Here is a latest look at The NBA Experience at Disney Springs, opening August 12 2019 on the West Side.

Much of the exterior is now complete, with these latest pictures showing that the large black LED billboard is now in place along the full width of the building.

The City Works restaurant that was set to open alongside The NBA Experience has been delayed, and will now open towards the end of the year.

You know, I feel like its the most likely, that or it becomes another space for disney merch (but personally I'd take another crack at an arcade).

All the Deluxe Resorts used to have these kids clubs...which made so much sense. Miss them,!

I was curious, so I did a bit of research. Sounds like it's a licensing deal: "The 10-year, $1.5 billion deal with ESPN gives PENN access to ESPN personalities and channels, which include live sports, studio shows, and written articles." https://sportshandle.com/penn-2023-q2-earnings-espn-bet/

I'm not privy to their contract talks, but I would assume there's some level of revenue sharing involved.

Ah ok. So partial ownership but no revenue sharing?
