In fact, welcome back to all of you raucous, rowdy, wacky, wonderful, bawdy, beautiful, hugging, beer-chugging, Orlando City fans.
For the first time since the onset of the pandemic, the City Beautiful welcomed a full-capacity crowd to a sporting event Tuesday night when the championship-contending Orlando City Lions took on the San Jose Quakes.
Of course, what would a summertime sporting event be in Florida without the traditional afternoon thunderstorm trying to put a damper on this festive occasion. Sorry, Mother Nature, after all these pandemic-pillaged months, a little rain delay wasn’t going to ruin our coming-out party although it did significantly thin out the crowd.
