Complex is easy to get to being a part of Disney with parking being an ease. Pick a sport, name a sport... ESPN got with their huge baseball complex and indoor arenas. The many dozens of outdoor fields can hold many games at the same time. Although the field quality can be better but it's not horrible considering the amount of traffic and events they hold so kudos to the ground crew for keeping the field quality decent considering the amount of usage weekly. The complex is organized and easy to get around. Wish they would strongly enforce a harder trash mandate to ensure patrons pick up after themselves as more often than none, teams and patrons leave a mess around bench's and team sidelines after each game. Although it's not ESPN's fault and more on the citizens attending events to clean up after themselves. They have several food outlets and vendors and food trucks for those long days on the field. With the hot Florida sun, love that they have watering and hydration stations around the fields with plenty of water coolers to help athletes stay cool and hydrated. However, I wish they have more shaded areas and maybe even covered spectator viewing areas or benches as the sun can be brutal so come prepared with your own tent or umbrella, etc Overall, attended many events and competitions at the venue and it's always a great facility and they always put in a great show overall!

It was an excellent experience although the stadium was not well attended as it was Wednesday.

This honestly is an amazing family friendly atmosphere that if you enjoy being outside and baseball you will not be disappointed. Everything is very reasonably priced and they are always running specials such as the game we went to tonight where every seat in the park was five dollars. The only reason I did not give it five stars was because the bathroom wasn't very clean but then again what do you really expect at a baseball stadium. Also the food is a little bit pricey. I believe a hotdog was $5 and I got a chicken nugget basket with french fries and a drink and that was $12. So if you're a big family I would definitely suggest grabbing something before going to the game as far as food goes, but overall it's definitely a great experience On a sidenote, I believe the 2019 season is the last year they will be in Kissimmee, so make sure you check the website to see where their new home is going to be.

We sat at the top of this grassy hill that had picnic tables all along it, which afforded great views of the game and much better than being squashed in some seat next to a sweaty guy.

Otherwise sit up and pay attention, as the people watching is hilarious and sad all at the same time. Oh and dont get beaned with a ball.

So cheesy that it was a melt but all good fun with the giving out of prizes every half inning and some fun nonsense with Shelldon. No seat is a bad seat, well maybe with the exception of baking out in the sun on the 3B side bleachers or if you're lucky enough to get stuck behind one of the posts that supports the roof, and since attendance is always seemingly miserable you can score great seats at the last minute. The food selections are basic (some minor league parks really have expanded and bougified their offerings) but here it's still your basic dogs, burgers, pretzels, chicken fingers, funnel cake fries that make up the back bone of the menu. The good thing is that prices across the board are very reasonable and the surroundings are small/informal enough that the friendliness of the staff really shines through. The Tortugas won and we saw some good pitching from Daytona along with two home runs. Sure there were also a few mental lapses from St. Lucie that equaled two errors but it was still a solid game. Good pricing, super easy to do everything from park, get tickets, find your seat, etc. All in all a great time. Definitely a must do!

You can watch…read morea replay of the final game between the Magic and the Delaware Blue Coats, in condensed format, for free on YouTube here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wGttHSF1mN8. You can watch a replay of the entire game if you have a subscription to ESPN+. You can watch the Magic's championship ceremony here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x7G0-ouUtdc. Stan Heath was the coach of the 2021 championship team. He coached Lakeland from 2017 to 2021. Before becoming head coach of the Magic, he was a fairly successful college coach. That's where I remember him from. Heath led 10th-seeded Kent State to the 2002 Elite Eight. One of his sons, Josh Heath, played three seasons at Georgia Tech (my school). After winning the 2021 G League championship, Stan Heath has returned to the college ranks. He was hired to be the head coach at his alma mater, Eastern Michigan. Class of 2019 Princeton alum Devin Cannady was named 2021 G League Finals MVP. Shortly afterwards, he signed contracts with the Orlando Magic and appeared in eight games in the NBA before injuring his right ankle. Former NBA and European pro basketball player Anthony Parker has managed the Lakeland Magic since 2017. I remember Anthony Parker best for his time with the Cleveland Cavaliers. His first year in Cleveland was LeBron James' last (of James' first stint with the Cavs). He was a significant contributor to that Cavs team that lost in the 2010 Eastern Conference Semifinals to the Boston Celtics. LeBron then left for Miami and the rest is history. The Magic have been successful since moving to Lakeland, outside of Tampa, in 2017. The team has qualified for the playoffs every year since they've been in Lakeland. They won the Southeast Division in 2019 and made it to the Eastern Conference Finals that year. This team used to be the Erie BayHawks of Erie, Pennsylvania (2008-2017). A new Erie BayHawks team was formed in 2019 and, only after a couple of years, was moved to Birmingham, Alabama. The Lakeland Magic officially own the original Erie BayHawks' franchise history.

Along with two children and a neighbour,…read morewe ventured to Amway Arena to see the two top teams in professional lacrosse battle for home field advantage during the approaching playoffs. None of the people in my party new anything about lacrosse. Based on the low level of fan enthusiasm (and I am guessing that there were no more than 2,500 of us in the by-comparison-cavernous Amway Arena), there were a lot of people in attendance who did not really know much about the sport. That is a pity because the Titans, and their victorious opponents the Washington Stealth, put on a good show. At least I think that they did. The Titans need to do much better community outreach to educate potential fans about lacrosse and its rules if the Titans want to survive here in Orlando. Although there are a lot of kids playing lacrosse now, there are not a lot of adults with great familiarity. I hope that next year the team will publish the rules of lacrosse in the handout that it gives to attendees and that more effort will be made to help potential fans to understand the game (among the fastest growing in the USA). Local businesses also need to rally around the team. Orlando should have more professional sports franchises but they will not be able to succeed if corporate Orlando does not step in. Props to Baker & Hostetler for being a conspicuous sponsor. And sports fans . . . if you want sports to continue in the City Beautiful, buy a ticket to next Friday's game against Buffalo. Even if you do not understand what is going on on the field, you will be supporting local sports. That, dear friends, is a good thing. Lastly, Titans, here my call for greater community outreach and I am sure you will earn a coveted fourth star for next year, your second season here in Orlando!

Here's the story: After almost winning the league championship, the New York Titans, a professional indoor lacrosse team, decided to up and move to Orlando to start their 2010 season. At first I was skeptical - how many teams (that aren't the Magic) have tried to come and garner a corner of the Orlando sports market? Arena football, arena soccer, hockey - you name it, they tried it. But I got tickets to the opening night of the Orlando Titan's inaugural game at Amyway Arena, and I gotta tell you - I had FUN. Without knowing/understanding the sport, without knowing who the heck the players were (and some looked hot...), and with an open-mind, I had a GREAT time. They played a lot of music to keep us moving, the dancers were cute, the crowd was energized, the announcer rocked it, and the players owned the field - what more could you want?! I had read that this was a full contact sport with the potential for fights, and they weren't kidding! These guys were not shy, and seriously took (and GAVE) a beating. We ended up winning our first game here (I'm using "our" - I totally am already calling them my own? crazy!), AND there were two fights during the match that we totally owned! It was CRAZY! So I'm reviewing the Titans on Yelp! because I want them to stick around. I had a great time, tickets are cheap, the game is fun, and it looks like they had a great turnout. I hope they can keep it up and Orlando can embrace a new sport. It really was a lot of action and my friends and I will be back for more.
