Orlando City SC multi-purpose Stadium funding approved by Orange County Board
A few weeks ago we cover a story on Orlando City progress to secure one of four spots available for the MLS expansion. The final vote needed from the orange County Board of Commissioners to fund a multi-purpose soccer stadium construction was voted in favor of Orlando City Soccer on Tuesday.
A statement from the club official website reads:
“We are ecstatic about the positive vote,” said Orlando City President Phil Rawlins. Our fans have been the driving force behind the effort to bring MLS to Orlando. This one is for them.”
As you can see above the fans was the driving force behind this incredible chapter in the Lions history and we’ve included below a few quotes below of just how much this means to them.
