Chivas USA following the 2014 MLS season resulted in Orlando City instead being the league's 20th franchise. Following the completion of City's final season in USL Pro, the team released all but nine players from its roster. The remaining players, who would form the base of the 2015 roster, included Kaká, who was placed on loan with São Paulo FC in his native Brazil following his signing in June 2014. On September 24, 2014, Orlando City manager Adrian Heath and New York City FC manager Jason Kreis took part in a draw to determine who would get top priorities in various selection mechanisms, including the 2014 MLS Expansion Draft and the 2015 MLS SuperDraft. Orlando City won the draw, and Adrian Heath selected the top pick in the Expansion Draft first. He would also choose the top pick in the SuperDraft, top selection priority for USL Pro and NASL players (beyond Orlando City's own USL Pro players, which the team had right of first refusal to), and second-to-last (then #20, now #19) in lottery ranking. Orlando City will be #2 in United States men's national soccer team player allocation ranking, #21 (now #20) in player discovery ranking, #21 (now #20) in re-entry draft ranking, and #2 in designated player ranking.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Orlando City take top picks in 2015 Expansion Draft, MLS SuperDraft; NYCFC atop Allocation Ranking )〕 On October 17, 2014, the team broke ground on their new soccer-specific stadium.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Orlando City's delirious stadium groundbreaking event takes club "another step closer to the dream" )〕 Due to delays in sales tax subsidies from the Florida Legislature, the team decided to assume stadium financing themselves, and committed to pay back the City of Orlando for the land purchased and any other costs already incurred. Orlando City will play the 2015 season, and the beginning of the 2016 season, in the remodeled Orlando Citrus Bowl Stadium. For normal regular-season matches in 2015, Orlando City will open the sidelines and ends of the lower bowl only, except for the corners, along with the luxury suites. For the season opener on March 8 against New York City FC, however, the entire stadium was made available for sale. The team announced that the stadium's entire allotment of permanent seating was sold out on March 2. The team made 2,000 standing room only tickets available on March 4,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=2,000 Standing Room Only Tickets Released for Opening Day )〕 and those sold out within 24 hours.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Anthony DiLorenzo on Twitter )〕 On November 14, 2014, Orlando City was drawn for the seventh pick in the dispersal draft for Chivas USA players, but chose to pass on their pick.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Orlando City SC Receives Seventh Pick in MLS Dispersal Draft )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Goalkeeper Dan Kennedy selected first as MLS holds Chivas USA Dispersal Draft )〕 Manager Adrian Heath signed a contract extension on November 21, 2014 committing him to the club through to the end of the 2017 MLS season.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Orlando City SC Extends Head Coach Adrian Heath’s Contract Through 2017 )〕 Orlando City originally planned to train in late January in Brazil, but eventually cancelled those plans in favor of training in Orlando. They will instead train at Sylvan Lake Park in Sanford. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「2015 Orlando City SC season」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
