With the club moving to a brand-new downtown stadium, the Lions hope to achieve their first postseason berth in 2017.
A tumultuous 2016 saw Orlando City miss out on the postseason for the second straight season. As the Lions move to a new stadium in 2017, the club hopes some stability under head coach Jason Kreis will lead to OCSC's first ever playoff appearance in its third season in MLS.
After a disappointing midseason run the club fired Adrian Heath, the coach who nearly guided the Lions to the postseason in their expansion season of 2015. In came Kreis, who was unable to turn things around enough to reach the playoffs.
