Amerant Bank Arena is an indoor arena in Sunrise, Florida, that opened in 1998 and serves as the home venue for the NHL’s Florida Panthers. The multipurpose facility hosts professional hockey, concerts, family shows and other large indoor events.

The arena provides a bowl seating layout and multiple premium and general-admission sections; configuration and capacity vary with event type. It is located in the suburban Broward County community of Sunrise and is a regional draw for South Florida sports and entertainment.

Built to modern multipurpose-arena standards at the time of opening, the venue has undergone periodic upgrades to seating, hospitality areas and technical systems to support contemporary productions. The site is adjacent to major road corridors and commercial centres, offering ample parking and event infrastructure.

Geographically the arena is in Sunrise in Broward County, west of Fort Lauderdale and within the Miami metropolitan area, accessible by car and regional transit connections.

• Primary tenant and capacity: Home arena for the NHL’s Florida Panthers, hosting hockey, indoor sports and concerts with a capacity around 20,000 depending on configuration.
• Location and access: Located in the Sunrise area of Broward County, close to the Sawgrass Mills shopping complex and regional road links, making it a regional entertainment hub.

Amerant Bank Arena is in Sunrise (Broward County), northwest of Fort Lauderdale. By car take I‑595, the Sawgrass Expressway (SR 869) or Florida’s Turnpike to the Sunrise/Sawgrass Mills area; the arena is adjacent to the large Sawgrass Mills retail complex and has on‑site/event parking. It’s roughly a 15-25 minute drive from Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport depending on traffic. Broward County Transit operates bus services to the Sawgrass Mills/Sunrise area from Fort Lauderdale and other Broward locations; from the nearest bus drop you’ll have a short walk (usually under 10-15 minutes) to the arena.

• For major events (Panthers games, concerts) plan to arrive at least 60-90 minutes before start time - on-site parking and the adjacent roads around the arena become congested in the final half hour before kickoff and immediately after events.
• Use the arena's official parking lots rather than street parking; during large events staff direct traffic to lots and entry gates, which is quicker than hunting for curbside spots and avoids long post-show exit queues.
• If you need to avoid the biggest crowds, target midweek events or less-promoted concerts rather than weekend headline shows - those typically draw the largest coach and tailgate crowds.
