Overview

Amway Center is an indoor arena located in Downtown Orlando. The arena is home to the Orlando Magic of the NBA, the Orlando Solar Bears of the ECHL, the Orlando Predators of the National Arena League, and hosted the 2012 NBA All-Star Game and the 2015 ECHL All-Star Game. Prior to Downtown Master Plan 3, the Orlando Magic's ownership, led by billionaire Amway founder Richard DeVos and son-in-law Bob Vander Weide, had been pressing the City of Orlando for a new arena for nearly ten years. The result was the new Amway Center. The arena itself cost around $380 million, with an additional $100 million for land and infrastructure, for a total cost of $480 million.
