Orange County Mayor Wants To Help Citrus Bowl Draw Top Teams

Orange County (Fla.) Mayor Teresa Jacobs today in a one-on-one meeting with Orlando Mayor Buddy Dyer will propose a stopgap plan to help the Citrus Bowl "hold on to its prime football games," with "no broader plan emerging to jump-start" $175M in stalled stadium renovations. Jacobs wants to provide about $2M annually in tourist taxes to Florida Citrus Sports, which books games at the venue, "so that it can offer bigger payouts to attract top teams." The group currently pays about $14M to teams that play in the Capital One and Champs Sports Bowls (ORLANDO SENTINEL, 6/6).
