Miami is one of the most vibrant cities in the United States. It attracts hordes of tourists due to its fantastic year-round sun-drenched climate, world-class beaches, vibrant nightlife and some of the best dining destinations in the U.S. Add to this the attractions of the great beachfront with its iconic art deco architecture and the lure of enjoying a cocktail overlooking the Atlantic Ocean at places like ‘Sugar’, where the rooftop bar offers unparalleled vistas of delight from 40 stories up – and one begins to understand the lure of Miami.

But Miami is also a place that rewards those who have an interest in sports – and one of the premier locations in the city to take in some of the best sporting spectacles in the U.S. is the FTX Arena which can be found at 601 Biscayne Blvd, Miami, FL 33132. The Arena (which opened on December 31, 1999) is home to the well respected Miami Heat basketball team. But it is not only basketball that draws the crowds to the FTX Arena. Aside from the undeniable pleasure of watching The Heat, the venue also plays host to over 80 non-sports related events every year. It is the perfect place to host conferences and exhibitions. It is also where those who call Miami home (and visitors to the city) will find international and local entertainers strutting their stuff.

There are a number of reasons that the Arena continues to draw the crowds – and attracts event organizers in search of the perfect Miami venue. It boasts 20,000 seats and a number of spaces that are suitable for a variety of functions.
