Orlando Dreamers’ Plan to Bring MLB to Orlando | Stadium Site, Expansion & Relocation Explained

On this episode of Stadium BS, host Frankie Castellon sits down with Jim Schnorf of the Orlando Dreamers to break down the organization’s ambitious effort to bring Major League Baseball to Orlando.

Jim discusses how the Dreamers initiative began alongside the late Pat Williams, the legendary sports executive who helped shape major league sports in Orlando. The group outlines its strategy to secure an MLB franchise through expansion or by acquiring and relocating an existing team.

In this conversation, Schnorf explains the progress the Dreamers have already made, including a proposed stadium site located next to SeaWorld Orlando, and a financing plan built around a public-private partnership utilizing tourist development tax funds. The discussion also highlights the organization’s focus on community impact, including youth baseball field development across the region.

With aggressive branding led by Andy Herdleska and growing momentum behind the project, the Dreamers believe Orlando presents one of the strongest cases for MLB expansion this decade.
