Located just south of MGM, the World Wide World of Sports is a state-of-the-art sports facility that is spread out over 200 acres. There's a 7,500-seat baseball stadium and a multi-sport 5,000-seat field house that can accommodate basketball, volleyball, tennis, weight lifting, and gymnastics competitions.
You might not notice some of the amenities of the park if you only walk through the complex. It is not until you visit the facility as a spectator or athlete that you realize Disney's many achievements. One such subtle achievement is the fact that 80 percent of the baseball stadium's seats are between first and third base. Since the Atlanta Braves use the facility for spring training, you can get up close to real major league ball. Another treat for fans is that the last row of seats in the Field House is only 35 feet off ground level.
Some of the large, national competitions and uses for the sports complex are Atlanta Braves spring training, the PGA's National Car Rental Golf Classic at Walt Disney World Resort, Harlem Globetrotters Basketball, and the Walt Disney World Marathon. The complex is also home to the Amateur Athletic Union (AAU).
The facility's seating will make you feel like part of the action, but if that's not enough try the NFL Experience. You'll feel like you're in rookie training camp as instructors test your ability in various football skills competitions.
You can also do some shopping after taking in the game. There are stores that sell team and sports clothing as well as a large branch of the Official All-Star Cafe.
