Our City is a weekly column dedicated to taking a wide-angled lens to the culture that surrounds Orlando City and Major League Soccer.
The schedule makers didn’t accidentally send NYCFC to Florida for the second season opener in three years. While I’m sure the Citizens will enjoy an early season trip to sunny, mild Central Florida, their appearance is not a coincidence. They like a bit of drama and wanted to provide a nice match-up for our “homecoming” game.
If you will remember back, and how could you forget, it was NYCFC that helped kick off our first Major League Soccer season in front of 62,510 at Orlando’s Citrus Bowl.
