NBA Basketball Arena Review
- Amway Center
When attending an Orlando Magic
home game at the Amway Center, visitors immediately feel as though
they're a part of the Orlando Magic family. With knowledgeable fans
and star players that have made the Magic into a perennial playoff
powerhouse, home games have taken on a carnival atmosphere in recent
years. Interstate 4 is the main highway that takes you to the
Amway Center exit, and there are plenty of road signs along the way
that can ultimately point you in the right direction. While it's not
difficult to find, since the Amway Center is in the heart of the
Orlando area, be sure you have a general familiarity with the city
before heading in.
While in
town to watch the Orlando Magic, make sure that you try to acquire
pre-paid parking puts you right next to the building. If you prefer
not to pay for parking before attending the game, there are plenty
of parking lots in downtown Orlando that provide easy access to the
building.
Once inside the Amway Center, the real gameday fun begins. The
actual bowl of the Amway Center provides an astounding view of the
court below, and ticket holders in attendance are able to watch the
action up close and personal as it happens. A large video board that
hangs over the court provides vivid replays of the action down on
the court and offers an in-depth look at the inner workings of the
organization. Beyond all of the sights and sounds that come standard
with an Orlando Magic game, you also get to share in the excitement
of the Orlando Magic fans that truly enjoy the game of basketball.
At some point during
the game, hunger will most assuredly set in. This is when it's time
to visit one of the many concession stands that are located
throughout the concourse surrounding the bowl of the arena. For fans
that are looking for a more relaxed, sit-down type of atmosphere, a
visit to either Jernigan's or O3 Bar might be in order.
Reservations are required, and fans will be asked to show a ticket
stub for the evening's contest before entering. Jernigan's is
an up-scale spot and the prices on the menu reflect the affluent
nature of the clientele that frequent the place. The food is
good, but the atmosphere a bit sterile for NBA die hards. The
O3 Bar is more typical of a traditional pub experience that comes
complete with a wet bar and great menu items.
Outside the arena,
there are several local bars and restaurants that cater to the
basketball fan who is looking for a good meal at a reasonable price.
Spectators Sportsbar is perfect
for those that want to keep up on other NBA games while enjoying
some of the best traditional bar food in America. Spectators
provides the perfect opportunity to get a pre- or post-game meal
while not breaking the bank in the process. Another spectacular
eating experience can be had at District
Five. Whereas Spectators features a more up-beat type of
restaurant atmosphere, District Five is a little more low key in
what it offers to patrons. This does not mean, however, that there
food is any less tempting. In fact, District Five has won many local
awards for the food that it serves on a nightly basis.
Roxy Orlando is one of those trendy
nightclubs in the city of Orlando that offers everything from
dancing to drinking and anything else in between. With a plethora of
different theme nights, Roxy Orlando is the quintessential dance
club in this area of Florida. Depending on which night you choose to
attend, Roxy Orlando plays different styles of music that can appeal
to most any audience member. There is certainly a good time for
everyone to be had at Roxy Orlando. After an exciting Orlando Magic
home game at Amway Arena, make sure that Antigua is another club
that is also on the list for nightly excitement. With a beautiful
tropical theme and plenty of drink specials, Antigua provides that
touch of class to the nightlife offerings that it makes available..
Universal Studios is just one
option when looking for various points of interest that will
intrigue a person of any age. This movie-based theme park makes it
easy for people to enjoy an entire day of attractions and excitement
before they head off to the Orlando Magic game. Covering 840 acres,
Universal Studios has plenty of room for everyone to be able to
enjoy the warm Florida air. If there is one place in Orlando that
attracts a very diverse group of people while creating special
memories at the same time, it is Walt Disney World. Many people have
passed through the gates of Disney World over the years, and it has
become a national representation of fun and excitement. Be sure that
Disney World is a part of any travel plans to the Orlando area.
The Amway Center
is the newest sports arena in the National Basketball Association,
and it is also proving to be one of the most special experiences for
people looking to have a great time with other individuals who enjoy
taking in an Orlando Magic game. As the arena and the Magic fan base
continue to grow, so will the success of the organization, and that
can be directly attributed to the quality of the Orlando Magic
organization.

1st
experience/nose bleeder seats
Bringing my 17yrold son to a Magic game during his home pass from
Military school was a REAL experience. The nose bleeder seats were sooo
high that the TV camera couldn't shoot high enough for us or anyone else
at our level to participate in the fun. The T-shirt gun needed to be
SUPER charged to reach anyone in our level. Once again leaving us out of
any of the FUN. Looks to me there needs to be some improvement for the
nose bleeders sections. Thank GOD for the HUGE TV screen. That kept us
well informed of the activities going on in the arena.
Sincerely The NOSE BLEEDERS |
