Pro Bowl hitting Orlando

ORLANDO, Fla. — The Pro Bowl is Orlando-bound.

After weeks of speculation, the NFL announced on Wednesday that the Pro Bowl is moving from Honolulu to Orlando for the next three seasons.

“For us, Orlando is the new home of the Pro Bowl,” NFL senior vice president of events Peter O’Reilly said at a news conference at Disney’s ESPN Wide World of Sports.

The NFL and Orlando agreed on a three-year deal for the Pro Bowl to be played at renovated Camping World Stadium, formerly the Citrus Bowl.

The Pro Bowl had been anchored in Hawaii since 1979 with the exception of two years. The game will be played Jan. 29.

Also, the league said the preseason game between the Miami Dolphins and Atlanta Falcons on Aug. 25 will be played at the stadium that underwent $200 million in renovations in hopes of attracting interest from the NFL.

Orlando Mayor Buddy Dyer said that combined with other sports events set for the stadium, that his city is not only the top theme park destination, but also the top sports destination. He said the NFL will be paid $1 million in tax money.
