Exploria Stadium will trade out its typical purple for pink this week as the stadium prepares to host its first college football game — the Cure Bowl set to kick off on Saturday.
The venue has been shifted from a soccer pitch to a football field for the first time in Orlando City history. Groundskeeper Billy Hoffer and his crew will spend the week finalizing the paint in the end zone, midfield and along the sidelines for the bowl game.

The bowl was previously played at Camping world Stadium before moving to Orlando City’s home stadium this year.
The Cure Bowl provides support to the Breast Cancer Research fund and will use its presence throughout the week to raise awareness and funds for breast cancer research. During the past four years, the bowl game has raised $3.7 million for the cause. This year’s game will feature Georgia Southern and Liberty University.
