Orlando Amway Center
Amway Center is an indoor multi-purpose arena located in Orlando, Florida. It opened in 2010 and is part of the Downtown Orlando Master Plan 3 - An infrastructural plan which includes the completion of the Dr. Phillips Center for the Performing Arts and the improvements to the Camping World Stadium. Amway Center was designed by an architectural and design company Populous (formerly HOK Sport Venue Event) and is owned by the City of Orlando and operated by Orlando Venues. The arena is home to Orlando Magic of NBA, Orlando Solar Bears of ECHL and Orlando Predators of NAL. It was also the former home to Orlando Predators of AFL until their suspension from the league in 2016. The arena's maximum capacity is 20,000.
Prior to completing plans to build the arena as part of the Master Plan 3, the owners of Orlando Magic had been pressing the City of Orlando for a new arena for almost ten years as Amway Center's predecessor, Amway Arena (built in 1989 and demolished in 2011) quickly became one of the oldest arenas in the NBA league. In 2006, Orlando and Orange County mayors, together with Orlando Magic, announced an agreement on the new arena. Amway Center broke ground in 2008.
The arena hosted several NBA, ECHL and NAL games. It's also one of the main concert venues in Orlando, with musical acts such as The Eagles, Elton John, Rod Stewart, The Black Keys, Twenty One Pilots, Linkin Park, Ariana Grande, Lana Del Rey, The Johann Strauss Orchestra, The Who, Nine Inch Nails and Ed Sheeran all making appearances in the venue. In 2019, Donald Trump held a campaign rally at the arena, officially announcing his re-election campaign for the 2020 Presidential Election.
