Grass was put down in Orlando City's new downtown stadium yesterday, marking another milestone in its completion coming right on schedule, and it's a good thing because there is no room for delays.
The Lions' 2017 season opener will be March 5 at 5 p.m. in their new home against New York City FC. The two teams played their inaugural matches against one another in 2015 at Camping World Stadium (then the Citrus Bowl) in front of a record-breaking crowd of 62,500 people.
All Major League Soccer openers for next year were released Wednesday morning.
