First-time visitor tips for Amerant Bank Arena in Sunrise: where it is, how parking works, what bags are allowed, how entry and screening work, and where to get accessibility help. Event policies can change, so always check the official page for your specific event before you go.
Where Amerant Bank Arena is located
Amerant Bank Arena is at 1 Panther Parkway, Sunrise, Florida 33323. The venue’s official plan-your-visit page places the arena in Sunrise and notes that Sunrise is west of Fort Lauderdale and north of Miami. For a first visit, use the official directions page rather than a map pin alone, especially if your event has special traffic instructions.
Parking basics for a first visit
Parking rules depend on the event. Check the official directions and parking page for the price that applies to your game or show. Guest parking for people with disabilities is available for all events on a first-come, first-served basis. Because policies can change by event, check the official directions and parking page for your specific show or game before leaving home.
What to know before you enter
Amerant Bank Arena is cashless and does not have ATMs inside the building, so plan to pay by card. Guests are subject to search when entering, and entry can be denied if someone refuses inspection. The arena also has no re-entry or in-and-out privilege, so once you are inside, plan to stay in for the rest of the event.
Bag policy and what to bring
The arena does not permit backpacks, backpack purses, cinch bags or sling bags. Small clutches and purses up to 4 inches by 6 inches by 1.5 inches are allowed. Bag lockers are available outside the main entrance at the bottom of the Publix Plaza stairs, which can help if you arrive with a restricted bag. For drinks, the venue says that for most events one sealed bottle of water per person is allowed, but that policy can change by event. Outside food and beverages are generally prohibited, so check your event page if you are unsure about a specific item.
Food and drink inside the arena
If you are planning to eat inside, the arena says it has three food courts on each of the Plaza and Upper Levels, plus dining patios near Sections 105 and 130. Credit cards are accepted at all concession stands and portable food and beverage stands. Since the arena is cashless, card payment is the practical default for concessions and most purchases inside.
Accessibility help and contacts
If you need accessibility support, the arena lists guestexperience@floridapanthers.com for accessibility questions and 954-835-7000 for ADA questions. The A-Z guide also says accessible seating can be purchased through SeatGeek or by calling 954-835-SHOW (7469). If you need a disability parking or seating plan, contact the venue before the event and check the official accessibility page for the latest instructions.
A simple first-visit plan
For a smooth first trip, use the official directions page before you leave, arrive early enough to handle parking and screening, and travel light with a small allowed bag or none at all. Bring a card, not cash. If you are attending a game or show with a different policy, follow the official event page because parking, water and other entry rules can vary. That approach covers the main friction points first-time visitors usually run into at Amerant Bank Arena.
