OrlandoMagic3

the comish is mad that magic funded 5 gyms?

what was 5 that upset comish b? If this is approved, will there be national news coverage tomorrow:)?

Oh the irony..the weather is kicking in:) The press will have a field day with creating the dramatic news headlines tomorrow.

I'm glad rosen is donating generously to good causes but tell your buddy the Orlando Magic just agreed to pay for 6 gymnasiums around Orlando which will cost more than 10 mil if I am not mistaken.

Yeah..lets spend 1.1 more billion dollars in I-drive so we can have a bunch of commercialized stuff for tourist leaving downtown orlando a ghost town with nothing for citizens to do. I'm sure many of us will move out after a few years realizing this city doesn't want growth where it belongs (DOWNTOWN)! haha.. the idrive boys put up a good presentation and nearly had me convinced until Donohue? said that there will still be $ for the convention center etc.. the funny part was some of them weren't even suppose to be speaking and kind of just introduced each other randomly.

i can't wait to hear the public opinion:)

OVER..she just hinted which way she is voting and got applause..hahahaah

Go Crotty!!! He just took over in the clutch.

wow lol @ the idrive curveball! everyone who is speaking concentrate on your effort as to why this $ needs to go to downtown!

I have a feeling the Magic will be making a surprise announcement minutes before the vote takes place. hehe

Does your source's name end with a y? :lol:

I have a feeling this will pass.

After a flurry of last-minute deals, the $1.1 billion plan for new downtown arts and sports venues appears set to win final approval today by the slimmest of margins. http://www.orlandosentinel.com/community/n...rl_tab01_layout

http://www.local6.com/news/13757841/detail.html not looking good:(

That makes no sense whatsoever.. Why would she want it to go to Idrive when the new arena would be helping "her area". I don't see how its fair for them to be using this voting for their personal gains? It should be what's best for Orlando..not what is best for myself. I hope she changes her mind and I hope the Magic give a little more out of their own pockets.

kres is amazing. i only did carryout but man..good food.

they just reported the two people who are voting no got contributions in the amt of 2500 and 4000ish to their campaign right when the proposed venues talks were brought up. shady...? i dont know. are you teresa? hahaha i have a feeling the magic will make a surprise announcement tomorrow morning about donating extra $$

its a done deal:) i like counting my chickens before tehy hatch haha

good news. tomorrow is the big vote:)

on ch9 they just said 3 swing votes...so I guess we have good odds....

whats the situation with that? how many voters and how many needed for it to go thru?

isnt it a done deal? passed 6-1 http://blogs.orlandosentinel.com/news_poli...over/index.html lets celebrate:)

anyone watching on tv

If we can land the jags..I'm all for them renovating the citrus bowl:) The $ we get back will be > in the long run.

IS the citrus bowl able to hold an NFL crowd? It looks too old and in bad shape. How nice can the renos make it?
