Welcome to the Daily Blog of Orlando-Arena.com

Here you will be able to find the most up to date information on our goal to get a new arena built for the residents of Orange County. Since 1989 the TD Waterhouse Centre (formerly the Orlando Arena) has stood in downtown Orlando and unfortunately, it is severely obsolete.

We have created this website because we are concerned with the fact that many people believe that as residents of Orange County they will have to foot the bill for a new arena. This is not entirely true! As shown on the main site the Orange County Tourist Tax is currently at 5%, state law lets you raise the tax to 6%. Further, many of you may believe that the tourist tax itself could be used to improve roads and schools. State law does not allow this, it must be used to enhance tourism in the Central Florida area, one such way is through sporting venues.

I hope that you will find this site as a useful educational tool to help the citizens of Orange County understand the advantages that a new arena could bring to our community. Feel free to comment on any changes I can make to the site to make it more useful, it is still in its beginning stages.

Thank You,

JF
