Nov. 16, 2011 | WMFE - Orlando's chances of hosting the 2012 NBA Allstar game are looking more slim as the league's lock-out continues this week. The rest of the Orlando Magic's season also looks increasingly at risk. The lock-out puts a focus on the high-tech Amway Center just one year after its opening. This week on "Intersection" 90.7's Mark Simpson asked Orlando Mayor Buddy Dyer about the lock-out's impact on the city. Dyer says Amway Center vendors and small business owners surrounding the arena stand to be the hardest-hit by the lock-out, but that the city actually comes out ahead.
