“What’s the deal with this safe standing thing?”
I pondered this after years of going to Orlando City matches. Yes, there were times the supporters stood, and other times when the vast majority sat. We stood and cheered, we sat and chanted or sang. The experience was great under all of those conditions.
So, it was with great curiosity that I wondered why anyone would choose to buy a ticket in a section without seats. I decided to find that out in Orlando City’s opening match against New York City FC.
I met up before the game with former Mane Land writers Andrew Harrison and Luis Hernandez.
