Orlando City SC closes a six-match homestand on Saturday night when it hosts Real Salt Lake at Inter.co Stadium, with College Night built around a 7:30 p.m. ET kickoff. The schedule is already set: gates open at 6:30 p.m. ET, and the match day runs to kickoff with a full slate of pregame stops for fans moving through the stadium.
The game search is landing now because the club has turned one home date into a timed event, from Mane Street Tailgate Parking opening at 3:00 PM to the Starting XI Reveal at 6:40 PM, followed by the Player Procession and National Anthem at 7:32 PM. That makes Saturday less about a single whistle than about a sequence, with fans able to plan their arrival around the exact hour each part begins.
Mane Street Plaza, presented by Publix, opens at 5:00 PM and carries much of the night’s lift, with a photo booth, face painting, poster making, soccer darts, a free kick challenge, tailgate games, food trucks, drinks, partner giveaways and more. The plaza also includes the Heineken Star Bar, the new Jameson cart and the new Publix Video Game Station, while the Merch of the Match is 22% off the Men's Shadow Quarter Zip and the Patch of the Match is the Collegiate patch. The Match Day Poster, designed by Riley Willis, will be available at all retail locations inside Inter.co Stadium.
There is a catch inside the convenience of the guide. Fans can bring small bags no larger than 4.5 inches high and 6.5 inches wide, or use a clear tote up to 14 by 14 by 6 inches if they need a larger carry. Mobile lockers are available across from Gate B on Pine St. for storage, but screens of tickets will not be accepted, which means anyone heading in late or rushing from work needs the actual entry method ready before reaching the gates.
Gate rules split the crowd by ticket type. Fans with West Club or Suite tickets must use Gate D, supporters with Supporter Section tickets must use Supporters Gate and follow Supporter Section Policies, and all other fans must enter through Gates A, B or C. Fireworks, pyrotechnics and lighting effects are set to appear before the match, during the match and at halftime, and sensory bags can be checked out at the Guest Services Booth on the SE Main Concourse across from Section 1. By kickoff, the club will have turned a Saturday night home game into a tightly scheduled event, and the one thing fans should not leave to chance is the ticket on their screen.
