Orlando City could announce the name of its new stadium as soon as this week, according to CEO Alex Leitão.
“Almost there,” Leitão told the Orlando Sentinel in an exclusive interview Monday. “I’m pretty confident that we are very close. Could be this week.”
“Those kinds of things, until it’s done, there is no deal. We are in very advanced conversations, and it’s the right partner and I’ll be very happy if we are able to announce this as soon as possible.”
That partner’s name will grace five areas in the new stadium, based on master signage plans submitted to the city, including the upper left corner of a 1,935-square-foot image of the Lions’ logo pained on architectural metal panels.
