Orlando, are you ready for some football?
The National Football League’s Pro Bowl will reportedly be moving from Honolulu to Orlando, according to a report from Bloomberg’s Scott Soshnick.
Soshnick said Orlando was one of four cities attempting to be the new home of the NFL Pro Bowl.
The people who confirmed the details to Soshnick were given anonymity because no official announcement has been made by the NFL.
“In Orlando, the game will be played at [Camping World Stadium], which underwent a $200 million renovation two years ago. Greg Creese, a spokesman for Florida Citrus Sports, which promotes local tourism, declined to comment,” Soshnick reported.
After Soshnick’s initial report, several news outlets ran with the story and speculate that the Pro Bowl could be be coming to Orlando as early as next year.
“Orlando’s [Camping World Stadium] has undergone extensive renovations and is angling to host NFL games, which could include both the Pro Bowl and potentially an occasional home game for either the Jacksonville Jaguars or Tampa Bay Buccaneers,” NBC Sports reported.
