This event will feature self-guided tours, entertainment and local performances, free popcorn and soda and commemorative items to celebrate this historic accomplishment. Representatives from the Orlando Magic and Orlando Predators will also be on-hand.

Orlando Magic's new Amway Center arena aims to wow fans with high-tech

When the Orlando Arena opened in 1989, few people had heard of the newfangled Internet, and mobile phones were the size of bricks.

Beautiful sunset over the arena -- this all lit up will be very urbane.

You have to get tickets from Ticketmaster. I bet this is a way for them to test things out like their ticket scanners.

That is a nice picture of the Amway Center, the colors look like something in Miami.

This is a building that is actually turning out to look like it's rendering, which I personally think it a great thing.

[jgardnerucf]

HECK YES!!!!

Someone seriously walk over there and tell them to change that light bulb before tonight... ADD is kickin'.

Can I assume that they are going to cut back that embankment underneath I-4 so that the sidewalk will be much wider?

Yes, you can see the metal piers that are now installed in the photo to cut back the incline. I don't know why they waited until the last minute to work on cleaning that area up.

No chance for an Oct 1st completion of that underpass, unless they work through the night.

I heard that they're working around the clock at this point to get it done.

Quoted from castorvx: Well they fixed the light but now the spire is off.

Great new pic! Thanks, especially with the police car on I4! Been down to the Amway Experience Center on the 2nd floor of The Exchange yet? So super great to see all the store fronts inside again. And cleaned up for that matter! Brings back the old days walking around in there.
