Needs to be archived for eternity cause this is part of the reason we got a new arena.

[Mr.Dwight Howard]

I can't wait to hear Dwight when we win our first ring, talking about how much he loves Orlando and the fans. I love this team

[AddiFB]

Oh man.. I've been with this team so long, I remember about 97% of these clips, old or new... and more and more it's hitting me: I never saw them in the O-Rena! NO ****IT UGH!

 

It feels like we're leaving so many memories behind and starting with a clean slate. Just imagine, some of us (like me, and most definately many of you) are feeling quite sad over this (but happy for a new building at the same time)... but imagine how Bostonians felt when the Boston Garden was replaced by the current one. Oh, ALOT of golden memories there being left behind, but not forgotten.

 

It just feels sad and every time I see some clips from Classic Magic moments, I get a weird feeling in my head, my heart and my throat goes achy...

 

But hey... Since they guy put in VC's 48 point game, his Cavs dunk and 360 (a VC fan?), I think he missed out a more important BIG game than VC's 48. Dwight's 45 in the ECF series clincher against the Cavs was a WAY bigger moment.

 

Thanks for the memories, O-Rena. You have been replaced, but never forgotten in the hearts of Magic fans.

[Capo d'Orlando]

Pretty great tribute, amazing memories. It's great that the first and last games at O-Rena/TD Waterhouse Center/Amway Arena were wins.

 

Time to raise a championship banner in the new house though.

[i HATE Rich DeVos]

[masazasm1]

thank you O-reana

 

peace out

[gporter]

Bring on the Amway Center!!!!

[Diplo]

really nice video

[Chase]

This is very bitter-sweet.

[Nell2ThaIzzay]

Great video, thank you for posting this.

 

I spent my entire life wanting to get to the O-Rena, and I finally did. And it's really surreal that I made it for the final game to be played there.

 

I've always loved the O-Rena, and my life is better for having been there. I really will miss the O-Rena.

The fact that it was small made for great seats no where you sat, wasn't a bad seat in the house.
