If you don’t expect to find an ultra-luxury experience tucked inside an entertainment arena, then you haven’t been to the FLA Live Arena.
Home of the Florida Panthers, the arena recently introduced two new upscale concepts. Debuting in November, Amerant Vault offers guests the opportunity to enjoy a bountiful buffet and complimentary beer, wine and soda.

The luxury lounge also features center ice seating to take in a game or concert. Accessed by a private entrance, the exclusive area also features private restrooms for ticketed guests.
We recently visited the Amerant Vault (formerly known as Lounge 954) to catch a Panthers game. In addition to their food offerings, they recently debuted a fun WithCo. Mixology bar where mixologists create everything from agave margaritas to ginger mules and Old Fashioneds. The cocktails feature WithCo cocktail mixes made with fresh juices and real botanicals.

The buffet was designed for both adults and children of all ages to enjoy. From chicken fingers and macaroni and cheese to sushi, fresh shrimp cocktail and made-to-order pastas, there was something for everyone.
Earlier this year, FLA Live Arena introduced the Jameson Crossbar, a premium bar located on the Plaza Level. Designed to replicate an authentic Irish pub, the upscale spot offers premier whiskey, bourbon along with other spirits available both pre- and post-game during Panthers games, concerts, shows and events at FLA Live Arena.
Jameson and the Panthers worked with ‘Light Up The Night,’ a premier LED lighting and production company, to showcase the past, present and future of the Florida Panthers throughout the custom space. There are two replica locker stalls featuring prominent Panthers players and alumni, along with several memorabilia cases that lead from the bar’s surrounding exterior to the seats in Sections 117-120 for fans of all ages to enjoy.

What makes the Panthers really stand out is their leadership. The NHL team, which is veteran-owned and led, honors local veterans with its “Heroes Among Us” program. The in-game tradition features a dedicated tribute ceremony during every Panthers home game. Now celebrating its tenth anniversary, the program has honored more than 350 veterans and active duty service members, including more than 75 WWII veterans, 35 Vietnam War veterans, 15 Korean War veterans—by broadcasting their inspiring firsthand stories of service and determination throughout the arena for cheering fans in the stands.
FLA Live Arena is located at 1 Panther Parkway in Sunrise.
