the tower is all hi def, 6mm pixel displays that dwarf the old screens. they had lowered the display for the grand opening ceremony. about halfway through the media tour, they raised the the massive array. one half billion spent, 2500 workers employed, and a new stop for the light rail project.

the roof has cisterns to collect all the water used in the center. the floors are all terrazzo. there's enough original artwork to fill a public gallery. the food offered us was extraordinary. it's quite the venue to visit at least once. you can even park the kids in an indoor playground while you watch the game.

Amway Center: Enter Legend
Amway Center Facts, Numbers and More



September 24, 2010


From a vision to blueprints to reality.

The Orlando Magic served as the developer of the new downtown Amway Center which will compete to host major national events, concerts and family shows. The facility is owned andoperated by the City of Orlando on behalf of theCentral Florida community.

The Amway Center was designed to reflect the character of the community, meet the goals of the users and build on the legacy of sports and entertainment in Orlando.

The building?s exterior features a modern blend of glass and metal materials, along with ever-changing graphics via a monumental wall along one fa?ade. A 180-foot tall tower and spire serves as a beacon amid the downtown skyline.

I notice the fans have gotten fatter based on the larger seating options.

How many packages of soap do I need to purchase to get a founders seat?

Wouldn't it be more appropriate if the center were in the shape of a pyramid?

We're going to a UL men's basketball scrimmage today that is in the new Yum! Center in downtown Louisville. There have been tours prior to opening then last Saturday we went to the Eagles concert. Hometown guys, My Morning Jacket, play this Friday. The Amway and Yum are very similar. Don't have the sky bar but three levels looking out toward the Ohio River have long balconies.
