History and description

The recently opened Exploria Stadium is the new soccer-specific stadium of Orlando City. The stadium was part of the proposal for Orlando City to join Major League Soccer in 2015. The stadium, located in downtown Orlando, is unique in that it has a retractable roof. The stadium has a seating capacity of 25,000 and can accommodate up to 50,000 for large events. The announcement of plans for a new stadium for Orlando City SC in the summer of 2015 prompted construction to begin almost immediately. The team moved to their new home in 2017, following two seasons at the Orlando Citrus Bowl.

The stadium was initially planned to have 19,000 seats, but this increased following strong attendances in Orlando City's first two MLS seasons. The stadium was the first in MLS to have a standing section. It was fully privately funded.

Orlando City Stadium opened on February 24, 2017, and the first match played there was a league match between Orlando City and New York City FC on March 5.

The stadium was renamed Exploria Stadium in 2019 following a naming rights sponsorship deal.

I walked from the bus station (about 15 minutes). The stadium is very nice and modern. The game itself was quiet good but the atmosphere was poor from European point of view.
