“Thank you Orlando City Soccer Club for this amazing, heartfelt, lasting memorial to our brothers & sisters of the LGBTI community!” said one Facebook user in the comments, with an accompanying rainbow flag emoji.

Departing President Phil Rawlins tweeted about the seats near the end of last November while they were being installed in the stadium.

“@OrlandoCitySC @ORLPride so happy to see our @pulseorlando tribute seats being installed #DefyExpectations,” he wrote on Twitter.

Stadium construction is set to finish by early March, gearing up for the team’s match against the New York City FC.
