Orlando City president Phil Rawlins led a private ceremony unveiling 49 rainbow-colored seats honoring 49 Pulse Nightclub shooting victims.

The seats, which honor the people killed at a popular Orlando gay nightclub on June 12, are in section 12 of the Lions' new stadium set to open in March at the start of the 2017 Major League Soccer season.

Orlando City played a home game June 18 and included numerous tributes to victims of the largest mass shooting in modern U.S. history.

"Just over six months ago on June the 12th, there was the senseless loss of 49 lives at the Pulse Nigthclub," Rawlins said in video of the private ceremony the club released.
