Orlando's soccer stadium, on the west side of downtown about 22 miles from Lake Nona, home of Orlando City SC and the Orlando Pride.
Inter&Co Stadium is a soccer-specific stadium in Orlando's Parramore neighborhood, about 22 driving miles from Lake Nona Town Center. It opened in 2017 and was previously called Orlando City Stadium and then Exploria Stadium. It is home to Orlando City SC of Major League Soccer and the Orlando Pride of the National Women's Soccer League. It seats about 25,500 and includes The Wall, a safe-standing supporters' section. It is a few blocks west of the Kia Center.
Orlando City and Orlando Pride matches are some of the liveliest nights out in Orlando, and Inter&Co Stadium was built for them: steep stands close to the field, a standing supporters' end and a downtown location. Lake Nona is full of families whose children play youth soccer, and a match is an easy way to see the professional game.
This guide is written for people weighing a move to Lake Nona. It covers how far the stadium is, what a match is like and how to get there and park.
How far is Inter&Co Stadium from Lake Nona?
Inter&Co Stadium is about 22 driving miles from Lake Nona Town Center, on the west side of downtown Orlando.

What is a match at Inter&Co Stadium like?
Loud and close to the action: the stands are steep and near the field, and the supporters' groups sing and chant for the whole match.
The Wall, at the stadium's south end, is a safe-standing section for the most vocal supporters, and it is the heart of the atmosphere. Families often prefer seats along the sides, where the view is good and the noise is a little lower. The stadium also holds 49 rainbow-colored seats in Section 12, a memorial to the victims of the 2016 Pulse nightclub shooting.
When do Orlando City and the Orlando Pride play?
Both teams play home matches from late winter or early spring into the fall, with playoff matches after the regular season.
Many matches are on weekend evenings, which suits families. Season tickets and multi-match packages are available for both teams. Check each club's schedule when planning, as kickoff times change for televised matches.
How does parking work at Inter&Co Stadium?
Parking is in downtown garages and lots around the stadium, and pre-paid match parking is usually the easiest option.
Many fans park a few blocks away and walk, and the Church Street area between the stadium and the Kia Center has restaurants and bars that fill up before matches. SunRail's Church Street station is nearby, but SunRail generally runs on weekdays only and does not run regular weekend service, so it rarely suits a weekend match. Check the clubs' match-day guides for current parking options.
Is an Orlando City or Orlando Pride match good for young soccer players?
Yes. For children who play youth soccer, seeing professional men's and women's teams play is a great outing, and Pride matches in particular are popular with young fans.
For youth soccer and other sports closer to home, see our Nona Sports hub and our Lake Nona Youth Sports guide.
How does Inter&Co Stadium fit alongside Lake Nona's other nearby venues?
Inter&Co Stadium is one of three major sports venues on the west side of downtown, with the Kia Center a few blocks east and Camping World Stadium a short drive west.
