The only thing shocking about this situation is that they thought it would be a success.

The NBA practically prints money. Whatever this place loses, won't matter one bit.

I think you are right... This was just a bad idea from the start...They should have moved the ESPN ZONE restaurant into that space and put something more appropriate at the Boardwalk...Though I suppose with NBA they did not have to pay for it or run it...So there is that...They need something really amazing on that side of the Springs... Like a Jekyll and Hide Club or something equally theatrical...

I feel like this will be free as part of a ticket deal or on higher tier APs by the end of the year.

Or just updated DQ. Good grief, that would've been so much better.
yep I think that sums it up. It doesn't need to be making a fortune, and its operating costs are relatively low.
Yes its being looked at for integration into packages.

My sister plays basketball as I mentioned and enjoyed it and would definitely go if it was offered as a part of an AP... which would also bring in a few others with her.

Didn't they give some lame reason for getting rid of Disney Quest? Like it was something that no longer fit with Disney Spring's new theme. Even though they still have T-Rex, Rainforest, La Nouba and now a modern looking NBA Stadium in it's place.
The new Disney Springs is geared to high end shopping and eating. Playing video games from the 1980s did not fit in. And the Disney Quest brand name failed. Opened up other locations in other cities which failed and closed.

Disney decided they didn’t want to run venues themselves anymore and just collect rent from third parties instead.
It makes business sense to run with third parties staff. If staff get hurt in the job, Disney does not have to pay for their medical bills or rehab. That's the third parties problem.

NBA experience cast are Disney employees and the venue is operated by Disney.
