ORLANDO MAGIC VS. MIAMI HEAT PRESEASON GAME CANCELLED
Dear Basketball Fans,
This evening, an NBA preseason game between the Miami Heat and the Orlando Magic was cancelled due to a playing surface that was deemed unplayable. The combination of back to back events in our facility and the wrong cleaning solution applied to the floor when it was last used several months ago resulted in playing conditions that were not commensurate with NBA standards and the world class players who play the game. While some felt the court was indeed playable, our sole focus was player safety and leaving nothing to risk.
We sincerely apologize to those fans who were inconvenienced. We also pledge that the new team leading this enterprise will use this unfortunate event as motivation to drive our passion of operating a world class arena, which delivers world class events for the Tampa Bay community.
Refunds will be made to all ticket buyers at point of purchase. More information is attached. Again, we sincerely apologize for this inconvenience to sports and entertainment fans in the Tampa Bay area.
Sincerely,
Tod Leiweke
CEO
St. Pete Times Forum
& Tampa Bay Lightning
