Amerant Bank Arena

Game-day arena. No public skate.

NHL main bowl rink (200x85)

Home team. Florida Panthers (NHL)

Tickets. 300-level seats roughly $40–80, lower bowl ~$100–150 (2025). Youth hockey programs: Mites on Ice (2nd-intermission scrimmage), Junior Pro anthem package (ages 6–14 on the blueline), Rink Rewards reduced-price tickets for the youth skating community, and team outing packages. Kids Day and Hockey Holidays theme nights in 2025–26.

Best seats. Sightlines are strong even in the 300 level, which is the family value pick; for warmups, aim for lower-bowl seats near the Panthers' end and arrive when doors open.

Public skate. No regular public sessions. Teams/groups can rent non-game-day ice (practice, scrimmage, free skate, party) through the Panthers' Rent NHL Ice program; 'Rink of Dreams' sells 60 minutes of private ice on a game day.

Today’s ice schedule ↗

• Florida Panthers (NHL)

Cashless; three food courts per level (BBQ, Nashville hot chicken, poutine, ice cream) plus Cuban sandwiches and craft beer. Roughly $10 hot dog, $23 burger-and-fries; budget $25–40 per person.

On-site A and D lots run about $40–50 + tax for Panthers games (2025 reviews cite $35–40); cheaper if prepaid on SeatGeek. Lots open about 2 hours before puck drop. Lyft drop-off at Gate 3 / North Pedestrian Walkway.

• Buy parking ahead of time through SeatGeek or the arena site; it is quicker at the gate and usually cheaper than paying on arrival. source
• Doors open about an hour before puck drop, and there is no re-entry, so plan snacks, bathroom breaks and gear before you go in. source
• There is no evening rail or bus service to the arena; plan on driving or rideshare, and come in on I-595 to NW 136th Ave rather than the toll Sawgrass Expressway, which jams at rush hour. source
• Check the current bag rules before you leave; a 2025 guide describes a clear-bag requirement (max 12x6x12 in.) with small clutches allowed. source
• Youth teams can apply to play a short scrimmage during an intermission or get a kid on the blueline for the anthem through the Panthers' amateur hockey programs. Request info early in the season. source
