its not a restaurant, there will be a restaurant in the footprint but the main building will be interactive games and video and i would imagine VR. also the obligatory gift shop with authentic merch.It's one of many restaurants that guests can choose to go to or not. Not that big of deal
I'm not a basketball fan and have no interest in the NBA experience but I imagine this will be very popular among fans of the game.
thats a great number but it is deceiving. it takes the NBA 1230 games to achieve that. the NFL is at about 18 million however that is in 256 games. at 1230 they would be at 85 million give or take. i don't have the slightest idea what point i am trying to make except that maybe "The NFL experience" would most likely be more successful. then again i would not go to a BB game if i had free tickets so my opinion is way bias. Go Steelers. also they had an NBA themed restaurant and i believe gift shop at CityWalk and if i am not mistaken it went out.21,997,412 fans attended NBA games last season.
That's not exactly right. That's the number of tickets sold, not the number of individual fans. If I have season tickets and there were 40 home games, I represent 40 of those tickets.21,997,412 fans attended NBA games last season.
NFL stadiums seat 60,000+ NBA stadiums seat 15,000+.thats a great number but it is deceiving. it takes the NBA 1230 games to achieve that. the NFL is at about 18 million however that is in 256 games. at 1230 they would be at 85 million give or take. i don't have the slightest idea what point i am trying to make except that maybe "The NFL experience" would most likely be more successful. then again i would not go to a BB game if i had free tickets so my opinion is way bias.

I think this is the target. The young male especially. I am 19 and male. Most if not all of my friends and people I know around my age like the NBA.I actually think putting in something to appeal to sports fans is a good idea. It might be one way to get a non-Disney fan (like a spouse, perhaps) to come to Disney.
who is upset?I guess I just don't understand you being upset about this? There are plenty of NBA fans who will be the demographic for this kind of thing. Not everything is going to appeal to everyone...

in order for the first line of your reply to hold water you would have to be able to say that if NBA stadiums held 60,000 they could fill them. as for the tv deal, good for them, but i can pull out stats that show 35% of fans say NFL is the fav sport 14% say baseball and 6% say NBA. the revenue stays propped up by the fact that there is a game about every 15 minutes. both are sucessful business models. as for universal not renewing the lease, when is the last time you heard of anybody or anything that was performing to expectations getting the boot.NFL stadiums seat 60,000+ NBA stadiums seat 15,000+.
ESPN/Disney and the NBA have a huge TV deal. The NFL TV is not nearly as large.
This is dining, shopping, and interactive experiences. Universal kicked the NBACity restaurant out they didn't leave due to poor sales.
wow..........there is no issue. its a discussion, there are different sides to it...........everything is not solved with, IF YOU DONT LIKE IT, DONT GO THERE!So it's all encompassing. Still trying to see what the issue is?
You brought up that the NBA needs more games to achieve that number and the NFL can do better with less games. I was proving that point invalid.in order for the first line of your reply to hold water you would have to be able to say that if NBA stadiums held 60,000 they could fill them. as for the tv deal, good for them, but i can pull out stats that show 35% of fans say NFL is the fav sport 14% say baseball and 6% say NBA. the revenue stays propped up by the fact that there is a game about every 15 minutes. both are sucessful business models. as for universal not renewing the lease, when is the last time you heard of anybody or anything that was performing to expectations getting the boot.
i think the facade will be magnificent and that alone will improve that area. i will go in but i doubt i will be inclined to spend any moneyYou brought up that the NBA needs more games to achieve that number and the NFL can do better with less games. I was proving that point invalid.
It doesn't matter who likes what sport. ESPN, Disney and the NBA have a big relationship which is why they are doing this.
Universal wanted to revitalize City Walk and the NBA was part of that plan.
Look, you and I might not like the NBA or this venue coming in but its happening. I will check it out at least once because who knows it could have good food and could be fun. Disney Springs has so much for all types of people.[/
