I have been to the arena numerous times in the past few years.. Great venue.. Over priced but clean and fun.. The past few mos the food in the Flagship and loges has gone down significantly.. Not so fine dining more fast food and tasteless.. Best to get food and drinks before the game/ show.. I don't know what happened... More

Have attended two concerts (Radiohead and Marc Anthony) here and also a Miami Heat game. Great venue: comfortable, good food, easy access in otherwise crowded downtown Miami.

We had a blast at the game, arena is great! Took a taxi back to the Marriott for $4 from the game, staying downtown is a great choice if you are going to the Arena.

We purchased tickets last minute thru stub hub. GREAT PURCHASE! We had a ball. The preshow was amazing. The only con is that most of the vendors do not accept credit cards. On the 2nd level, we only found one ATM.

Visited a Heat game, had a fun time. Speedy security check, not too crowded inside at the facilities (a lot of places to buy drinks and food, clean toilets). We parked at the other side of the street, at the Bayside Marketplace ($15) 2 hours in advance. Had dinner there and strolled around. My tip: have a drink at the... More

I will never forget the introduction of the Miami Heat line-up. It was explosive and the crowd was electric. The price for food and beverages were unexpectedly less expensive than other places. Transportation to and from the arena was fairly easy and inexpensive. I will plan to see another Heat game.

Visited the Arena for the Heat game and Taylor Swift concert last week. Compared to some Chicago venues, this place was cleaner, and more friendly, with pretty good views from all around. Lots of food choices but typical vendor apathy.
