Kaseya Center Guide

NBA · Miami · 16,500 capacity

Last updated: 3/4/2026

Kaseya Center sits on Biscayne Bay in downtown Miami, an arena where the waterfront views from the upper concourses compete with the action on the court. Metromover's Freedom Tower station is a five-minute walk, connecting to the broader Metrorail system, and the Bayside Marketplace next door adds dining and nightlife that runs well past the final buzzer. Stay in Brickell or downtown and you can walk to Heat games along the bayfront promenade.
