American Airlines Arena Does a Top Flight Transformation
It's a bird. It's a plane. No, it's the roof of American Airlines Arena, the home of the National Basketball Associations' (NBA) Miami Heat. American Airlines' $42-million naming deal granted it the right to paint a giant aircraft with its logo on top of American Airlines Arena's roof. American Airlines Arena isn't the only hot commodity that seems like it's taking flight on the bay. The Miami Heat have been picking up steam, winning five division titles since 1997.
Sometimes called the "Triple-A," American Airlines Arena has a seating capacity of 19,600 for Miami Heat basketball games. A steep seating configuration in the lower bowl and 42 percent of seating placed at sidecourt, intensifies the basketball experience at this $175 million arena. Built in 1999, American Airlines Arena can be configured five ways to seat between 3,000 and 20,000 people and adapt to a variety of events. The Waterfront Theater, a theater within the arena, is Florida's largest theater and can be used for concerts, family events, and Broadway-style stage shows. Ceiling-to-floor acoustic curtains, carpeted aisles, beautiful chandeliers, a proscenium stage, and theatrical lighting transform American Airlines Arena into an intimate venue for shows drawing up to 5,800 guests. A Gloria Estefan concert opened American Airlines Arena. Since then, an eclectic collection of events including the Rolling Stones, U2, Julio Iglesias, Phish, Bette Midler, Britney Spears, Paul McCartney, The Wiggles, WWE Royal Rumble, Premio Lo Nuestro, Disney on Ice, and Barnum & Bailey Circus have entertained masses at American Airlines Arena. It was also the site of the 2004 and 2005 MTV Video Music Awards.
American Airlines Arena is the former home of the Women's National Basketball Association's (WNBA) Miami Sol which folded in 2002. American Airlines Arena includes a multiple purpose practice court and an unusual scoreboard that changes colors to suit the atmosphere. The arena's luxury skyboxes, dubbed "Flagship Lounges," continue the airline theme of American Airlines Arena's namesake. But that isn't the only theme. A view of the bay helps American Airlines Arena emphasize its tropical outdoor setting. True to the area's heritage, American Airlines Arena's concession stands feature Cuban delicacies, conch fritters, and seafood in addition to the traditional stadium fare.
