Orlando's Amway Center to open in October - Orlando Magic to play first game on October 10

The Amway Center will be Home to the Orlando Magic and a welcome addition to the surrounding neighborhood and an iconic destination to Central Florida and beyond.  The Amway Center features a modern mix of metal and glass exterior materials and the spire serves as a beacon amid Orlando's vibrant downtown.

With an ultimate capacity of more than 20,000 seats, the arena was designed to respond to its distinct urban setting while revealing the activities occurring within.  The Amway Centers primary entrance faces north to Church Street and features a large public entry plaza connecting to the Amway Center's spacious entry lobby.

Technologically, Amway Center will be one of the most advanced ever built, highlighted by the main scoreboard - the largest of its kind in the NBA.  Measuring approximately 42 feet high and weighing in at more than 40 tons, its four primary video displays will be able to show high definition imagery in 4.4 trillion shades of color.  Altogether, it's unlike any arena ever built.  It's a world-class experience unlike anything Central Florida has ever seen.
