Hey Thrill Seekers,
2, 4, 6, 8… somethingy, something I am great… Yey! Goooooo me.
As you can tell I’m a world-class cheerleader so you can imagine how delighted I was to read that Disney submitted plans for a new 286,000 square foot venue specifically for cheerleading and dance.
Construction begins this month with completion scheduled for mid-2017. Disney is teaming with the cheerleading organization Varsity Spirit to create the space.
The Disney Press release stated;
The building will include a flexible design for one large competition space that can be set up for as many as four competition areas
There will also be areas tailored for warm-up and practice.
With seating for more than 8,000 people, the new multi-use building could also host six regulation basketball courts, six regulation volleyball courts, or concerts.
The resort currently hosts cheerleading competitions in other venues at its sports complex and at Disney’s Hollywood Studios. The new space will allow Disney to bring in more competitions as the sport grows.
The new facility “will be a model for cheerleading and dance team competitions,” Maribeth Bisienere, senior vice president of ESPN Wide World of Sports, said in a press release. “We value our young athletes and want to give these incredible guests an experience that can only be achieved at Disney.”
Smiles included…
Jamie
