Kaseya Center: Miami Heat’s Arena Proposed To Be Renamed Through 2040

The Miami Heat’s arena is proposed to be renamed the Kaseya Center for the next 17 years, under a deal set for a vote by Miami-Dade commissioners.

Kaseya would pay just $117,370,000 for the naming rights through 2040, the terms of the deal show.

The deal is similar in value to one made by the county with FTX, before it filed for bankruptcy.

By comparison, the naming rights for the Los Angeles Lakers was reportedly valued at $700 million, in a 2021 deal with Crypto.com

Other potential bidders for the Miami-Dade naming rights included Aroma360 and iHeart Media, the Herald reported.

Kaseya is a tech company based in Brickell.

The County Commission meeting where the deal is on the agenda is scheduled for April 4.

iHeart would have been the PERFECT sponsor. Relatively large, well known, but also not an insurance company. Too bad…

This place is sooooo wack! To even consider AROMA360. I guess the local pickings are slight.

Awkward name for such a cool arena. Sportscasters will simply call it “Miami Arena”.

We deserve better than a barely known company. We deserve a big name, now more than ever, since Miami is becoming a truly big international city!!

That’s literally why they are bidding for naming rights on the Arena….so that they’re no longer barely known.

first off … I don’t work for Kaseya or the city, just a citizen here. We should be super supportive of a company that’s putting their HQ and 1000+ high paying jobs in our community. Why would we want OUR arena named after a big name but that isn’t connected to us as a community. If not AAA (that one does make sense) then Kaseya or anyone else HERE … not some random company because it’s flashy or well-know, who cares. We should support those here and support our home, not just sell out.

I think it’s great a company HQ in Miami and giving lots of jobs to people in Miami would get the brand awareness. I’m not familiar w this company but better them than something like a giant airline we all know already and don’t have local ties to

How’s you’re beloved county mayor now? Mediocre transit upgrades and mediocre company naming rights.
