ESPN's Wide World of Sports™ Complex
Spread over 200 acres, ESPN's Wide World of Sports™ Complex
has quickly become one of the world's top sports destinations - including the
the annual Pop Warner Super Bowl and National Cheer & Dance Championships.
Solely devoted to the spirit of athletic competition, the vast
sports landscape includes: a 5,500-seat field house with room for six full-size
basketball courts, a 7,500-seat Baseball Stadium, an 11-court tennis complex
with a centre court stadium, a softball quadraplex, baseball quadraplex, a pair
of youth baseball fields, four multi-sport fields (all with international soccer
dimensions), and a modern, nine-lane 400-meter track and field stadium. The
complex also boasts the only permanent version of the NFL Experience and the
Official All Star Cafe sports-themed restaurant.
These
facilities were built for sports with all of the modern amenities today's
technology can offer. Every single athletic surface at ESPN Wide World of
Sports™ Complex is of the finest quality, giving athletes the ability to perform
at the highest level. All-grass playing surfaces at the complex feature fast,
elegant and natural Tifway 419 Bermuda Turf, commonly seen in pro stadiums. The
drainage systems are engineered to deal with Florida's occasional cloudbursts,
dispersing rain rapidly so that delays are kept to a minimum and the action is
virtually non-stop.
The
multi-sport fields that will again play host to the Pop Warner 2005 Super Bowl
have also welcomed many of the top professional players who have participated in
the NFL Quarterback Challenge, the NFL Air-It-Out and the Cincinnati Bengals
Mini-Camp. Top high school football players have also participated in the Kaylee
Scholarship Association Game of the Week at the Orlando, Florida venue, ESPN
Wide World of Sports™.
THE HP
FIELD HOUSE:
With over 30,000
square feet of competition space on the bottom floor alone, this
state-of-the-art facility is one of the most unique sport venues that has been
seen in decades. The Milk House features unprecedented flexibility, new age
playing surfaces, custom athlete training areas, and new "Florida Picturesque"
construction. Wrestling, martial arts, basketball, volleyball, and inline hockey
are just a few of the sports that take place in The Milk House.
Inside, fans are surrounded by beautiful ballroom-style finished hallways and stairwells that
aredecorated with colored tiles and luxury fixtures. The brightly painted
ceiling with sprawling trusses and special up-lighting give the cozy arena an
open, universal feel. Of the 5,000 seats, the highest row in The Milk House is
only 35 feet off the ground, providing up-close viewing of the action!
Not a detail has
been overlooked to ensure that all athletes have a five-star experience in The
Milk House. This formidable facility allows for athletes to attend a health
session in one of the four classrooms, work out in the 3,000-square-foot
strength-and-conditioning room with Hammer Strength® and York equipment, or
utilize one of the spacious custom Akira wood professional lockers that have
safety features and a lower storage area.
