Background

On July 15, 2015, Orlando City opened an additional 4,000 seats for sale to potential season ticket holders, bringing the total available season tickets to 18,000. [1] The extra allotment sold out on August 18, 2015. [2] Season tickets are again sold out for the 2016 season. [3]

On October 15, 2015, Orlando City announced that they would field an owned-and-operated team in the United Soccer League, Orlando City B. The team began play in the 2016 season at Eastern Florida State College's Melbourne campus. [4]

On January 13, 2016, Orlando City announced that they would play the entire 2016 season at Camping World Stadium. They had hoped to move into Orlando City Stadium in September but construction delays made that impossible. The team instead moved in 2017. [5]
