The win for Minnesota United last season gave Coach Adrian Heath a measure of revenge after being sacked by Orlando City halfway through the 2016 campaign. This match will mark the first time Coach Heath gets a chance to manage an MLS match from the sidelines at the new Orlando City Stadium.
"The Wall" created an amazing tifo last week to honor Joseph Campo, who stood atop the Capo stand as Purple Deadpool before his tragic death in a traffic accident during the off-season.
