Welcome to my espn Wide World of sports complex full live tour! My name is Passport to the Parks, and I'm your tour guide for today. We'll be taking a look at the new home of NBA basketball, the 2020 Disney Sport complex. This state-of-the-art facility is the perfect place for any sports fan to catch their favorite teams in action. From basketball to football, there's something for everyone at the espn Wide World of sports complex.
As we walk in, you'll notice the massive size of the facility. The main arena can accommodate up to 20,000 fans, making it one of the largest arenas in the world. There are also smaller arenas and fields for other sports such as baseball, soccer, and lacrosse. No matter what your favorite sport is, you'll be able to find it here at the espn Wide World of sports complex.
One of the best things about the espn Wide World of sports complex is that it's located right in the heart of Walt Disney World. That means you can easily take a break from the parks to catch a game or two. And if you're staying at a Disney Resort hotel, you can even take advantage of the complimentary transportation that's available to and from the complex.
So, whether you're a die-hard sports fan or just looking for a fun place to watch some of your favorite teams in action, be sure to check out the espn Wide World of sports complex on your next trip to Walt Disney World.

new to me I was looking for something
fun and original to do today something
that I haven't done in a very long time
I haven't been here in I can't remember
how long sorry
an Atlanta Braves spring training game
here a long time ago and that's the last
time I remember being here that was
probably 15 maybe even 18 years ago so
this is gonna be totally new for me
coming through here looks like it's
pretty awesome looks like a lot of cool
stuff in here I don't remember any of it
from being here at all the last time so
this is gonna be fun walking around will
kind of share it together we'll have a
good time I got some people coming on
Sheri welcome Modelling Disney great to

hey so music what is up all right let me
turn you guys around there's basically a
walkway that kind of heads in here I
know that they have the spring training
stadium here where the Atlanta Braves
are that's obviously where I saw a game
but not quite sure what else is in here

Disney I've never been there I will have
tons of fun to explore I can't talk

yeah I love this irrational protagonist
I'm sorry rational pragmatic got to say
that right thank you so much for the the
super chat always appreciate the
donation the dollar love it thank you
guys very much appreciated so again this
looks just like a walkway that comes
straight through here and there's a
couple complexes from what I know it's
all pretty much centrally located but it
is spread out from like I think it's
like 200 acres or something some absurd
number but there's all kinds of soccer
fields and baseball fields and all kinds
of practice stuff that goes on so a
bunch of different teams coming in here
high school college they all have like
spring training games and all kinds of
cool stuff that they do here so not 100%
sure what I can actually get into to see
I don't know if I can go into the
stadium if I can go into the buildings
or not but we'll see what we can do
David oh you're here last year that's
very cool maybe you can tell us where to
go Matt good to have you here my friend
Disney Dan first time here very cool
welcome Disney Dan alright this actually
looks open so
they probably have some kind of spring
training stuff going on in here see a
lot of baseball caps already
oh this is pretty cool you just come in
here and you can watch watch some games
this is a something I'm definitely gonna
have to come check out I'll even bring
my wife and daughter back here they'd
get a kick out of this but this is
probably high school or college I'm not
really quite sure but hello
it's a beautiful Stadium inside here I
remember sitting right back here when we
saw we're from Cleveland so it was a
Cleveland Indians they were playing down
here as well they were playing the
Braves so that's the reason we came but
I remember sitting down here on this
grassy field
and getting sunburned like crazy we were
like lobsters out here because we sat in
the Sun for nine innings pretty cool
though massive scoreboard really
beautiful out here I mean these guys are
lucky to to come play in a stadium like
this obviously especially if you're in
high school or something you get to come
down here and play some games play some
spring training or whatever they do it's
a really cool experience for them
see Todd the building behind you and to
the right called the arena was built
specifically for cheer and dance
competition
and finished in 27 that's the I'm not
sure it's at now I think it's more in
this direction you can't see it there no
back here yeah this thing this is pretty
amazing
I had heard that this was mainly for
like cheer and dance because they do so
many different competitions and stuff
here but this is basically the the front
area you come right down through that
gate right there I'm actually standing
on top of some little shops in the the
ticket booth and everything is down
there but that's the really cool new
arena that they built I'm sure they hold
concerts and stuff out there as well
there's the parking lot
Joshua and I've been to ESPN Wide World
of Sports but I guess this is the first
time I get to see it in person this will
be the first time for for a lot of
people I guess not really you know when
you come down to Disney you know you're
obviously coming down here for the theme
parks and resorts
you know people that come down here
specifically want to come for you know
their sporting event if they're here
with their school or whatnot or they're
coming to to a brave spring training
game which I believe the Braves this is
their last year here so I don't know if
Disney is bringing in another major
league team or not I don't know if
anybody knows the answer to that out
there hey street cred good to have you
here
somebody gotta hit oh there's a major
fall ball Michael hello hello everyone
enjoy the videos Rob can you hit
boardwalk one day
that's my DBC Resort yeah we usually try
to get there every once in a while a lot
of fun to go there at night
Cammie loves going there so
that crazy guy I saw one game there last
year I'm that grass I was the coldest
night of the year like 30 degrees in
windy trust me I would rather be here on
that night
from what I and then from what I
remember being here like I said we got
sunburned like crazy out here
sitting on this field
but just some levels and stuff that you
can go up here but this is pretty
awesome I mean you I'm definitely gonna
have to come back here and check out a
full game bring back the family they
would love to come just hang out here
and watch some baseball there's some
other stuff going on here too so we're
gonna walk around and see they have like
tennis here soccer all kinds of
different sports obviously the dance and
the chair is really huge here
[Music]
a really major events they looks like
they have concessions see if I can find
my way back out here we go
[Music]
Disney Dan I love getting to ESP and
just to get away from the parks yeah
this is definitely a change of pace
[Music]
especially if you're a sports fan this
is great
let's see this is a ESPN Wide World of
Sports not quite sure what's going on
over here if we can
is this open you know now what is it
Willie Oh media I was this where they do
like the like the ESPN broadcasting and
all that okay okay that's cool what else
is always there more stuff open down
here yes right down here you got fields
like baseball softball and inside each
be building you've got a small fry
tournement going on oh really
all right cool thank you
you heard about this building over here
this is where they do kind of like the
media stuff for ESPN it's kind of like
they do like media broadcast for
different teams and stuff it's almost
kind of like you're you're actually on
ESPN but it's a lot of fun for the
different groups that come through this
is the grill this must be a little
dining place here
[Music]
yeah Josh I saw that you put a broadcast
that we're gonna get some severe weather
tomorrow
that's Florida I mean that just happens
here but thank you thank you for always
keeping us in mind
Zippity dude dad good to have you here
my friends finally got a chance to check
out your stuff I really enjoyed that and
I love the mention over by the sky liner
so that was very very cool I appreciate
that
let's see FS skipper dad my son plays
softball I'm one of the fields there
every week very very cool Charles Harris
you mean to say you can see the Braves
play that other team from up north yes
that other team the Indians go tribe I
want to take a quick look over here then
we'll go inside this building behind me
we can kind of get a sprawling view of
everything obviously I'm not going to
walk down through all these fields
doesn't look like there's much going on
down here but you can get a massive
overview soccer
different baseball fields down here and
this really wraps all the way around
[Music]
got another little stadium back here go
down these steps a little bit
this is crazy
so my last broadcast I was in 60fps and
it was really choppy so how are we
looking right now hopefully it's not as
choppy as it was we're coming with a
clean signal I haven't seen anybody
complaining about it so I think I'll
stick right here at the the 1080p and
the 30 frames seems to work out pretty
well so they had track-and-field down
here as well big soccer stadium down
here
I once I stadium I'm sorry but the big
soccer fields
hey Michael welcome and also Michael
Hall welcome I'll be down there on May
23rd bottling Disney a lot of great
skyliner stuff in Rob's store now yes
been putting up some stuff I wanted to
get everything up before I really push
it all out for you guys to see but
modeling Disney has just done some
wondrous wondrous things with the the
sky liner stuff the gondolas so
definitely check that stuff out I'll put
some stuff out on Facebook and all that
but very very cool stuff Frank I hate
from Connecticut
Michael that section of walkway that was
closed off the other day was where they
had filmed yeah it's where they filmed
the the gondola
so I basically missed you know the the
unveiling of that gondola this Orlando
Sentinel was there and obviously Disney
put out their own video but yeah I
thought about that that's why that
walkway was closed off that it was the
gondola that gondolas been sitting there
since months and months and months ago
it's one of the first gondolas they
actually had here on property the one
they showed off it's one that was always
covered with the the tarp over pop
century and that's the one that they
pulled out and they had the sidewalk
closed and that's where they did the
unveiling and let you know Orlando
Sentinel go through it and all that so
kind of a bummer that I didn't get to
check that out but as time goes on we'll
definitely have more experiences and
we'll be able to see more but it's cool
that Disney finally released that video
so we can see the interior and see
actually what it looks like inside and I
think it looks really really cool I love
it even has a little skyline or tag on
the inside as well it's a little
skyliner nameplate so very very cool
stuff
street cred street cred oh yeah the
store
Modelling Disney been making a list of
goodies to purchase for me I mean for my
boys yeah definitely there's some very
very cool stuff and they're really
awesome stuff also check out Modelling
disney has his own stuff as well he does
the the blueprints and the schematics
for Disney attractions mr. Toad's Wild
Ride the Haunted Mansion the castle
stuff like that I can check him out of
modeling Disney comm there's also some
stuff on the website as well
passport to the parks comm you can see
one of his little ads that'll take you
over to his stuff really really talented
guy so be sure to check all his stuff
out we're gonna head inside in this
building over here I guess there's some
kind of a
like a peewee basketball tournament or
something going on in here
[Music]
the Visa Athletic Center they're not
quite sure if we can get in there we'll
give that a shot but I'm gonna try this
building here to my right
[Music]
this is pretty awesome
[Music]
oh they have a full-fledged basketball
arena in here I truly did not realize
everything that they have going on in
here see if I can find a good view
[Music]
[Applause]
Charles there's only one real baseball
team and they are in Atlanta
the rest are wannabes oh hey you guys
you guys beat the 95 Indians dream team
so I'll give you that nothing beats the
tribe though
Scot you play basketball here 15 years
ago this should bring back some memories
for you then they must they hold
concerts and stuff in here you can see
how the lighting rigs so very a very
multi-purpose area
[Music]
[Music]
[Applause]
[Applause]
we know it's might have the next little
LeBron James in here somewhere
I see you number 23 down there right now
that crazy guy you got to bring up the
David Justice solo home run thank you
so I can get some photos done in here as
well
well this is cool you can actually have
your photo put on like a basketball or
baseball Cup whatever you want to do
soccer balls that's a cool idea that's a
really nice momento especially if you
play the game here
[Music]
well this is definitely a good change of
pace from hanging out in the parks
especially if you're just a sports fan
in general just heading here you can
check out some games you can kind of
bounce around from game to game if you
want you watch some baseball some
basketball
head down on the soccer fields this is
kind of a cool view you can actually see
the the Tower of Terror in the distance
and the the top of the dolphin to see if
I'm assuming that you get to see that
that's pretty awesome it's one great
thing about Disney property is there's
always views very cool views of
different things going on this would be
a nice spot even if you're sitting here
watching maybe a night game you'd be
able to see the fireworks coming up from
Hollywood Studios in Epcot you probably
even see the Magic Kingdom ones in the
distance
Todd that used to be the training
facility for the Harlem Globetrotters
several years ago no more though that's
I didn't know that that was that would
have been written sweet
I love the Harlem Globetrotters I saw
them one time and that was extremely
entertaining to watch them Theresa I was
just there in February for twirl mania
yeah that's got to be the kind of stuff
they they hold here cheer dance twirling
I'm not quite sure what the twirling
would be what torille mania is but it
sounds like something that would fit
into that category
Josh a amazing view of the the Tower of
Terror down there Victoria that's so
cool personalized of basketball yeah I
really like that idea this guy you love
watching all the videos thank you for
being here
much appreciate it for the compliment
David don't forget to like what you are
seeing absolutely hit that like button
if you liked hanging out here Nick
welcome hello
Theresa yeah it was super crowded yeah I
know once you get a lot of the cheer and
the dance especially in the all-stars I
mean there's like thousands of people
that come down when you know they have
these competitions and stuff a really
really big here for that which is which
is awesome I mean once-in-a-lifetime
experience sometimes when you come down
and you get to perform in these kind of
arenas these kind of stadiums you know
it's definitely nothing like you're
going to do in high school
this is the ESPN grill wow this is like
a full-fledged restaurant here this is
pretty cool
there's the grill Express
it's like they got some drinks or some
pizza I'm sure for different events they
have more stuff more food looks like a
lot of different places to order food
over here but you can kind of come in
here and there's all kinds of different
screens different games going on
we got the freestyle machines over here
that's cool
nice big screens you can check out
whatever game there's my Cleveland
Browns right there look at that
[Music]
at Cleveland Browns schedule second half
of that schedule they're going to go
seven in one second half of the year
[Music]
Braun's are coming
[Music]
got more print-on-demand stuff here
field hockey track and field gymnastics
lacrosse cheer martial arts this is all
the stuff that they have here softball
baseball football wrestling basketball
volleyball soccer that's awesome
then you get two different personalized
stuff it looks like gets your name put
on different keychains wristbands those
kind of things hello
[Music]
a little bit of merch over here practice
like a champion who's the leader of the
club I like to practice like a champion
thing that's pretty cool
it's got sport goofy on there you got it
oh look it's this will run for dole whip
I love it
[Music]
so not sure what's going on back here
this is that Visa Center I don't know if
it's open or if there's anything going
on
Gregg there's a Wide World of Sports
channel and the resorts I think that
shows the games going on there I didn't
know that that's cool so they live
broadcast from the games maybe to the
resorts that would be a cool idea
like they're shooting some kind of
little promo down here
I'm sure they do all kinds of cool stuff
here for the teams
[Music]
visa athletic center
[Music]
hello how are you is this open is there
anything going on in here
okay what are they holding here
basketball we have gymnastics it goes on
in there okay kind of like the other one
over here yeah okay cool I've been here
in such a long time I'm just walking
around taking all that yeah it's pretty
awesome thank you get another shot over
here now that's a camera rig right there
that's awesome that's definitely
something you're not taking inside the
park
try to get away from some of this music
so YouTube doesn't ding me penalize me
beautiful shots here
all right shoe cred I used to race for a
team in Chicago doing track and erasing
fixed-gear a while back that'd be
awesome if they had velodrome not quite
sure what that is I'm sorry
street cred do they have cycling here -
I didn't see cycling on that board it
seems like they listed pretty much all
the sports they do here I don't know if
they'd have an actual cycling track I
don't see anything out there I mean it's
very possible
[Music]
cool off with some refreshing pineapple
soft-serve that's some pretty good
it's like how they got all the screens
and stuff around nothing Joffrey's
coffee
[Music]
take a walk down here it looks like the
other side of the complex probably more
fields of some sort while we're here I
might as well check it out so this is
gonna be the back side of the side of
the the baseball arena stadium now it
wouldn't be an arena it'd be a stadium
[Music]
[Music]
Zachary can you go for Disneyworld bus
ride to the Magic Kingdom and take a
resort monorail ride please
unfortunately won't have time to do that
today I can always fit a monorail ride
in somewhere in the near future for you

daughter from school
always got to do that around 2:00 2:30
everyday got to get her picked up from
school being a dad kind of comes first
it looks like we got soccer fields down
here
it's the other side of the stadium
let's see yeah it looks like I got time
let's take a walk down here
and
this place is big it might be kind of
difficult if you're actually having a
team play here I kind of figure out
where you need to go I'm sure they have
a map layout but
it's a very big place a lot of different
areas to be hi good how are you oh thank

just I walk around the resorts in the
parks and stuff like that yeah it's been
quite a while a little bit last time I
saw a Cleveland Indians Atlanta Braves
