Tweet this quoteSo here, some things that´ll help you decide to attend an Orlando Magic game when you visit Orlando.
- Since the Magic are not in championship discussions lately, the team is also focusing on delivering entertainment value to the fans, so the attendance do not drop. If you are a tourist this can only mean good news: Focus on Entertainment Value!
- Most nights at the Amway Center will be themed, and that means decor, jerseys, music, half time numbers and most everything targeted to honor us Latinos.
- Being Orlando what it is, filled with entertainers, the sheer level of Halftime shows pays the ticket in itself.
- There are lots of chances to see celebrities being courtside. Of course, not like in Los Angeles or New York, but you will see some.
- Amway Center is also a nice dining destination, as there are full on restaurants in there that you can dine in if you don´t want to simply grab a hot dog or Wings. Being a dowtown stadium, you will also have tons of dining options in a 3 block radius.
- Touring Amway Center is also fun, not only because of the merchandising spots or the Orlando Magic exhibition, but because there´s also an art exhibition, and an exhibition with photos and stuff from the artists who performed there.
- When the game finishes, there´s an extra show that you can stay and enjoy some live music. The Noche Latina we were in the game, the show was José Alberto “El Canario” y su Orquesta performing all Latino classic hits.
All in all, for a ticket that starts in most games at 30 bucks, you will get 5 or maybe 6 hours of pure first class entertainment. Not bad, huh?
