Would You Go to Orlando Miracle Games If They Returned?

With all the talk of WNBA expansion, including Houston reportedly interested in bringing back the Comets, why not Orlando? (see what I did there?)
The Magic own the Solar Bears again, could they explore the return of the Miracle?
In addition to Houston, the article linked below lists Denver, Nashville, Philly and Miami as possible expansion cities.

I’d get onboard. The WNBA has really started to find its footing with marketable stars, rivalries and good play.

Sure, more pro franchises the better for the city of Orlando. I will be a big fan!

I'm of the belief that having the Miracle back would grow both fanbases.
I've always respected the "purer" style of game in the WNBA and it's only getting better.
It would also give us something to enjoy during the NBA off-season. I'm more apt to pay attention if it's a team I actually root for.

Yes, I think I could get into it. Caitlin has inspired me to reconsider the viability of the WNBA.

Id go. Tickets would be cheap. Would be cool to watch Wilson, Clark, Reese, Stewart, BRINK!, and others. Why the hell not

I'd rather watch the Solar Bears or the Predators.

Orlando could really get a WNBA team back, with the need of another team in the South (only team currently is Atlanta, & DC which is more Mid-Atlantic)
I enjoyed going to Mystic games when Delle Donne was healthy, the WNBA starpower will only grow with Juju, Paige, & Kiki coming in the next couple years
It's kinda funny watching WNBA because the playstyle is alot more similar to 80's-90's NBA basketball than current NBA, especially with the physicality

I dated a Solar Bear girl in 2005. She dumped me and got with a radio jockey

I think watching the ucf would make more sense. They got a good fan base. They dont have anything to do with the orlando magic, but shockingly we have a pinned thread on the orlando magic board.

They’ll never come back to Orlando after how badly the DeVos family fumbled the Miracle.
They’ll pick Miami or a Tampa before us.

Orlando had a WNBA team before? Wow, didn't know that...
Orlando better get ready
