FLORIDA PANTHERS HOME GETS NEW NAME
SUNRISE, Fla. – The Florida Panthers and Amerant Bank, the largest community bank headquartered in Florida, jointly announced today that the new home for Panthers hockey and premier entertainment in Broward County will be Amerant Bank Arena.
“After a comprehensive search with WME Sports over the past year, we felt expanding our experienced and successful partnership with Amerant Bank would be the best business decision to align with both our goals of delivering first-class customer service and serving our local South Florida community,” said Panthers President & CEO Matt Caldwell. “We are grateful to Jerry Plush and the entire Amerant Bank leadership for their investment and shared commitment to South Florida and to the Florida Panthers, as well as the governments of Broward County and the City of Sunrise who worked with us to ensure a premier partnership.”
Both the Panthers and Amerant Bank, as the community bank of Broward, Miami Dade and Palm Beach counties, are committed to working together to give back to South Florida. Amerant Bank currently has four Broward County branches with another opening soon in Downtown Ft. Lauderdale, an operations center in Miramar, and recently announced a Broward County Regional Headquarters in Plantation.
Amerant Bank will continue their entitlement of the premium center-ice seating area ‘Amerant Vault’ and remain a supporting partner of the Panthers Kids Club and youth hockey initiatives.
Amerant Bank Arena is the home of Florida Panthers hockey, concert headliners including Elton John, Harry Styles, Billboard Latin Music Awards, Luke Combs, and Aerosmith, as well as family events such as Monster Jam, Disney on Ice, Ringling Bros and more. Additionally, the venue has played host to the 2001 and 2015 National Hockey League Drafts and the 2003 and 2023 NHL All-Star Game, as well as acting as the annual home for Y100 Jingle Ball and AutoNation Orange Bowl Basketball Classic.
