Orlando City Soccer Club Unveils Permanent Seating Section Dedicated to Pulse Nightclub Victims
Orlando City Soccer Club has unveiled a permanent memorial to the 49 people killed in the Pulse nightclub massacre last year.
The memorial is comprised of a permanent section of 59 rainbow colored seats. Each seat is adorned with the message #orlandounited.
Speaking at the unveiling, club founder and life president Phil Rawlins said:
“We are here to commemorate and unveil the 49 rainbow-colored seats that will sit permanently in section 12 of our stadium as a constant reminder of the senseless acts of June 12.
“These are regular season-ticket holder seats. We put them in section 12 because obviously we felt that was pertinent. It was June 12th last year when the tragedy happened. They are right down by the benches and will certainly be seen by everyone in the stadium.”
