Throughout history there have been many significant arenas and stadiums. In the modern day, there are a few arenas that can even rival those of legend; the AAA could be one such place.

Background

The arena was built at a cost more than two-hundred-million dollars in 1999. There are more than two-thousand club seats, eighty luxury suites, and seventy-six private boxes available at the arena. Florida’s largest theatre, the Waterfront Theater, is also housed within the arena, boasting a maximum capacity of five thousand eight hundred.

Sports

The AAA is home to the Miami Heat NBA team, and therefore features many notable basketball matches. In addition to basketball the arena has featured some notable UFC tournaments as well.

Music

The range of artists and bands that have taken the stage at AAA are astonishing, and feature names such as Tina Turner, U2, Maroon 5 and Shakira. If you’re staying at a South Beach Miami hotel situated nearby such as COMO Metropolitan Miami Beach be sure to check if there are any shows happening.

Parking and Transport

When big events happen, traffic congestion is inevitable. While there is parking available, the prices associated with them are quite high. The most feasible option therefore would be to use the metro-rail. The Metromover is free and can be utilised at the Government Center Station.
