HISTORY:

The BB&T Center has previously been known as Broward County Civic Arena (1998), National Car Rental Center (1998-2002), Office Depot Center (2002-05) and BankAtlantic Center (2005-2012). The outside has an 80,000 square-foot plaza and fans enter the arena through a four- story glass and stone atrium. One of the arena's exhibits is the South Florida Hockey Den of Honor, which opened in March 2010. The Den of Honor chronicles the history of hockey in South Florida as well as memorable moments in Panthers' history and the players that made those moments possible. In addition to numerous concerts, the arena hosted the 2003 NHL All-Star Game and the 2001 NHL Entry Draft.
