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.

Dwight Howard = MVP
|
That sucks! First that is way too far from my house. Next to the theme parks? Im guessing they mean Disney. Thats kinda far and whats the point? They should just leave it where it is and just renovate it. Plus, I think there will be a bigger attendance if they stay downtown. Theres a bigger crowd and easier for people to go to. |

oh so since it far for you they shouldnt do it, huh? lol your funny tony. its about funding, cost, and amount of people near it. thats the reasoning behind the arena going to a tourist area. but its true its far fro my house too, that would suck if they moved it from downtown. im only 20 min from the TDW now.

I just dont like the idea of it being in the tourist section. Thats not a good spot for an arena. They should just leave it where it is and renovate it. |

Closer to Disney World? THAT'S WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT! ![]() That would save us a ton of time when I get to go to home games. But I could care less where they put it as long as it gets built and the team stays put. |

This location is closer to Seaworld and Universal then it is to Disney. I would love to see that. It's only about 5-10 minutes farther down I-4 then TD Waterhouse. This is the biggest tourist attraction city so why not take advantage of that. If I were a tourist I'd rather go to a basketball game then some wack a** dinner show. I think the attendance would be the same if not better. The only thing I hate when going to the games now is that I have to wear a bulletproof vest for when I park my car by one of the worst neiborhoods in Orlando and have to walk a 1/4 mile through beggers and thugs just to get to the arena. |

Great news!!! I don't care that it'll make my trip to Magic games a bit father, I'll just leave the house earlier. Whatever it takes to keep the Magic in Orlando, I'm fine with it. |

i went down to orlando last year for a game and i stayed at a hotel right next to universal. if i remember correctly, it took maybe 20 min to get to the arena. so i dont see what the fuss is about. maybe im wrong and it took longer, but how far is downtown from the theme parks? is it really that far of a move? |

With minimal traffic it would take you about 20 mins from Universal to Downtown O-Town. When people hear theme parks they automtically think Disney. It's not near Disney, It's closer to Universal and seaworld. So it's really not that big of deal. I live in Tampa so regardless it's a far drive for me. However, the new location would be closer if they do decide to build it there. The magic need a new building bad. The Waterhouse Centre is mad old. |
