So to anyone who might ever attend a game at the future home of Orlando City, get in touch with the club and share your thoughts.
Maybe it's the Members Club concept from Sporting Park, perhaps the steep stands of the San Jose Earthquakes' soon-to-be-completed stadium or any other small detail of an MLS stadium you've seen on TV or visited in person.
Whatever it is, tell them, because in a roundabout way, it's your stadium. Therefore, it's your opinion that they want.
