American Airlines Arena  The American Airlines Arena construction began in 1998 as a replacement for the Miami Arena and was designed by the architecture firms Arquitectonica and 360 Architecture.  It opened on December 31, 1999. It was inaugurated with a concert by Gloria Estefan, two days later, on January 2, 2000.   The Arena is home to the Miami Heat of the National Basketball Association.
