MCO is about 10 miles southeast of Inter&Co Stadium in downtown Orlando. A rideshare from the terminal runs $20–35. The SunRail commuter rail connects the airport to downtown Orlando, with the Church St station a short walk from the stadium. Allow about 40–50 minutes total via transit from the airport.
Inter&Co Stadium has limited on-site parking. The surrounding downtown Orlando garage network has numerous options within a 5–10 minute walk, including city-managed structures on Church St and Orange Ave. Pre-booking via SpotHero is recommended for big matches. SunRail and rideshare are strong alternatives to fighting for downtown parking.
Orlando City's supporter groups (Iron Lion Firm) create one of the louder atmospheres in MLS. The pre-match scene extends along Church St and into downtown Orlando's bar district. The Lions tailgate in nearby lots and at Church St bars before matches — check supporter social channels for organized gatherings.
SunRail's Church St station is an 8-minute walk from Inter&Co Stadium and connects from downtown Orlando's Lynx Central Station and the airport area. SunRail runs extended service on match days — check sunrail.com for game-day schedules. Lynx bus routes also serve the downtown area.
Inter&Co Stadium is in the heart of downtown Orlando, steps from the Church St entertainment district and a short walk from the SODO neighborhood. Thornton Park to the east and the downtown hotel corridor are both walkable. This is one of the better downtown MLS venue locations in the Southeast.
Bike parking is available near the stadium. Orlando's growing bike lane network and the West Orange Trail system make cycling from some neighborhoods a practical option. Juice Bike Share has stations in downtown Orlando.
Accessible parking is available in nearby downtown garages with ADA-designated spaces. The accessible drop-off zone is near the main entrance on South St. For accessibility accommodations, contact Orlando City SC at orlandocitysc.com.
Inter&Co Stadium (formerly Exploria Stadium) sits in downtown Orlando and is a purpose-built soccer venue that has served Orlando City SC since 2017. It holds around 25,500 fans in a two-tier stadium with an open-ended design that lets in the Florida sky. The atmosphere in the supporter section, driven by the Lions supporters' groups, is consistently one of the louder environments in MLS.
The stadium is in the heart of downtown Orlando, with Church Street and the downtown entertainment district nearby for pregame options. Ride-sharing is common given Orlando's car-dependent layout, but the central location makes it easier to navigate than many MLS venues. The Florida heat makes early kickoffs preferable — evening games are more comfortable and the atmosphere tends to be livelier.
Outside drinks are not permitted.
Outside food is not permitted.
Exceptions will be made for those with medical requirements and/or special needs.
The stadium is a clear bag only venue. Guests are encouraged to limit the number of items they bring with them to the stadium.
Allowed bags include:
Prohibited bags include but are not limited to large purses, coolers, briefcases, backpacks, luggage of any kind, computer bags or any bag larger than the permissible size.
Exceptions will be made for diaper bags and medically necessary items that do not fit into a clear bag.
Inter&Co Stadium is a purpose-built soccer venue in downtown Orlando that opened in 2017. The lower bowl is compact and intimate, with midfield sections close to the touchline. Orlando City’s passionate supporter section (Wall Street) creates one of the louder atmospheres in MLS, and the purple kit and fan base make for a visually distinctive matchday.
Inter&Co Stadium’s upper bowl midfield sections offer a solid overhead view of the entire pitch. The compact stadium design keeps the upper sections from feeling too distant from the action. A good value choice for most games, with the primary difference from the lower bowl being proximity to the touchline rather than sightline quality.
The Wall Street supporter section is one of the louder environments in MLS and is standing and focused on atmosphere rather than viewing the game. End goal sections also offer steep angles to the far goal. Corner sections are similarly restricted. Midfield in the lower or upper bowl is the right choice for watching the game.
Inter&Co Stadium runs roughly north-south. The east side stands face west and get more direct afternoon sun for evening kickoffs. The west side benefits from shade earlier. Florida UV intensity is high year-round — sunscreen is essential for any game regardless of which side you’re on. The shaded west side is meaningfully more comfortable for afternoon games.
Inter&Co Stadium is open-air in downtown Orlando. Florida summers are hot, humid, and prone to near-daily afternoon thunderstorms. Evening kickoffs are strongly preferable to afternoon starts from May through October. Check the forecast before any summer game. The trade-off is that Orlando winters are mild and beautiful — February and March games are among the best weather conditions in MLS. Bring water and sunscreen for any warm-weather game.
Main Concourse - Orlando's award-winning BBQ institution brings their Central Florida-style smoked meats to Exploria Stadium. The beef brisket sandwich is consistently excellent and a true local favorite.
Section 108 - Orlando's beloved artisanal donut shop brings creative, freshly made donuts to matchday. The maple bacon and the Fruity Pebbles varieties are the crowd favorites.
Throughout the Stadium - Florida craft brewery with strong regional following. Their Working Man's Lunch Pale Ale and seasonal Florida Weisse are solid matchday options in the Orlando heat.
Orlando City Stadium's north end supporter section — known as The Wall — is one of MLS's most visually impressive. The purple smoke, massive tifo banners, and coordinated chanting have made it one of the league's great supporter environments. On big match nights, the Wall creates an atmosphere that belies the club's relatively recent MLS entry.
Orlando City's supporter groups fill sections 22–28 in the north end of Inter&Co Stadium in a standing section known as The Wall. Purple smoke, massive tifo banners, and synchronized chanting make it one of MLS's most visually impressive supporter sections. Non-Orlando City apparel is not permitted in the supporter sections.
In the Stands offers apparel for fans who enjoy visiting ballparks and stadiums. While we all have our favorite teams, there are times when they aren't the ones playing. Our goal is to create a sense of community and camaraderie whenever you see someone wearing In the Stands apparel.
