Residents and visitors alike have come to know Fort Lauderdale’s BankAtlantic Center as an outstanding entertainment venue that’s “the center of it all”, as the arena’s slogan promises.
That’s right, the BankAtlantic Center is the home of the Florida Panthers ice hockey team as well as a favored venue for top concerts and other entertainment acts in Broward County. Built in 1998 as the hockey team’s home, the center has become a complete entertainment venue that welcomes big-name acts as well as gatherings from major corporate events to intimate receptions.
When it’s not hosting the Panthers and their opponents on the ice, the center welcomes such notable ice shows as Olympic Skaters and Disney on Ice. Anyone who loves the grace and beauty of skating, along with the spectacle of showmanship, will enjoy these programs. In addition, the BankAtlantic Center is regular concert venue for a wide array of popular stars such as Bon Jovi, Eric Clapton, Taylor Swift and Michael Buble.
And what crowds they could be! There’s theater-style seating enough to hold around 20,000 people for hockey games and major concerts, while 12 other function areas and rooms wait to accommodate all kinds of events. Any size and type of gathering could find a place at BankAtlantic Center, from the 500-person capacity of the BankAtlantic Chairman’s Club all the way down to a small party suite big enough for 16 people. Meetings, reunions, receptions of any size can be held in places from the Budweiser Terrace to the Everglades Room and Sawgrass Room. This flexibility is one of the many attributes that make the center a prime gathering spot for any occasion.
