BRONX, N.Y. — Orlando City supporters who made the trip to Yankee Stadium for Saturday’s match against NYCFC were treated to a special surprise, courtesy of Saturday Night Lights, a youth group supported by NYCFC.
The group set up 49 rainbow seats, similar to the seats at Orlando City Stadium that honor the 49 victims of the Pulse Nightclub shooting. Orlando City supporters who came to the match were not expecting the gesture and got a pleasant surprise.
Saturday’s match was also Pride Night at Yankee Stadium.
“It’s mad cool; it makes us feel a little more at home,” Lions fan Chris Massarelli said.
