Orlando, Fla. (October 11, 2016) – Similar to when Orlando was horrified by the mass murders at the Pulse nightclub in June and then proud of how the city bonded together to unite as one, there figures to be a wide range of powerful emotions tonight at the Amway Center.
Prior to the regular-season-opener against the rival Miami Heat, the Orlando Magic will remember the 49 victims of the deadliest mass shooting in U.S. history and honor the first-responders who prevented further loss of life with a series of tributes.
A No. 49 banner – inscribed with each of the names of the victims – will be raised to the rafters at the Amway Center and a moment of silence will be held as well.
