The Orlando Magic will choose among four potential venues as the home site for their Florida-based NBA Development League affiliate.

The possible locations are ESPN Wide World of Sports’ HP Field House, Kissimmee’s Silver Spurs Arena, Jacksonville Veterans Memorial Arena and The Lakeland Center, Magic CEO Alex Martins told the Orlando Sentinel.

The Magic are getting a Local D-League team, and will be voting where they want to open it.
Where would the Magic fans like to have it?

In town for ease of access to see it?
Or in another city (jax or Lakeland)

I personally feel they should expand their brand out, and do it in Tampa or Jacksonville, and draw in another fan base

Jacksonville, we need to expand our fan base to North.

Miami rules Florida for now.

Yes, come to Jacksonville.

We have an ABA team that has a decent following here. Their coach was on the radio this morning saying they had had talks with Rob Hennigan and would love to bring a D-League team here.

I say Disney because it would actually help give the D-League more credibility, unlike Kissimmee/Silver Spurs Arena which makes it sound like the D league is on its way out.

Exactly. Jacksonville has an ABA team and it draws some decent crowds. The Magic should look at that market for sure.

I lived in Jacksonville for a few years and attended some Giants games, it was cheap outing and a lot of fun. Back then they were splitting time between the Veterans Memorial Arena and UNF.
