The Orlando City Soccer Club began a campaign mid-February to fill the Orlando Citrus Bowl once again for its season opener.
This time, it will be the beginning of their second season, with an experienced team at the helm as well as the support of an average of 32,947 fans who arrived to the Orlando Citrus Bowl to cheer on the Lions. On a title of holding among the nation’s highest MLS average game attendance, the soccer club looks to repeat that success with its successful brand and #FillTheBowlAgain.
The club broke attendance records with the support of the Orlando community, drawing fans from all fifty states and over fifty countries while becoming ‘the fastest in MLS history to reach a half-million fans.
The week of anticipation – Kickoff Week – began with the Orlando City Tailgate with CFHLA on Tuesday, continued with the Purple Pride 5k on Thursday and transitions to the Orlando City Pub Crawl Sunday afternoon. The signing of steel beams that will be used on the new MLS soccer stadium being built in downtown Orlando also adds to the week of events in the city. The beam swill continue to be available for signing until game time on Sunday.
Tickets can be bought here, with prices beginning at $15 following the expansion of seating.
Orlando City will open their season against Real Salt Lake on Sunday, March 6th at 2 p.m.
Knight News will be downtown and at the Citrus Bowl to bring coverage of the season opener.
