When making plans to visit Orlando, with all its Amusement park excitement, amazing shopping experiences, wonderful places to eat, many times sports of any kind are the last thing vacationers plan to do. Perhaps this shouldn’t go overlooked. Orlando is the proud home of the NBA’s Orlando Magic, a professional basketball team which has had a fair amount of success. The team began life in 1989 and in 1994-95 became the second fastest team in NBA history to gain the NBA finals. They play in the presently named Amway Center in downtown Orlando and with the NBA season running from October through mid-April, there is always a good possibility a home game is an option when visiting Orlando.

 

The Orlando Magic may be the big draw in the sporting world, but that doesn’t mean Orlando doesn’t have other offerings. The popularity in soccer has grown in America, which makes Orlando a great place to house an MSL soccer squad. The Orlando City Soccer Club is that team and they play in the Orlando City Stadium. This $110 million stadium was just recently completed, in time for the team to begin its 2017 season.

 

Orlando is also home to other teams. The Florida Fire Frogs is a Double A professional baseball team affiliated with the Atlanta Braves. They currently play their games at Osceola County Stadium and with baseball beginning in April and running through October, you are sure to be able to whet your baseball appetite if need be. The Orlando Solar Bears is a popular professional ice hockey team that plays in the ECHL. They are affiliated with the NHL’s Toronto Maple Leafs are a popular item in Orlando.

 

For college action, the University of Central Florida Knights is Orlando’s school. As they are a Division I school, they offer a variety of sports to attend which include: football, baseball, ice hockey, basketball and lacrosse.

 

So for anyone looking for a getaway from the hustle and bustle of amusement park life, Orlando’s sporting events could be a wise choice.
