Having their own football stadium has been a dream of OCP’s that dates back several years, to the start of our football program in 2010, followed by getting our own football field a few years after that, and finally getting our own lights. Getting new seating was the next step. In the spring of 2018, Orlando Christian Prep completed this new football stadium, thanks to the work of our athletic boosters and several donors, the largest of which was the Janney Roofing Company, owned by OCP alumni, Derek Janney. It was a long process from dream to completion, but it was well deserved for OCP athletics.
The build itself took approximately three weeks, and went very smoothly with next to no hiccups. May 22, 2018, for a spring exhibition game, was the first time “Janney Roofing Stadium” got put to use, which is to say packed out… there was not one seat left! The first fall season varsity football game in Janney Stadium was held on August 19, which also served as the official ribbon cutting ceremony for the complex.
This upcoming Friday, September 28, is the first homecoming game for Janney Stadium. It’s no more “bring your own chairs” for OCP… instead, football and soccer games can be watched from our beautiful new bleachers! At the game’s halftime, the homecoming king and queen will be announced, so it’s an event you don’t want to miss. Show up in your blue and gold to support your OCP Warriors!
