All the parties - Otago United, Football South and Dunedin Venues Management Ltd (DVML) - agree in principle, it is just the detail which need ironing out.
"We want to play there and they want soccer at the venue," Lamont said.
The parties will meet next week and Lamont believes a deal is not too far off. The question is how much it will cost to play in the roofed stadium.
"I don't expect to pay any more than we pay at the moment," he said.
"I suppose it is part of trying to grow soccer and them utilising the stadium. It may well be that they have to give us a bit of a hand at the beginning.
"They know that soccer at that level isn't a big spectator sport and, frankly, the charges have to be reasonable based on how many people are likely to come in."
Lamont said large chunks of stadium could be closed down and Otago United did not expect to use all facilities.
"Most guys would give their eye teeth to play there. I know the thrill they got when we had a couple of seasons at Carisbrook.
"Playing in the new stadium will be the icing on the cake for a lot of guys."
The National Football League begins in October and United is expected to stage at least seven home games at Forsyth Barr Stadium.
DVML chief executive David Davies was also optimistic.
"This is an opportunity for the region to work together to realise some real efficiencies while growing the participation levels in football," he said in a press release.
"Forsyth Barr Stadium is perfectly suited to football, with the rectangular pitch allowing for a spectator and player experience that is second to none. We look forward to working further with these organisations."
