Home of the Florida Panthers

The Amerant Bank Arena has been the proud home of the NHL’s Florida Panthers since 1998. It’s played host to two NHL Entry Drafts (2001 and 2015), as well as the 2023 NHL All-Star Game. The arena also hosted the third and fourth games of the 2023 Stanley Cup Finals, and most recently the first, second, fifth and seventh games of the 2024 Stanley Cup Finals — with the final game seeing the Panthers win the Stanley Cup.

Since Canadian pop star Céline Dion played the venue’s inaugural concert (back when it was the National Car Rental Center), and other world-class touring artists such as Bruce Springsteen, Beyoncé, Billy Joel, Lady Gaga and Garth Brooks have put on shows here. The Amerant Bank Arena has also been the destination for family entertainment like Cirque du Soleil, Disney on Ice and Monster Jam.
