The Venue
Situated on prime bay-front land in downtown Miami, the venue hosts the Miami Heat and Miami Sol basketball teams and also offers a number of concerts throughout the year. Its luxury sky boxes, clear sight lines and acoustics make it one of the prime places to catch an entertainment event.
The Experience
The arena's maximum capacity is 19,600 for basketball, with slightly fewer seats for concerts. Fans will not only enjoy events, but also the spectacular views of the bay and Miami Beach skyline from public areas. Concessionaires include popular local restaurants such as People's BBQ, and you can also grab a bite at Bongos, a Cuban restaurant owned by Gloria and Emilio Estefan.

Chalk up another nice venue for sports. The Heat game was fun, every seat was a good one. The fan support was continuous, and the announcer was funny. Heat TV was fun to pass the time before tip-off, and the pre-game introductions were awesome. Pyrotechnics were very cool to see in person.

Look Good:
Smoking isn't allowed in the venue, but you can light up out in the East Plaza or the upper deck balconies. They are outdoors but still inside the venue (so you don't have to reshow your ticket).
