On the interior north camera ... what are those two bases for that they just put in?

I believe that's for the roof trusses.

Does anyone have a better description of what the "Media Mesh" will be?

All its going to be is a huge graphic billboard displaying different things like the magics next games with dates and times and stuff. No way they showing live footage like games on it, would cause accidents on the I-4. The picture is the prudential center in NJ. That's the same idea.

I highly doubt the league would the Magic to broadcast any game publicly except the Playoffs where demand for seating will greatly exceed the arena capacity. Other than that I'm sure there are licensing and broadcast issues that would prohibit regular games being shown outside the Arena. As far as the practice court, yes the Magic have a facility currently but it is in Maitland. Most likely the practice court would only be used on game days so the team can do private shoot arounds at the arena and cut down on travel time on game days. It would probaly be used for visiting teams to allow them practice time away from the media. I'm fairly certain the main practice facility will still be RDV in Maitland.

No the magic's headquarters will be moving from the RDV to the new arena and that will also be where they practice. It's logical because if Devos decides to sell the team they couldn't practice at the RDV because its owned by Devos. They wouldn't built the team offices and practice court in the new arena and still use the RDV.
