According to these reports, the NFL's Pro Bowl could be on the move once again.
Pro Football Talk is reporting — citing three unnamed sources through Bloomberg — that the NFL is looking to move the Pro Bowl to Orlando for the upcoming season. The game would be held at the renovated Citrus Bowl.
The NFL is apparently saying that no official decision has been made yet, but that they are still considering the location for the 2017 version of the NFL all-star game. Those destinations include Orlando, Houston (the Super Bowl 51 host), Honolulu, and Sydney, Australia.
The Pro Bowl has been under scrutiny for several years, as attendance and importance of the game has plummeted. Many high-profile players have been pulling out of the game recent, as over 40 players declined to play in the game in 2016.
If the game does move, it will only be the third time the game hasn't been held in Honolulu since the 1979 season. The other two times when in 2010 (Miami) and 2015 (Arizona).
