Great experience at the Orlando Stadium... the energy of having the crowd back in the stadium elevates the game to another level. It was electrifying to say the least. There was an afternoon match and evening match - the location was stunning as the sunset and the evening lights glittered in the cool evening breeze. Great hospitality from Stadium staff and security. Enjoyed my time at the Stadium
Great venue for the locals. An electric atmosphere coupled with a great community. Even better when the home team Orlando Pirates plays. Perfect for family, couples and more especially football lovers.
Beside being a pirates fan. I like Orlando Stadium, it have a little close up which is good for shadow when it's hot. The service is fine. Good parking and everything, it gets too packed better arrive early.
Awesome atmosphere quick to get out and a mission buying beer food isn't to bad at all.
It was so much fun but Pirates and Sundowns had a of draw 0-0
