Heat's home now FTX Arena under $135M deal

The Heat’s home court "will become the FTX Arena" under a $135M deal that Miami-Dade commissioners approved on Friday, "clearing the way for the obscure cryptocurrency exchange to take the place of American Airlines." Approval of the 19-year deal for naming rights at the county-owned arena "will bring the venue’s first name change" since it opened in '99. The "iconic silhouette of an airplane on the 'AA Arena’s' roof is set to be replaced with the FTX logo." The agreement "passed on a 10-1 vote" (MIAMI HERALD, 3/27).
