What can you do for sporting events in Orlando Florida?

[HEyHEY]

I have friends, They are going to the Orlando area. And he's hoping to see a sporting event of some kind, they'll be there in mid Febuary. I don't think a couple hour drive would be outta the question.
Any Ideas? They would be up for anything from Nascar - horse jumping.

3. Didn't the magic move?

Or was that some other team?

5. Nope, they are still located in Orlando.

They're not very good though, but they have one of the best players in the league.

6. yeah he said he was thinking about that

But he only wanted to go if the Canucks were in town, they aren't. But maybe he'll go anyway.

7. The St. Pete Times Forum is

a pretty nice place (never been anyplace else so I can't compare)
I went to 4 of the playoff games last year and had a blast.

8. Talk them out of Orlando

Orlando is the worst place in America. It makes Rockford look like Valhalla.
The best restaurant is TGI Fridays. The most interesting site is watching children with a load in their pants shovel down cotton candy.
If I had to spend a weekend there I would shoot myself by noon on Saturday.
BTW, the Magic does not qualify as a professional team.

Disney land..is a big thing to his girlfriend,.
