The American Airlines Arena is located on the
Biscayne Bay waterfront in downtown Miami Florida.
It is near Bayfront Park and just across the street
from the Bayside Marketplace shopping mall and
small boat harbor. The area is most well-known as a
concert venue and the stadium where the home games
of the Miami HEAT basketball team are played.
The first event held at the American
Airlines Arena was a Gloria Estefan concert
on December 31, 1999. Gloria and her husband
Emilio are the owners of Bongos Cuban Cafe
which is located next to the stadium.
The American Airlines Arena was designed by Arquitectonica
and 360 Architecture and it was built in 1999 as a replacement
for now mostly inactive Miami Arena, which is located
about three blocks away. American Airlines paid $42 million
for the right have the new stadium named after them for a 20
year period. There is a giant aircraft painted on top
of the arena which can be seen from planes flying in and out
of Miami International Airport.
