As part of the 20th anniversary celebration of its ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex, Walt Disney World Resort officially opened a new multi-purpose sports and entertainment arena Friday, continuing the growth and expansion of the 220-acre Disney sports venue that is widely regarded as the leading facility for youth sports in America.
Walt Disney World just got a whole lot more clout as "the" place to be if you're holding a national level high school sporting event. Designed especially for the needs of cheer and dance competitions, the 8,000-seat arena is the third indoor sporting venue at the Walt Disney World Resort, and will host a variety of major indoor sporting events from basketball to volleyball to gymnastics to wrestling.
Also worth noting, the new arena will host runDisney Health & Fitness Expos during runDisney race weekends, beginning with the Disney Princess Half Marathon Weekend in February.
