Orlando sports venue development

Overview

In late July 2026 Orlando’s City Council approved a $61 million, 13,000 sqm event center adjacent to Camping World Stadium. The project is part of a broader $400 million revitalization funded by the Tourist Development Tax and aims to attract larger national and international events while addressing resident concerns about traffic and parking.

A few weeks later, in early August 2026, the Orlando Dreamers unveiled renderings for a far larger, $2 billion domed 45,000‑seat Major League Baseball stadium on International Drive. The proposal seeks $975 million from the same Tourist Development Tax, with the balance from private investors, and projects tens of thousands of construction and permanent jobs. The county’s Tourist Development Tax Task Force began reviewing the request, leaving the stadium’s approval uncertain. Both initiatives reflect an ongoing push to expand Orlando’s sports and entertainment infrastructure through public‑private partnerships and tourism‑related financing.
