Orlando City Joins MLS Arms Race, Will Build New Training Complex in Lake Nona

Club takes next step toward becoming Soccer Capital of the South with a shiny new training complex in Southeast Orlando.

Orlando City will host a happy hour event at the Lake Nona Town Center tonight, where the team is expected to announce the construction of a 23-acre training complex, which was reported this morning by the Orlando Sentinel's Paul Tenorio and Mary Shanklin. The complex is expected to open in 2017, the same year as the new soccer stadium.

MLS clubs are trying to become more attractive landing places for players by building nicer and newer training facilities and Orlando City is entering the arms race.
