Adding the Excitement of Sports to Your Next Orlando Vacation:

Orlando Magic (NBA )

The Magic was named as such after the Heat, Tropics, and Juice had been ruled out. Team management wanted their new franchise name to capture the essence of the city. And Magic it was and is! The luxury experience offered by the Magic is second to none. Amway Arena offers the Fan Duel Suite renovated by DIY Network’s Man Caves, the IOA Hardwood Suites, the Silver Suites, the All-Star Deck, and the Fan Duel Suites that all make your NBA experience comfortable, luxurious, and exciting.

Orlando Predators (Arena Football League)

If you have never seen the “50-Yard Indoor War” in person, you are missing one of the most intense, live sports experiences in the country. The Arena League, like minor league baseball, has done an outstanding job making its events family-friendly and interactive for all involved. The AFL runs a 17-game indoor schedule that extends from April to early August. Whether it’s the balmy heat of July or the rainy season in April, the climate is always perfect at an indoor AFL game.

College Sports

Orlando hosts one of the largest universities in America in the University of Central Florida. Its sports teams, the Knights, are competitive in almost every major college sport and have recently been ranked as a top ten college football program. Within two hours, you can see SEC football in Gainesville as the Florida Gators play a full SEC schedule at “The Swamp.”

Orlando is host to a wide variety of other professional sports such as the Orlando City (soccer), Orlando Solar Bears (Hockey, ECHL), and the Orlando Titans (Lacrosse).

Some venture to Florida to seek “fun in the sun,” some come because Orlando, Florida is one of America’s fastest-growing entrepreneurial business centers in the country. But if the sports fan inside of you never leaves and you love live events, Orlando is ready for you.
