Coral Springs United, a club soccer team with 11 players from Marjory Stoneman Douglas High, was in attendance for Saturday’s game.
“We had a chat about that a few weeks ago,” Orlando City coach Jason Kreis said. “We thought it would be a really, really cool idea. I can’t speak particularly on whose idea it was. I think we just all have to share credit for that.
“I hope that it was a special occasion for them. We talked about when would be the right time. For me, the right time was to do it before them game and have them down and watch warm ups and be on the sidelines and get a real feel for how special a place this is.
