significant investment" this month from Brazilian businessman Flavio Augusto daSilva.
