ESPN ZONE


Inside the ESPN Zone, guests can watch sporting events, eat at the Studio Grill and try out the latest interactive sports games in the Sports Arena.

Last year, ESPN Zones opened in New York and Chicago. ESPN Zone’s distinct mix of sports, dining and entertainment, featuring interactive games and live sports broadcasts, has been enormously popular with sports lovers of all ages in the three cities in which Zones have opened.

Each ESPN Zone has three distinct components. The Studio Grill recreates the electric atmosphere of the ESPN studios and features replicas of sets of ESPN programs such as SportsCenter, NHL 2Night and NBA 2Night. The Screening Room offers the ultimate place to watch televised sporting events from around the world, with state-of-the-art technology, direct audio and video control for all televised games and statistical updates by the minute. Finally, the Sports Arena challenges fans with a variety of interactive and competitive attractions.

All of the ESPN Zones play host to many television and radio broadcasts, such as ESPN’s Sports Reporters and the Monday Night Football half-time show at the New York Zone.

On deck are new ESPN Zones for Atlanta, which will open in time for this year’s Super Bowl; Washington, D.C., coming in March; and Anaheim, which will be part of the new Downtown Disney in early 2001.
 

The ESPN Zone opened on Broadway last year in the heart of Times Square.
