Autographs at the Amway?

Starscream · Post #1 » by **Starscream** » Wed Aug 6, 2008 10:13 pm

I have never been to a Magic game in Orlando yet, but i'm moving down there later this year. Just wondering what are the good spots to get autos before the game and outside after the game.

I don't know about before the game, but after the game, you can hang out by where the magic players park... there is usually a group of people there and you will at least see some of the players... somtimes. Honestly, you'd hafta be pretty lucky to get an auto, patrick joseph garrity was cool about it and would usually stop anytime, and when ariza was here he stopped and signed a few. GOOD LUCK!

What part of the arena is that located in? I'm guessing it's going to be hard to get Dwight/ and Hedo. I went to a game at the Nets last year and met Rashard, JJ, Foyle, Nelson, and Arroyo....fun times.

Before the game, you can go courtside. The doors open an hour before the game. So get there early. And there you will see some Magic players warming up. And some will stop by to sign autographs. Amway security there, some are strict. I remember one guy kept on telling me that I gotta stay on the metal plate but when the players came to sign autographs he let me get a little closer.

Is there just 1 tunnel each team uses or does each team use a different tunnel?

I think I know what you mean. 4 corners and they each use ones that are across from each other?

There are 2 other options but are sure fire way to get autographs (unfortunately they cost money). One is to go to the season tip off lunch (usually in october before the season starts but might be during preseason). You can pay something like $75 and then you get a lunch and pep talk by coach about the goals for the season and then you get autographs after. Usually this is posted sometime on the magic website. Also in the spring, they have the charity gala. You can often get autographs and pics here but this is very pricey (at least $300, although for charity)

This tunnel was the one nearest to where the Magic get introduced...

Really...the best way to get our player's Autographs is to frequently visit Millenia & the restaurants around it...Hedo & Jameer are always in PF Changs and I got Dwight's at the Zaxby's across the street.

I've heard JJ hangs out up there. Never seen or heard of the others up there. I heard Dwight, Jameer and Hedo are all cool though
