September 30, 200620 yr Im glad one of my teams finally got a stadium. Great timing for the Magic as the season is about to start. Should keep em in town for a long while. http://www.orlandosentinel.com/sports/bask...?coll=orl-magic Possible design:

September 30, 200620 yr Author I don't see how they will come up for the almost one billion dollars between all three projects. The projects were made possible by a recently approved penny-on-the-dollar increase in Orange County's hotel bed tax. The Magic arena will run $480 million -- with the team on the hook for overruns and some $200 million in costs -- while the new performing arts center will cost $389 million. http://cbs.sportsline.com/nba/story/9694312
September 30, 200620 yr Very awesome. Now we just need the state to give the Marlins some money. I can't wait to go see the Magic play in that thing. It'll be nice seeing the Twin Towers dominate in that building.
October 1, 200620 yr Before reading the article, where is the location going to be? The downtown Orlando area is already too packed, IMO.

They considered I-drive because it is less expensive but that seems to have just driven them to get downtown to work. Hopefully they figure out a way to make it work now.
