Orlando City SC have installed 49 rainbow seats in their soccer stadium as a permanent feature to honour the 49 people who died in the attack on Pulse, a gay nightclub in June 2016. Each seat honours one of the people who died in the tragic event. Each seat has a stamp reading #OrlandoUnited.
The team's founder, Phil Rawlins said about the seats, "They'll certainly be seen by everybody in the stadium, and a very significant reminder of that day.".
