crazy it was in Orlando of all places
I don’t know if it’s me but I’ve been to three VooDoo games there and Disney twice and it’s such a contrast from shitty NOLA. The new arena is better, the airport is better, the streets are better, downtown is better

What fricking planet are the living on? Am way is the shite. Awesome arena

Now the old Orlando arena was a dump BUT was an amazing and loud venue to watch a game because the stands were literally on the court.

I actually like the old Orena better, that place used to get loud. The new one is really nice but too sterile and spread out.

I remember going to the Citrus Bowl when Georgia played Nebraska and thinking I might get stabbed walking from where we parked to the stadium.



Well, yeah, Orange Blossom Trail isn't the best part of town but I ain't all of Orlando.

You're going to have stop and go at most of the beaches in major cities in Florida.

As for the OP, it's a smaller market. Outside of San Antonio smaller markets have struggled.

Sports in Orlando have a severe demographics problem.

1. They have one of the highest female to male ratios in the US.

2. They have a huge international population.

3. They have a large Alphabet population.

4. They have a high transient population.

5. They are lower on their city’s entertainment dollars totem pole than most cities.

They have to deal with these issues before you even consider the basketball side of things.

Orlando is an odd franchise to call out for failure. They’re really not that bad historically.

Why would you take a north-south Interstate to go directly east?

NBA small markets have no chance in current system. That's why there are so many white trash Lakers fans.

Is Pat Williams still the GM?

I remember during the 1993 NBA Draft where he brought a cardboard cutout of Penny Hardaway and everyone in the arena (including me and my parents) booed the shite out of him.
