we are coming over the orlando 24th may- 4th june 2009. we were hoping to see a basketball game but the NBA season seems to have finished. has anybody any ideas? somebody mentioned colledge games should still be on. no idea where to look though.
thanks
College basketball will also have finished with the big competition being March Madness which finishes early to mid May (from memory). After that I am afraid there is no more until the next season.
College games are always a good alternative to NBA matches and are very high standard.

thanks for that. we will just have to go back next year!
its a good excuse...
Excellent excuse for a return visit. At the end of the year is the March Madness competition which is the best 65 clubs and some of the matches are as good as NBA matches.
I would suggest the college games towards the end of the season are better than the NBA. Can you imagine 25,000 seat stadiums filled for a college game in the UK?

Disneys Wide World of Sports has sports to watch all summer- even some soccer- all good to go and watch for a few dollars entrance. Put Http// in front of the address below and look at tab for Event Schedule at the top of the page. The Soccer is run by Chelsea, and was a good standard when we went last.

We have watched college basketball [great atmosphere], baseball and allsorts- the Cafe isn't bad either.
Robert spent last year at University of North Carolina and went to see as many college games as he could. The stadium was packed and students had to enter ballots weeks in advance to get tickets. Could not see the same thing happening in the UK even if our courts were the same size.
If anyone is interested in the history of basketball and is in Chapel Hill, North Carolina the university have a very good basketball museum which includes items donated by Michael Jordan (UNC graduate).
