Orlando played their first two seasons in MLS at Camping World Stadium (formerly known as the Citrus Bowl), which has an artificial surface. They’ll play on natural grass at the new Orlando City Stadium, which is located in downtown Orlando and will officially open when the Lions host New York City FC on March 5.
