Sports complex in Walt Disney World
the sports complex at Walt Disney World
The ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex is a multi purpose sports complex located at Walt Disney World in Bay Lake, Florida, United States, near Orlando. The complex allows families to combine tournaments and competition with a visit to vacation destinations in the area. The complex includes nine venues and hosts numerous professional and amateur sporting events throughout the year. In reference to the weekly ABC Sports television show, Wide World of Sports (Disney bought ABC in 1996), the complex was originally known as Disney's Wide World of Sports Complex from 1997 until 2010, when it was rebranded with the name of the Disney owned ESPN. The complex is a part of the sports tourism emerging market.
История
Disney построил комплекс стоимостью 100 миллионов долларов США на месте бывших водно-болотных угодий под руководством вице-президента Disney Реджи Уильямса. Строительство началось в июле 1995 года. Комплекс был создан для популяризации Walt Disney World, заполнения гостиниц, увеличения доходов от спонсоров и укрепления позиций Walt Disney World как ведущего спортивного направления.
Disney built the US$100 million facility on former wetlands under the direction of Disney Vice President Reggie Williams. Construction started in July 1995. The complex was built to publicize Walt Disney World, fill hotel rooms, grow sponsorship revenue, and build Walt Disney World's position as a sports destination.

Комплекс открылся 28 марта 1997 года с показательного бейсбольного матча между командами «Атланта Брейвз» и «Цинциннати Редс». С 21 по 27 апреля на основных теннисных кортах проходил чемпионат США по теннису на грунтовых кортах среди мужчин. Торжественное открытие состоялось 15 мая 1997 года. Первоначальная застройка включала девять площадок, а завершение строительства десятой – Олимпийского велотрека – ожидалось в третьем квартале 1997 года. На территории также располагались официальное кафе All Star Café и Центр Северо-Восточного университета по изучению спорта в обществе. Чемпионат США по прыжкам на батуте и акробатике был проведен на комплексе в выходные дни 7 июня 1997 года. Бывший бейсбольный судья и архитектор заявили, что в 1987 году они обратились в The Walt Disney Company с планами спортивного комплекса, и что Wide World of Sports, открывшийся 10 лет спустя, был во многом основан на их проектах. Disney утверждал, что, хотя в дизайне и имелись некоторые сходства, комплекс также был похож на множество других спортивных сооружений, а сама концепция спортивного парка была слишком общей, чтобы какая-либо группа могла претендовать на исключительные права на нее. Эти двое мужчин, которых частично представлял известный адвокат Джонни Кокран, подали иск против Disney в окружной гражданский суд округа Ориндж. В августе 2000 года присяжные вынесли вердикт в пользу истцов, присудив им компенсацию в размере 240 миллионов долларов, что составляло лишь небольшую часть от запрошенных 1,5 миллиарда долларов. Disney обжаловал решение и урегулировал дело во внесудебном порядке в сентябре 2002 года на конфиденциальных условиях. Когда Planet Hollywood только вышла из банкротства, Disney предложила выкупить ее кафе All Star Café, расположенное на территории комплекса, в феврале 2000 года и приобрела право аренды в марте 2000 года. В 2007 году оно стало кафе «Что дальше?», а в 2010 году было переименовано в ESPN Wide World of Sports Grill. В августе 2004 года к комплексу были добавлены 20 акров дополнительных площадок, включая четыре бейсбольных поля и другие многофункциональные поля, под названием Hess Sports Fields. В мае 2008 года представители Disney объявили о планах строительства боулинг-стадиона на 100 дорожек с рестораном. Этот стадион должен был быть построен и эксплуатироваться третьей стороной и завершен в течение 18 месяцев. Ожидалось, что на объекте будет проведено около 13 турниров Ассоциации боулинга США.
The venue opened on March 28, 1997, with an exhibition baseball game between the Atlanta Braves and the Cincinnati Reds. On April 21–27, the main tennis courts hosted the U. S. Men's Clay Court Tennis Championships. A grand opening was held May 15, 1997. The initial build out consisted of nine venues with a 10th, the Olympic velodrome, expected in the third quarter 1997. Official All Star Café and Northeastern University's Center for the Study of Sport in Society. USA Trampoline and Tumbling Championships was held at the complex the weekend of June 7, 1997. A former baseball umpire and an architect alleged that they approached The Walt Disney Company in 1987 with plans for a sports complex, and that Wide World of Sports, which opened 10 years later, was heavily based on their designs. Disney claimed that, while the designs had some similarities, the complex was also similar to numerous other sporting facilities, and the concept of a sports park was too generic for any one group to claim ownership. The two men, represented in part by noted attorney Johnnie Cochran, sued Disney in Orange County civil court. In August 2000, a jury returned a verdict for the plaintiffs with damages in the amount of $240 million, a fraction of the $1.5 billion sought. Disney appealed the judgment, and settled out of court in September 2002 for undisclosed terms. With Planet Hollywood just out of bankruptcy, Disney offered to purchase its All Star Café located here in February 2000 and acquired the lease in March 2000. It became What's Next? Cafe in 2007 before being rebranded as ESPN Wide World of Sports Grill in 2010. In August 2004, 20 acres of additional fields, four baseball diamonds with other multi use fields, were added under the name of Hess Sports Fields. Plans for a 100 lane bowling stadium with restaurant was announced for the complex by Disney officials in May 2008. This stadium would be built and operated by a third party and was supposed to completed in 18 months. About 13 United States Bowling Congress tournaments were expected for the facility.

Во время мероприятия ESPN the Weekend 25 февраля 2010 года комплекс был переименован в ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex. Он получил масштабную модернизацию, включающую установку HD-видеотабло на нескольких площадках, новую общекомплексную аудиосистему и производственный центр для трансляций. Новые объекты и мероприятия в комплексе включали PlayStation Pavilion и Custom Tee Center by Champion. До ребрендинга в 2007 году компания Disney объявила о строительстве отельно-торгового комплекса Flamingo Crossings площадью 450 акров. Он должен был быть расположен вблизи комплекса и ориентирован на бюджетных посетителей Disney World. Проект был приостановлен из-за экономического спада, но возобновлен в 2013 году после продажи участка компании JL Properties Inc. из Аляски, которая стала застройщиком первой очереди. 16 октября 2014 года состоялась церемония закладки первого этапа, состоящего из двух отелей бренда Marriott International, которые открылись в январе 2016 года. С 2006 по 2008 год в комплексе проводились Disney Channel Games. Из-за проблем с доступностью актеров Disney Channel Games были отменены в 2009 году и последующие годы. С 9 по 11 мая 2014 года в комплексе прошел предсезонный турнир WNBA с участием четырех команд, а также турнир по баскетболу среди девушек AAU. В финале турнира команда Minnesota Lynx одержала победу над Chicago Sky со счетом 76–69. Пока Citrus Bowl находился на ремонте, футбольный клуб Orlando City SC проводил свои домашние матчи 2014 года на территории комплекса. В июле 2015 года было объявлено, что в 2016 году комплекс примет Invictus Games. Invictus Games прошли с 8 по 12 мая 2016 года. На церемониях открытия и закрытия выступили принц Гарри, Мишель Обама и Морган Фриман. В мероприятии приняли участие более 500 военнослужащих, а также другие известные личности, включая бывшего президента США Джорджа Буша и Джилл Байден, вторую леди. В начале января 2018 года в комплексе открылась The Arena – третья крытая многофункциональная спортивно-развлекательная арена. В том же месяце United States Specialty Sports Association переехала в Space Coast Complex в Виере, штат Флорида, прекратив использование комплекса ESPN. С 2017 года комплекс принимает мероприятия, связанные с NFL Pro Bowl, предшествующие игре. Помимо открытых тренировок для болельщиков, ESPN транслирует Pro Bowl Skills Showdown – серию соревнований один на один между игроками. По данным организаторов, за последние четыре года Pro Bowl и связанные с ним мероприятия принесли Центральной Флориде экономический эффект, оцениваемый в 100 миллионов долларов.
During an ESPN the Weekend kick off event on February 25, 2010, the complex was rebranded as the ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex. It received a massive upgrade, having installed HD video scoreboards at several venues, a new complex wide audio system, and a broadcast production facility. New venues and activities at the complex included the PlayStation Pavilion and Custom Tee Center by Champion. Prior to the rebranding in 2007, Disney announced a 450 acre Flamingo Crossings hotel and retail development. It would be located near the area for complex visitors and budget minded Disney World visitors. Shelved due to economic downturn, the project was revived with the 2013 sale of the property to first phase developer JL Properties Inc. of Alaska. An October 16, 2014, groundbreaking took place for the first phase, consisting of two Marriott International brand hotels which opened in January 2016. From 2006 to 2008, the Disney Channel Games were held at the complex. Due to actor availability issues, The Disney Channel Games were cancelled in 2009 and onwards. From May 9–11, 2014, a WNBA pre season tournament consisting of four teams was held alongside an AAU girls basketball tournament at the complex, with the Minnesota Lynx winning the tournament over the Chicago Sky 76–69. While the Citrus Bowl was under repairs, the Orlando City Soccer Club played its 2014 home games at the complex. In July 2015, it was announced that the 2016 Invictus Games would be held at the complex. The Invictus Games were held from May 8 to 12, 2016. Prince Harry, Michelle Obama, and Morgan Freeman all spoke at the Opening and Closing ceremony. Over 500 service members were in attendance, along with other notable public figures, including former United States President George W. Bush and Second Lady Jill Biden. In early January 2018, The Arena opened at the complex as its third indoor multi purpose sports and entertainment arena. Also that month, United States Specialty Sports Association left for the Space Coast Complex in Viera, Florida ending its use of ESPN's complex. Since 2017, the Complex is host of the NFL Pro Bowl activities prior to the game. Besides having open practices for fans, ESPN broadcasts the Pro Bowl Skills Showdown, a series of head to head competitions between the players. According to event organizers, over the last four years, the Pro Bowl and festivities surrounding it have generated an estimated $100 million economic impact for Central Florida.
Используйте в качестве пузыря во время пандемии COVID-19
В мае 2020 года, из-за продолжающейся пандемии COVID-19 в Соединенных Штатах, появились сообщения о том, что как Major League Soccer, так и NBA вели переговоры с Disney о размещении команд в этом комплексе для проведения там своих сезонов. Впоследствии было подтверждено, что комплекс примет обе лиги. В сезоне 2020 года МЛС провела турнир MLS is Back, который включал в себя три матча регулярного сезона для каждой из 26 команд, а также плей-офф для определения путевки в Лигу чемпионов КОНКАКАФ 2021 года (в общей сложности 54 матча), проходивший с 8 июля по 11 августа. 11 августа 2020 года «Портленд Тимберс» победил «Орландо Сити» со счетом 2:1 и стал победителем турнира. Тем временем, сезон НБА 2019–20 годов был завершен на аренах AdventHealth Arena, HP Field House и Visa Athletic Center. Были приглашены 22 команды: 16 команд, занимавших места в плей-офф на момент приостановки сезона из-за пандемии, включая команду «Орландо Мэджик», и шесть команд, отстававших не более чем на шесть побед от восьмого и последнего места в плей-офф в каждой конференции. На трех выбранных аренах прошли тренировочные матчи, восемь игр регулярного сезона для каждой команды, приглашенной в «пузырь» НБА, начиная с 30 июля, серия плей-ин, а также все игры плей-офф и финальной серии НБА. 11 октября 2020 года «Лос-Анджелес Лейкерс» победили «Майами Хит» со счетом 106:93 и выиграли серию до четырех побед со счетом 4:2. В 2021 году Лига G НБА достигла соглашения о проведении сезона 2020–21 годов исключительно в этом комплексе. 11 марта 2021 года «Лейкленд Мэджик» победили «Делавэр Блю Коутс» со счетом 97:78 и стали чемпионами.
In May 2020, due to the ongoing COVID 19 pandemic in the United States, there were reports that both Major League Soccer and the NBA were in talks with Disney to host the teams to have their respective seasons in the complex. It was then confirmed that the complex would host both leagues. The 2020 Major League Soccer season held the MLS is Back Tournament, which had three regular season matches for each of the 26 teams as well as a bracket tournament to determine a berth into the 2021 CONCACAF Champions League (for a total of 54 matches), from July 8 to August 11. On August 11, 2020, the Portland Timbers defeated Orlando City SC 2 1 to win the tournament. Meanwhile, the 2019–20 NBA season was concluded at the AdventHealth Arena, HP Field House, and the Visa Athletic Center. 22 teams were invited: the 16 teams in playoff position at the time of the season being put on hold due to the pandemic, including the host Orlando Magic, and the six teams within six games of the eighth and final playoff spot in either conference. The three chosen arenas hosted scrimmages, eight regular season games for each team invited to the NBA Bubble starting July 30, a play in mini series, and the entirety of the NBA Playoffs and Finals. On October 11, 2020, the Los Angeles Lakers defeated the Miami Heat 106 93 to win the best of 7 series 4 2. In 2021, the NBA G League reached an agreement to host the 2020–21 season exclusively at the complex. On March 11, 2021, the Lakeland Magic defeated the Delaware Blue Coats 97 78 to win the championship.
Стадион в ESPN Wide World of Sports
На бейсбольном стадионе, построенном в 1997 году и вмещающем 7500 зрителей, также предусмотрено 2000 мест для размещения на газоне. Являясь одним из первоначальных объектов комплекса Wide World of Sports, он ранее носил названия Стадион Чемпиона, Стадион Cracker Jack и The Ballpark at Disney's Wide World of Sports. С 1997 по 2019 год стадион служил местом проведения весенних тренировок команды Atlanta Braves, а также регулярно использовался командой Gulf Coast Braves. Изначально Braves объявили, что 2017 год станет для них последним сезоном на этом комплексе, но их переезд был отложен до 2019 года. В 2020 году Atlanta Braves официально перенесли место проведения весенних тренировок в CoolToday Park, расположенный в Норт-Порте, штат Флорида, после 21 года использования комплекса ESPN. Стадион принимал две серии регулярного чемпионата Высшей бейсбольной лиги в 2007 и 2008 годах, в которых домашней командой выступала Tampa Bay Rays.
A 7,500 seat baseball stadium built in 1997 also has 2,000 more lawn seating. One of the original components of Wide World of Sports, it was formerly known as Champion Stadium, Cracker Jack Stadium and The Ballpark at Disney's Wide World of Sports. It was the spring training home of the Atlanta Braves from 1997 to 2019, and the recurring home for the Gulf Coast Braves. The Braves initially announced that 2017 would be their final year in the complex, but their departure would be delayed to 2019. In 2020, the Atlanta Braves officially moved their spring training site to CoolToday Park located in North Port, FL after 21 years in the ESPN complex. The stadium has hosted two regular season Major League Baseball series in 2007 and 2008 featuring the Tampa Bay Rays as the home team.
Полевая комната на государственной ферме
Многоцелевая арена на 5000 мест, ранее известная как Milk House, Disney Fieldhouse и HP Field House, в настоящее время спонсируется компанией State Farm. Ежегодно здесь проходит студенческий баскетбольный турнир ESPN Events Invitational. В State Farm Field House также есть одно или два поля для роллер-хоккея. Вместимость для роллер-хоккея составляет 1200 человек.

Программы и мероприятия
Disney создала треть своих мероприятий, участвуя в других турнирах или привлекая долгосрочных партнеров, таких как Союз любительских спортсменов. С 2006 года союз проводил на комплексе от 30 до 35 турниров в год. Ассоциация специализированных видов спорта Соединенных Штатов зарезервировала шесть выходных на комплексе. Проходит с середины февраля до середины апреля, когда команды старших школ и колледжей тренируются во время весенних каникул на объекте. До 2005 года программа принимала команды, в основном по легкой атлетике, лакроссу и софтболу. На мероприятие приезжают тысячи игроков и их семей, а ESPN даже транслирует часть этих игр в прямом эфире по национальному телевидению. Disney Soccer Showcase (2000 – настоящее время) – ведущий молодежный футбольный турнир. НБА одобрила план возобновления сезона 30 июля в «Пузыре НБА» (NBA Bubble), где все игры должны были пройти на аренах AdventHealth Arena (ранее известной как The Arena), HP Field House и Visa Athletic Center. В «Пузырь» были приглашены 22 из 30 команд лиги – 16 клубов, занимавших позиции в плей-офф на тот момент, и шесть команд (пять в Западной конференции, одна в Восточной конференции), находившихся в пределах шести игр от восьмой позиции (в основном, претендующих на восьмое место). Согласно этому плану, 22 команды сыграли восемь игр регулярного сезона для определения посева. Возможный турнир за право играть за восьмое место в каждой конференции был бы проведен, если девятая команда завершила бы регулярный сезон в пределах четырех игр от восьмой, что и произошло в Западной конференции между «Портленд Трейл Блейзерс» и «Мемфис Гриззлис», в результате чего «Портленд» обошел первоначальное место в плей-офф «Мемфиса» после одной игры. Плей-офф и финалы НБА должны были продолжиться в обычном режиме внутри «Пузыря», и сезон был успешно завершен после победы «Лос-Анджелес Лейкерс» над «Майами Хит» в шести играх. До официального возобновления сезона команды также провели товарищеские матчи на площадках с четвертями по 10 минут с 22 по 28 июля. Во время возобновления сезона, в рамках формата «Пузыря» для борьбы с распространением вируса, команды разместились на территории курорта Walt Disney World в Disney's Yacht Club Resort, Disney's Grand Floridian Resort and Spa и Gran Destino Tower в Disney's Coronado Springs Resort в зависимости от их посева. Команды с худшими результатами остановились в Disney's Yacht Club Resort, а команды с лучшими результатами (включая «Лейкерс» и «Хит») – в Disney's Coronado Springs Resort. Ни один игрок, находившийся в «Пузыре» в то время, не заразился COVID-19, хотя несколько игроков НБА нарушили правила карантина, и игры были ненадолго приостановлены после стрельбы в Джейкоба Блейка.
Disney created a third of its events while bidding for other tournaments or attracting long term partners such as the Amateur Athletic Union. As of 2006, the union hosted at the complex 30 to 35 tournaments a year. The United States Specialty Sports Association had reserved six weekends at the complex. takes place from mid February to mid April in which high school and college teams practice during their spring break at the facility. Until 2005, the program accommodated teams primarily in track and field, lacrosse, and softball. Thousands of players and families come to the event, with ESPN even broadcasting part of these games live on national television. Disney Soccer Showcase (2000–present) a top youth soccer tournament the NBA approved a plan to restart the season on July 30 in the NBA Bubble with all games to be played at the AdventHealth Arena (previously named The Arena), the HP Field House, and the Visa Athletic Center with 22 of the league's 30 teams being invited – the 16 clubs that were in playoff position at the time and the six teams (five in the Western Conference, one in the Eastern Conference) within six games of one (primarily a Seed 8 spot). Under this plan, the 22 teams played eight regular season "seeding" games. A possible play in tournament for the eighth seed in each conference would then be held if the ninth seed finished the regular season within four games of the eighth seed, which did happen in the Western Conference between the Portland Trail Blazers and the Memphis Grizzlies, ending with Portland overtaking Memphis' initial playoff spot after one game played under it. The NBA Playoffs and Finals were then set to proceed as normal inside the bubble, and the season was successfully completed after the Los Angeles Lakers were victorious over the Miami Heat in six games. Prior to the season officially resuming, the teams also played scrimmages at the venues with 10 minute quarters from July 22 to 28. During the resumption of the season, as part of the bubble format to combat the spread of the virus, the teams were based on the Walt Disney World resort grounds at Disney's Yacht Club Resort, Disney's Grand Floridian Resort and Spa, and the Gran Destino Tower at Disney's Coronado Springs Resort based on seeding, with the teams with the worst records staying at Disney's Yacht Club Resort and those with the best records (including the Lakers and Heat) staying at Disney's Coronado Springs Resort. No players staying at the bubble during that time were infected with COVID 19, though a select few NBA players did violate their quarantine rules at the time and games were briefly paused after the shooting of Jacob Blake came to light. The MLS is Back Tournament (July 8 – August 11, 2020): Major League Soccer's 2020 season was also suspended due to the COVID 19 pandemic, though its season had just begun with each team first playing in only two games in late February and early March. On June 4, 2020, MLS and the MLS Players Association came to an agreement that included a tournament at the sports complex during the summer of 2020 to help restart their season. The tournament started in the group stage on July 8, entered the knockout stage on July 25 and ended in the final on August 11 with the Portland Timbers beating host Orlando City 2–1. They then officially continued the rest of their 2020 Major League Soccer season, including the 2020 Cup Playoffs, soon afterward. The entire, truncated 2020–21 NBA G League season (February 10 – March 11, 2021): With the 2019–20 NBA G League season cancelled due to the continuing COVID 19 pandemic combined with the National Basketball Association having their next season be played from December 2020 to July 2021, the NBA G League decided they had to do their season under a more truncated format, similar to the 2020 NBA Bubble. While initial plans had the G League's Bubble setting take place in Atlanta, the G League decided to host their entire season on the same grounds the NBA played in during their previous season. To help cover for expenses this season, each participating G League team's parent team had to contribute around $400,000 $500,000 in order for them to stay at the nearby resorts, as well as provide daily medical care, food, and COVID 19 tests. For this season, only 17 of the G League's 28 teams at the time, as well as the newly implemented NBA G League Ignite farm team, were able to compete in a regular season that lasted only 15 games long from February 10 to March 6 before entering a single elimination playoff format lasting from March 8–11. All games aired during that period of time were broadcast onto either ESPN2, ESPNU, or ESPN+. The season ended with the host #6 seed Lakeland Magic upsetting the #4 seed Delaware Blue Coats 97–78 in the championship match.
MLS is Back Tournament (8 июля – 11 августа 2020 года): Сезон 2020 года Высшей футбольной лиги (MLS) также был приостановлен из-за пандемии COVID-19, хотя он только начался, и каждая команда сыграла всего по две игры в конце февраля и начале марта. 4 июня 2020 года MLS и Ассоциация игроков MLS пришли к соглашению, которое включало турнир на спортивном комплексе летом 2020 года для возобновления сезона. Турнир начался с группового этапа 8 июля, перешел в стадию плей-офф 25 июля и завершился финалом 11 августа, в котором «Портленд Тимберс» обыграл хозяев «Орландо Сити» со счетом 2:1. Затем они официально продолжили остаток сезона 2020 года в MLS, включая плей-офф Кубка MLS, вскоре после этого.
