About
Amway Center, which hosts major national events, concerts and family shows opened in the fall of 2010. The facility is owned and operated by the City of Orlando on behalf of the Central Florida community. The Amway Center was designed to reflect the character of the community, meet the goals of the users and build on the legacy of sports and entertainment in Orlando. The building’s exterior features a modern blend of glass and metal materials, along with ever-changing graphics via a monumental wall along one facade. A 180-foot tall tower serves as a beacon amid the downtown skyline. The 875,000 square foot, Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Gold certified building features a sustainable, environmentally-friendly design and unmatched technology. Amway Center was honored with TheStadiumBusiness Awards’ Customer Experience Award, named SportsBusiness Journal's Sports Facility of the Year and recently won the IAVM Venue Excellence Award.

After an usher pointed us in the direction of our seats, we settled in. About 5 minutes later, another usher came down and asked to see our tickets. He was very abrupt and rude. He clearly didn’t think we belonged in such good seats. After he looked at the tickets he mumbled “okay” and walked away. We noticed he didn’t question anyone else.Visited February 2023Travelled as a coupleWritten 8 February 2023

- Mike V2 contributionsGood time, bad usherWent to the NCAA games Thursday and Sat March 2023. Sat in section 111. My wife and I are in our 60s. After getting settled in on Thurs, we were asked by an usher to show our tickets? He asked no one else but clearly there were violaters as sometimes we would get food or go to the bathroom. Saturday three gentlemen who clearly were trying to improve their seats as they were moved twice by the usher but never questioned, sat behind us. They were Duke fans. I wish I had a dollar for every Fbomb dropped by these morons. Then one of them told a Tennessee woman to "Sit down you wh*re!". I had enough and complained to the usher who did nothing. The seats are cheap and one fan fell as his foot went through a rubber protector between the stairs next to us. The ushers answer was to remove the rubber protection leaving a gaping hole. Not good. Had a great time but with a competent usher, it would have made a huge difference.Visited March 2023Travelled as a coupleWritten 19 March 2023

Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Went to a Luke Bryan concert which was excellent. However, acoustics are poor with a lot of echo. Worse of all was the quality and price of drinks. $47 for 2 beers, a wine and water. The beer was also flat. A rip off so avoid.

We were at Amway Center on 2/5 for the Springsteen concert. After we walked under the interstate to enter Amway there were thousands of people waiting in what appeared to be two lines. There were no signs and no one around to provide direction initially. We walked to the end of a very long line which creeped up to the entrance. Once we got there after about 20 minutes, we see a guy with a megaphone telling people that the line we were in was for only two entrance doors and that people should keep walking because there were 18 entrance doors further down. Why not have signs or more people directing?
Also, as we were leaving and going down the escalators (there are two different ones we had to go down), it became dangerous as we got to the bottom of the first one. It was so crowded people were being dumped off at the bottom with no place to go, so people were literally on top of each other. Again. should have staff at the top ensuring the bottom is moving before allowing more people on.

Very Poor Arena. Mens room lines excessive. Concessions lines where very long and slow. 100 level seating is ok but you have to climb 20 or so steps to get in or out. Heaven help ADA"s.
I will say that it was a full house for the UFC at 21000 plus people.
Very safe lively area in downtown Orlando, Arena staff very efficient and friendly. Beer lines short and efficient but bathroom lines not so.

Pouvez vous me dire quels sont les possibilités de transport en commun pour se rendre au Amway Center. Nous logeons au SO d'Orlando du côté de Lake Buena Vista.
Si vous avez également des propositions d'activités à faire avec un groupe d'ados entre 16 et 18 ans et à coût modéré sur Orlando ? Un tout grand merci

Nous avions un véhicule de location, désolé. De mon expérience aux usa, ce type d activité est bien desservi par bus et trains. Si vous restez plusieurs jours, vous pouvez aussi louer un véhicule au vu des tarifs attractifs que l on peut trouver aux usa. Avec des ados sur Orlando je recommande un parc si ils sont amateurs (Universal et/ou seaworld). Sinon à une distance raisonnable vous avez vers l ouest plusieurs parcs naturels (lamantins, alligators, oiseaux, tortues...) sans oublier cape Canaveral.

Assisti 03 jogos da NBA lá... sempre nos andares mais alto e com preços mais populares. A visão da quadra é sempre muito boa.
Penso que, talvez, pela própria dinâmica do jogo, apenas atrás das tabelas, a visão não seja a melhor... mas nas laterais e diagonais da quadra, mesmo no alto, a visão é excelente!

Hi everyone!
I'm hoping you can all help, for the very first time ever (because the NBA is out of town during our visit) I'm attending an Orlando Solar Bears game at the Amway Centre with my brother and Dad in December.
I just wanted to know what things there are to do inside Amway during the hockey games? Is it worth arriving early for food and drink options or is it fairly limited?
Would appreciate any insight from anyone locally who attends all the time or international visitors.
Thank you :)

We are going to watch a NBA game on Black Friday but would like to go shopping in Premium Outlet beforehand. Since there is a bag size limit for Amway Center, does anyone know where we could temporarily store the extra bags? We would be staying in Disney at that time & move to Universal Studio 2 days after. Thank you!

There are lockers for rent at the entrance. I cannot recall how much they cost, but we used them and were satisfied with the service.
