If you're curious about what food the new Orlando City Soccer (Website) stadium will be serving when it opens, we're one step closer to finding out.
We found out today that the contract for Food Services & Hospitality services went to Spectra (Website), a venue management company with its food services and hospitality offices located in Lutz, Florida.
Spectra is the same company that provides Venue Management for CFE Arena. They have over 300 clients at more than 400 global properties.
"We offer full-service management of food services and hospitality programs, including day-to-day management of staffing, training, purchasing, alcohol service, marketing, branding, customer service, and financial systems. Our Everything’s Fresh™ philosophy delivers exciting guest experiences and maximum revenue with fresh local menus, relevant brands, engaging customer service, impactful marketing and powerful analytics. We manage the food services and hospitality programs at more than 140 different and unique venues throughout North America, which equips our team with the experience to deliver cutting edge solutions."
As part of the deal, the company can also provide Ticketing & Fan Engagement.
We asked them to share with us the concepts, but they said they're "still in the process of planning the concepts, the menus, and other details relating to those specifics."
What we do know is vague. The new stadium will have completely customized food and beverage concepts "reflecting the flavors of Florida" with a "strong Latin American influence."

We do know Spectra has a generous side:
- They will be working with local food banks to ensure that there is no food waste at the stadium.
- They will work with the Orlando City Foundation to create a jobs program for Parramore.
