Report: 2017 Pro Bowl to be held in Orlando

According to a report, the 2017 Pro Bowl will be held in Orlando, Florida.

The Pro Bowl is going to have a new home.

After the Pro Bowl was brought back to Hawaii after temporarily being moved to Glendale ahead of Super Bowl 49, the game featuring the best players in the NFL will have a new home yet again.

According to Bloomberg.com and reported by Mark Cavitt, the 2017 Pro Bowl will be held at Camping World Stadium, formerly known as the Citrus Bowl, in Orlando, Florida.

The move is an interesting one as the allure of Hawaii was always seen as a year-end celebration for the league’s players. However, with a record number of players being selected to the Pro Bowl last year, it’s clear that the game doesn’t hold the importance that it one did.

Perhaps this is the league trying to spice up interest in the game and taking it to an area where fans might have an easier time accessing it. Hawaii is a fun place to go see the game, but getting to Orlando is a lot easier and more financially feasible.

It will be an exciting time for Orlando, as the same stadium will hold WrestleMania 33 just a few months later. If all of that isn’t enough to entice people to make the trip to Orlando, they can also go visit Walt Disney World, Epcot and a variety of luxurious golf courses surrounded by alligators.
