Kaseya Center (formerly American Airlines Arena, FTX Arena, and Miami-Dade Arena) is a multi-purpose arena located along Biscayne Bay in Miami, Florida and currently named by the company Kaseya.
Construction began on February 6, 1998, for Miami Arena's replacement venue. As the home arena for the Miami Heat of the National Basketball Association, it was designed by the architecture firms Arquitectonica and 360 Architecture.
The arena is directly served by the Miami Metrorail at Government Center station via free transfers to Metromover Omni Loop, providing direct service to Freedom Tower and Park West stations. It is also within walking distance from the Historic Overtown/Lyric Theatre Metrorail station.
The arena has 2,105 club seats, 80 luxury suites, and 76 private boxes. The Waterfront Theater, Florida's largest theater, is housed within the arena and seats between 3,000 and 5,800 patrons. The theater can be configured for concerts, family events, musical theatre and other stage shows. American Airlines, which has a hub at Miami International Airport, maintains a travel center at the venue.
In September 2019, it was reported that the arena would have a new name in 2020. In March 2021, FTX, a cryptocurrency exchange, acquired the naming rights to the arena for $135 million. The NBA approved the deal in early April, and the arena was fully renamed to FTX Arena in June 2021. Following the bankruptcy of FTX in November 2022, the deal was terminated, effective January 2023. After three months under the temporary name Miami-Dade Arena, a 17-year naming rights agreement was reached with Miami-based software company Kaseya, becoming the Kaseya Center in April 2023.
