The change of venue comes as the soccer club waits for Major League Soccer to announce Orlando has cinched the newest franchise, which could come in the next few weeks.

When that happens, work is expected to begin on a new soccer-specific stadium in the city's Parramore area.

The ESPN complex can hold up to 5,200 spectators while the Citrus Bowl undergoes $200 million in renovations.
