About Kaseya Center

The stadium opened in 1999 and hosted the Miami Heat and Miami Sol. Now just the Miami Heat play here.  After years of being known as American Airlines Arena, arena sponsorship issues occurred after signing a deal with Crypto company, FTX.  The sponsorship was dropped in early 2023 and replaced by Kaseya in April 2023.

Fan Tips

Kaseya Center brings a waterfront setting to the NBA experience, giving Miami Heat games a unique backdrop in the heart of downtown. The arena blends modern design with a strong South Florida vibe.

Located along Biscayne Bay, the venue is easily accessible by car, rideshare, and public transit, with a walkable downtown location.

The seating bowl keeps fans engaged, especially in lower sections where the energy builds during big moments.

Concessions reflect Miami’s diverse food scene, with a mix of international flavors and elevated options.

After the game, the surrounding downtown and waterfront areas offer plenty of nightlife and entertainment options.
