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!

I thought this was only relegated to New York. That picture doesn't really help at all in determining the damage. The good news is that the construction was well ahead of schedule (though they were preparing for hurricanes, not their own equipment failing). |

The skeleton of the arena is supposed to be done within 2-3 months. Partly due in part to hurricane season coming, but it's 90% because this same construction crew is heading down south to work on starting the new Florida Marlins baseball stadium. Still don't know how bad the damage is. |

I went to the OrlandoEventsCenter website where you can look at the progress on the new arena, and from the images there, the damage was minimal, except to the crane!
