Rawlins brought professional soccer to Orlando in 2010 when he moved the Austin Aztex to Florida. He oversaw the club's move from USL to MLS in 2015 and helped the team secure a new downtown stadium, which will open in 2017.
“The opening of the stadium in March is the final piece in the jigsaw puzzle. With the stadium complete I have accomplished all that I promised the community of Central Florida when I arrived in Orlando in 2010," Rawlins said in a club release.
