The Orlando City Soccer Club has honored the 49 victims of last June’s mass shooting at gay nightclub Pulse with a moving tribute in the Major League Soccer team’s new stadium.
In a private ceremony Wednesday, city and team officials unveiled 49 special seats at the stadium laid out in the shape of a rainbow flag — a prominent symbol of the Lgbtq community. The team’s season begins in March.
The regular ticket holder seats — located in section 12 of the stadium — will be “a constant reminder of the senseless acts of June 12,” Orlando City president Phil Rawlins said in a video of the ceremony.
