Orlando's $1.7 Billion Pitch to Bring MLB Team to City
TL;DR Summary
Orlando Magic co-founder Pat Williams has unveiled plans for a new 45,000-seat, domed baseball stadium in the heart of Orlando's tourist district, as part of a proposal to lure a Major League Baseball franchise to Central Florida. The stadium would cost an estimated $1.7 billion, with Williams hoping to convince the Orange County Tourist Development task force to commit nearly a billion dollars in funding from their Tourist Development Tax. The remaining cost would be covered by the owner of whichever MLB team decides to re-home themselves in Orlando.
