You're Fat, Pat! 98 Report post Posted April 13, 2010 HELLO PEOPLE. Wednesday's game vs. Philly is the FINAL regular season game in the Amway Arena/TD Waterhouse Centre/Orlando Arena. I don't know about you, but this is significant. I just think about all the regular season games that I attended over the past 2+ decades and I admittedly get some mushy-gushy feelings inside. Here's a Yahoo! article about it: quote: After 21 seasons as the only home the Orlando Magic have ever known, Amway Arena Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

i HATE Rich DeVos 1 Report post Posted April 13, 2010 Every game that my grandfather took me to was special to me but the game he took me to on 12-30-1990 was the most memorable Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Skywise316 211 Report post Posted April 14, 2010 Amway Arena's finest moment overall is clearly Magic Johnson's farewell/MVP All Star Game performance. As far as regular season.. there's a bunch. T-Mac going for 62, Darrell's miracle layup... My two personal favorites in the regular season must be a. Dennis Scott setting the NBA 3-point record (single game), and b. Nick Anderson leading the Penny-less Magic over the Lakers in Shaq's first return back to Orlando since he left. I taped both and watched them endlessly over the years. Not to mention the one otherwise meaningless game I saw in person last season against the Bulls.. glad I was able to go once before the building is done.

AddiFB 429 Report post Posted April 14, 2010 I am very excited about the new home... but there is much more sadness in me over the fact that I never got the chance to see them play in the old O-Rena Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
God hates Magic fans 0 Report post Posted April 14, 2010 well we still have atleast two more i love these older arenas where the fans are right on top of you, it provides a true homecourt advantage Nick Andersons steal and MJ's biggest chokejob http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RH4ro1YdSio Dwight howards 1 handed alley oop against boston Who can forget this amazing game winner? Dwights 40/14 in the ECF vs the cavs, one of the best performances in a clincher by a big of the decade Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bravlady 0 Report post Posted April 14, 2010 I've read where some of you don't particularly care for the Amway but I've been there several times and I really like it. It's a whole lot better than some of the other venues I've been to that are real dumps. Sometimes bigger is not always better. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Marc Acres 3:16 418 Report post Posted April 14, 2010 I'll be there, it was the one game that I had to have tickets for. It's weird seeing part of my childhood go away. I remember my first game, it was against Golden State, Manute Bol blocked about 10 shots and we dug out of a 20 pt hole to win it. I remember Bobby Jackson trying to climb up into the stands to fight everyone in my section when someone dropped a beer on him...he was the original Ron Artest, just not as quick. The games were always great to see live but it was goofy stuff like that that made it for me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
