About this Arena:

Opened in 2010, this arena was built to replace an older arena and is three times as large than its predecessor. The new arena cost $480 million dollars to build.

The most notable exterior feature is the 180-foot tower with an illuminated spire. The top of the tower features a sky lounge “Tower Bar” where you can see panoramic views of Downtown Orlando.

This arena houses the NBA’s tallest high definition scoreboard. If you want to get a message on the board, you can purchase them on the Orlando Magic App.

When you are in the bowl if you look up, you will notice hundreds of glowing spheres hang from the ceiling; they change colors to match team themes or event moods.

Notable Things To Do:

The main concourse (near section 115-116) has a Fan Experience called “Pure Magic” with historical memorability that pays homage to notable Magic Players from the past.

If you are going with smaller kids, there is a play area in the upper concourse called “Stuff’s Magic Castle” with slides, rope-bridges, small basketball hoops & play areas. Also, children shorter than 36 inches are admitted into the arena free of charge and must sit on an adult’s lap.
