Exploria Stadium kicks off with new 'Orlando Made' concessions, partnering with local food companies

This weekend Orlando City SC kick off a new season in the MLS against New York RB at Exploria Stadium, and fans are going to have a great choice of new food offerings to look forward to.

Downtown's Exploria Stadium, home to Orlando City SC and Orlando Pride, has announced five new permanent additions to its concession offerings heading into their 2023 season.

Housed on Church Street, the 25,500-seat purpose built venue will now feature local favorites along its concourse for fans to enjoy options that are proudly “Orlando Made".

Well known names including: 4 Rivers Smokehouse, The COOP by 4Rivers, Teak Neighborhood Grill, Black Rooster Taqueria and Harrell’s Hot Dogs + Cold Cones will all be serving up quality, local cuisine to hungry fans.

Plus, in addition, the concourse will also include a rotating vendor cart, which will welcome game-by-game options such as Mexican-inspired Cholo Dogs, Sus Hi Eatstation and more to be announced!

“Last season we spent an extensive amount of time listening to our Season Ticket Members and fans. One of the areas they asked us to really focus on and lean into was having more local, authentic Orlando food options. We live in an exciting culinary destination and there is not a shortage of great local options. As a Club, it is important to us to represent the community that we call home, something we hope our fans feel when experiencing a match day at Exploria Stadium,” Orlando City SC and Orlando Pride President of Business Operations Jarrod Dillon said. “We’re thrilled to welcome this group of local businesses into our home here at Exploria Stadium. We thank each of them for trusting in us and we couldn't be more excited to have everyone enjoy a taste of Orlando. I’d like to also thank and acknowledge the key role our partners at Oak View Group Hospitality played in creating this exciting program."
