Orlando City SC unveiled 49 rainbow-colored seats in its brand new stadium on History ArchivesWednesday to honor victims of the Pulse nightclub shooting.
The 49 seats pay tribute to the 49 victims who died when a gunman opened fire at a gay nightclub in Orlando, the deadliest mass shooting in United States history. Section 12 — where the rainbow seats are located — correspond to June 12, the date of the shooting.
Season-ticket holders will sit in Section 12, according to club founder Phil Rawlins, per ESPN.
