You can watch a replay of the entire game if you have a subscription to ESPN+. You can watch the Magic's championship ceremony here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x7G0-ouUtdc. Stan Heath was the coach of the 2021 championship team. He coached Lakeland from 2017 to 2021. Before becoming head coach of the Magic, he was a fairly successful college coach. That's where I remember him from. Heath led 10th-seeded Kent State to the 2002 Elite Eight. One of his sons, Josh Heath, played three seasons at Georgia Tech (my school). After winning the 2021 G League championship, Stan Heath has returned to the college ranks. He was hired to be the head coach at his alma mater, Eastern Michigan. Class of 2019 Princeton alum Devin Cannady was named 2021 G League Finals MVP. Shortly afterwards, he signed contracts with the Orlando Magic and appeared in eight games in the NBA before injuring his right ankle. Former NBA and European pro basketball player Anthony Parker has managed the Lakeland Magic since 2017. I remember Anthony Parker best for his time with the Cleveland Cavaliers. His first year in Cleveland was LeBron James' last (of James' first stint with the Cavs). He was a significant contributor to that Cavs team that lost in the 2010 Eastern Conference Semifinals to the Boston Celtics. LeBron then left for Miami and the rest is history. The Magic have been successful since moving to Lakeland, outside of Tampa, in 2017. The team has qualified for the playoffs every year since they've been in Lakeland. They won the Southeast Division in 2019 and made it to the Eastern Conference Finals that year. This team used to be the Erie BayHawks of Erie, Pennsylvania (2008-2017). A new Erie BayHawks team was formed in 2019 and, only after a couple of years, was moved to Birmingham, Alabama. The Lakeland Magic officially own the original Erie BayHawks' franchise history.

It was an excellent experience although the stadium was not well attended as it was Wednesday. We found that the management and banquet team and all associates were welcoming and very astute in ensuring that our needs were met. It was very clean and a fun experience for our team. This was an A+ experience and I would recommend this type of event to other companies that want to have outings at the stadium.

This honestly is an amazing family friendly atmosphere that if you enjoy being outside and baseball you will not be disappointed. Everything is very reasonably priced and they are always running specials such as the game we went to tonight where every seat in the park was five dollars. The only reason I did not give it five stars was because the bathroom wasn't very clean but then again what do you really expect at a baseball stadium. Also the food is a little bit pricey. I believe a hotdog was $5 and I got a chicken nugget basket with french fries and a drink and that was $12. So if you're a big family I would definitely suggest grabbing something before going to the game as far as food goes, but overall it's definitely a great experience On a sidenote, I believe the 2019 season is the last year they will be in Kissimmee, so make sure you check the website to see where their new home is going to be.

Yes indeed, another excellent minor league baseball experience at The Jack…read more This time it was Christmas in July night which is something that could only exist in minor league baseball. So cheesy that it was a melt but all good fun with the giving out of prizes every half inning and some fun nonsense with Shelldon. No seat is a bad seat, well maybe with the exception of baking out in the sun on the 3B side bleachers or if you're lucky enough to get stuck behind one of the posts that supports the roof, and since attendance is always seemingly miserable you can score great seats at the last minute. The food selections are basic (some minor league parks really have expanded and bougified their offerings) but here it's still your basic dogs, burgers, pretzels, chicken fingers, funnel cake fries that make up the back bone of the menu. The good thing is that prices across the board are very reasonable and the surroundings are small/informal enough that the friendliness of the staff really shines through. The Tortugas won and we saw some good pitching from Daytona along with two home runs. Sure there were also a few mental lapses from St. Lucie that equaled two errors but it was still a solid game. Good pricing, super easy to do everything from park, get tickets, find your seat, etc. All in all a great time. Definitely a must do!

They have a whole dessert room! Crumbl cookies in boxes ready to grab, macarons, candy in jars, candy bars, cupcakes etc. They have a bar with an amazing cocktail menu- and it's all included. I had so many of their craft cocktails, which come in collectible tumblers that you can keep! They ran out of one of the styles towards the end of the game so if you're trying to kart a set- order quick and early. There was rarely any line at the bar. Those two bartenders kept it moving. Our seat attendant even brought me a Winn Dixie bag at the end of the game so I could take my souvenir glasses home. We had dinner in the lounge. They had everything from San Cocho to Sushi to bbq ribs. I even had a slice of pizza and a small Cuban, chicken wings, a soft pretzel and so much more. They had more cookies and pastries in their dessert buffet but we were too stuffed. They have a bar up there as well. Everything was included with our ticket. We sat behind home plate in the 6th row. It was nice having an attendant at our seats. Of course they work for tips but you never miss a second of the game when she's hustling to bring you another cocktail or some popcorn etc. I'm pretty simple- my favorite parts of the game are popcorn, hot dog, soft pretzel and being able to see close calls like pitches or the first base line outs. This experience was definitely exceeding my expectation. I hear they're getting a new stadium. That would certainly upgrade its appearance. But once you're inside, you really forget that this place is so ugly on the outside. It was a great game. Tampa bay won. We had a ton of food and drinks and the staff were so helpful and friendly. We will be back!
