We had a long, enjoyable run, and I would like to thank every Orlando Magic fan who contributed to our small community on the web. This message board will be left online as an archive into the thoughts and minds of a group of Magic fanatics who lived through a 21-win season, the drafting of Dwight Howard, and an eventual NBA Finals appearance. You can also visit the original MagicMadness Forum at http://orlandomagic.proboards.com.
Special thanks to our Staff Members: Black and Blue, MAGICMANEVAN, and NYCMagicFan!

http://www.orlandosentinel.com/sports/bask...magic&track=rss This is not good news at all. I just wish there were more fans out there like us who frequent this message board and love the Magic through thick and thin. I've tried thinking of what life would be like without the Magic, and I honestly don't know how I'd take it, because they are my favorite sports franchise, and I have so many great memories growing up of following the team and going to home games. I so wish I could win the Florida lottery. Because if I did, I'd use the money to make sure the Magic stayed in Orlando.

Well this article came out of nowhere for me. I thought things were going better. If the Magic leave Orlando, I'm done. I'll just find another team I guess. I don't even want to think about it right now. |

f**k!!!! man they can't leave...thats bulls**t. Man f**k the hotels and these dumbass uninformed hicks who don't know the fact that tourist tax can't be used on education, or on making I-4 bigger, or whatever their issue is, but they don't f**king b**ch whenever the s**tty ass peabody (well its not really s**tty its actually really nice) wants that same 300 mill to build a whole new building!!! wtf, we have countless #"s of high class hotels out here who made that s**t with thier own money yet the peabody has to go after the tourist tax to try to get a new building, not that we need it anyways. man f**k just give the tax to the magic for gods sake, the arena blows and the city knows it, if it wasn't for all these uninformed assholes we would probably have an nfl team in orlando too right now...f**k YOU PEABODY AND IGNORANT ASSHOLES!!!!!!!!!!!!! |

(I typed this at another board): The thing I don't understand is that the Magic are not the only "attraction" at the TD Waterhouse Centre. A new arena would help us compete with areas like Tampa and Jacksonville for higher profile music acts and other forms of entertainment. I mean, if attendance is sagging due to the arena being "old", wouldn't that kind of mean attendance is sagging for other events i.e. - concerts, wrestling, ice shows, etc. Politicians, Magic officials, whoever - please emphasize the importance of a new arena for all types of community entertainment, not just the Magic. |

That is true MagicMadness cause none of the high profile music groups/artists that come to tour in Orlando ever play at TD Waterhouse cause they know it sucks, most of them either go to The House of Blues or the Hard Rock Live. If we had an up to date state of the art facility then most of them would probably rather play at the arena instead. But I dunno, there are way too many uninformed people out here, not to mention the Sentinel doesn't help cause Bianchi is like the only guy pro arena while we have idiots like Mike Thomas who don't even know what the tourist tax is spreading propoganda to falsely sway the uninformed citizens of O town. Sigh well I wouldn't be surprised is the city decides to be assholes and deny the magic, I mean this is the same council that shot down upgrading the s**tty ass citrus bowl to elevate the capital own bowl to a bcs game which would have brought in TONS of revenue and upwards to 300 million dollars on a year they host the nat'l championship game. But of course they had to drop the ball. |

Yeah, the politicians of Orlando and the Central Florida area are really pissing me off when it comes to their sports decisions. They want our area to be a metropolis on the level of cities like Atlanta, New York City, and Chicago, but they won't pay the money for big-time arenas and stadiums. Virtually every big-time city in America has at least one (if not more) professional sports team. |

i dont live in orlando (jacksonville) but i still dont want them to leave because it just wouldnt be the same although i would continue to be a fan. Im sure the big houston oiler fans continued to be titan fans. But i really just hope the magic can put together a great team in order to win over the city and get the support it needs. times running out though |

I love the magic and would hate to see them leave...Also on PTI today they said "Happy Trails" to orlando magic, and said reports say team may relocate because of frustration...This better not happen |

I know one thing: No Orlando = No Magic for me. Get it done City of Orlando! The city would be nothing on a national scale without the Magic and there would be nothing there anymore. So whoever lives down there, please do the rest of the Magic Nation a favor and make sure when the next election comes around to vote someone in office that has the Magic has a high priority. Hopefully we will still be around by then. |

This isn't the first time that PTI has had the Magic on the happy trails. So take that for what it's worth. I'm a little mad at Wilbon right now anyways. He said that the Tennessee Vols color was "yellow". It's ORANGE you moron. We take our college football serious around these parts and to not know our school color burns me up.

we did elect a mayor who is pro-magic, however he will probably get fired for rigging the election. Thats why we have to call city hall as much as possible to have our voice heard!!!! |
