Our position: It's disappointing the Magic season is over, but ...

There is no more bounce in the Orlando Magic basketball season after losing to the Detroit Pistons in the second round of the playoffs.

The new arena is going to excite me in what way?

You should be excited to pay for a new arena. I'm certain the Sentinel, the Magic, the Mayor and city council will work just as hard to provide your "private" business a new venue to work out of. Maybe not. I don't imagine your job is as entertaining as hoop. That is unless you're a stripper.

Yeah ... thousands do. Actually ... it's on a global scale is your mind is able to comprehend that. The arena is a done deal. Should start construction soon. Hey ... you had your voice. Move ... because Orlando doesn't need you. You won't be missed.

If I could afford to move I would. It will cost me to replace my house in another municipality. I am getting ready to retire. The real screwing will start after Buddy's coliseum is built and us taxpayers have to pay for upkeep and maintenance because half the seats will be empty. I hope that Save Our Homes, Amendment I and the Homestead Exemption save me from losing my home. The Sentinel and the City of Orlando are in bed with whatver entity pay them off.

Upkeep and maintenance? Why in the world would you be responsible for it? Also, if your actually getting ready to retire and fear losing your home, maybe you aren't as ready as you think. It sounds to me that you did a poor job of planing your retirement. Don't look for others to bail you out, just because you can't live within your means and plan for your own future.

Yes technically your right! Thousands do care the question is, is it thousands enough?

The arena still does not sellout all the time! Some of the sellout are from corporate purchase of tickets!

Am I going to fast for you "Sam"?

The "Slantinel" say surely better years are still ahead, I believe they said that when "O'neill" was here what 10, maybe 15 years ago!

Sounds like you are about as "hip" about the "Orlando Tragic" as is the "Slantinel" Slam(ed) or was that Sam?
