Orlando's Push for Major League Baseball Expansion.
Officials have unveiled the design for a proposed $1.7 billion Major League Baseball stadium in Orlando, which would be the largest private investment ever for a publicly owned MLB stadium. The stadium is expected to hold about 45,000 fans and would require $700 million in private funds. The proposed location is the tourist district on International Drive. The road to a professional baseball team in Orlando can happen in two ways: MLB can expand its current roster of teams, or an existing team would move to Central Florida.
