AMWAY ARENA

The Amway Arena, home to the NBA’s Orlando Magic and the Arena Football’s Orlando Predators, was designed to comfortably seat everything from 17,000 screaming NBA All-Star Game fans, to a few thousand jazz aficionados. First and second level seating combined with a state-of-the-art retractable stage curtain, allows the Amway Arena maximum flexibility for a diverse range of concerts and events.
Originally known as the Orlando Arena, the Amway Arena had its grand opening in January of 1989 when it presented an inaugural performance by legendary comedian Bill Cosby. Since its opening, the arena has played host to scores of iconic entertainers like Jimmy Buffett, Elton John, Billy Joel, Cher, Neil Diamond, Bruce Springsteen, Aerosmith and a host of other legendary performers.

The Amway Arena serves as a perfect venue for many events, and live concerts are only one of them. Family-friendly shows like Disney on Ice, Ringling Bros. and Barnum and Bailey’s, Mannheim Steamroller and Blue Man Group are also consistently offered to patrons. There’s something for everyone at the arena!

In February 2000 the arena became known as TD Waterhouse Centre, as part of a naming rights agreement orchestrated by the Orlando Magic. The name changed again in 2006 to the Amway Arena, once the previous naming rights contract had expired.

Today the Amway Arena exists as one of Orlando’s most recognizable and popular sports and entertainment venues.
