Getting to Amerant Bank Arena
Florida Panthers · Sunrise, FL
Amerant Bank Arena is a suburban arena in Sunrise reached off the Sawgrass Expressway and I-595, and it is unusually precise about which gate each approach delivers you to — Pat Salerno Drive runs straight into Gates 1 and 2, Panther Parkway into Gate 3. There is no public transit guidance of any kind.
Tips & Fan Reports
Best way from Las Olas Beach area is to drive or Uber to the arena. There is no real public transit option. Budget about 20-25 minutes depending on I-595 traffic.
Coming down the Sawgrass via Oakland Park Boulevard puts you at Gate 3, half a mile along Panther Parkway.
Pat Salerno Drive off the Sawgrass Expressway runs directly into the arena at Gate 1 or 2 — the shortest approach published.
Lyft pick-up is at Gate 3.
Nothing on the arena's page covers buses, so plan a car-free trip from the transit operator's map.
