BankAtlantic Center | |
|
Completed in 1998, the BankAtlantic Center managed to lure away the Florida Panthers from their home at Miami Arena to a quiet suburb of Ft. Lauderdale. Impressive enough, it attracts plenty of special events and concerts. Gwen Stefani, U2 and Barbara Streisand have all performed here. Due to its central location in the Miami/Ft. Lauderdale/West Palm Beach area, the venue gets an enormous amount of bookings every year. |

Dolphin Stadium | |
|
As home to both the Miami Dolphins and the Florida Marlins, Dolphin Stadium sees plenty of action all year long. Contrary to popular belief, the stadium is located in the northwestern suburb of Miami Gardens, not the actual city of Miami. In reality Miamians have to drive 16 miles from Downtown Miami to reach the venue. Despite its far location, the stadium is home to numerous events including the FedEx Orange Bowl and has hosted numerous Super Bowls and World Series. It also dubs as a concert venue from time to time. U2, The Police, Gloria Estefan and Paul McCartney have all packed the venue. |
