So, what do you think of the name Amway Center?

That's what the Orlando Events Center will be called, Orlando Sentinel business columnist Beth Kassab has confirmed.

Sports Business Journal first reported the news. The publication says the naming rights deal is valued at $40 million over 10 years.

Magic Owner Rich DeVos is a co-founder of Amway Corp.

The formal announcement will be made Wednesday morning at a press event adjacent to the construction site. The Magic are scheduled to move into the new arena in time for the 2010-11 season.

Not much difference from before, except it sounds more like a new updated facility with the name "Center" in it. 8-)

Sounds fine to me. I like Center better than Arena.

The best name, period, would be Orlando Events Center. But, in this age, that is only a dream.

Amway Center is just fine.

Matthews raved that people driving on I-4 might see ads for Amway products because a giant electronic media wall will be affixed to the building's exterior facade. Over 1,000 electronic screens inside the building will carry ads that can be tailored to specific audiences. Also, there will areas within the facility — areas Matthews called "experience centers" — where people can test Amway products.


Haha.
