Amerant Bank Arena: South Florida’s Major Indoor Venue

Amerant Bank Arena is located at 1 Panther Parkway in Sunrise, Florida, about 10 miles west of Fort Lauderdale and 30 miles north of downtown Miami. The arena opened in 1998 and holds approximately 19,250 for concerts. It serves as the home of the Florida Panthers NHL team and hosts a full calendar of touring concerts, family shows, and special events. The venue has operated under multiple names including National Car Rental Center, Office Depot Center, BankAtlantic Center, BB&T Center, and FLA Live Arena before its current branding. The arena sits within the Sawgrass Mills shopping and entertainment district, surrounded by restaurants, hotels, and one of the largest outlet malls in the country.

Getting to the Arena & South Florida Tips

Amerant Bank Arena is accessible from I-595, I-75 (Sawgrass Expressway), and US-838 (Sunrise Boulevard). The venue has large on-site parking lots with event rates typically ranging from $25 to $40. The Sawgrass Expressway provides direct access from both Broward and Palm Beach counties, while I-595 connects from the east (Fort Lauderdale Beach area) and I-75 from the south (Miami-Dade). Rideshare drop-offs are organized near the main entrance gates.

The Sawgrass Mills area surrounding the arena has no shortage of dining options, from chain restaurants to local spots along Sunrise Boulevard. For visitors coming from the beach, Fort Lauderdale’s Las Olas Boulevard offers upscale dining and galleries, and the city’s beach strip is one of the best in South Florida. April weather in the area is ideal — expect highs around 83°F with low humidity, making it one of the most pleasant months before summer heat arrives.

Springsteen in South Florida: A Rare Treat

Springsteen tours do not always include Florida dates, making the Amerant Bank Arena stop especially significant for the region’s fans. South Florida’s large population of Northeast transplants — many of whom grew up on Springsteen’s music in New Jersey, New York, and Pennsylvania — brings a hometown energy to these shows that rivals venues in the mid-Atlantic corridor. The combination of devoted diehards and casual fans discovering the live experience for the first time creates an atmosphere that Springsteen has historically fed off of in Florida, delivering some of his most emotionally intense performances in the state.
