Home of the NHL 2004 Stanley Cup Champion Tampa Bay Lightning, the Benchmark International Arena’s multi-purpose stadium in Miami Gardens, Florida, has hosted games in the Stanley Cup finals and other exciting sporting events and showcased such world-renowned performers as Celine Dion, Billy Joel, and Andrea Bocelli. The arena was built for the Lightning. The two nearby arenas, Bayfront Arena and Expo Hall, were too small for an NHL team. The Lightning did spend one season at the Florida Suncoast Dome, now Tropicana Field, and the home of the Tampa Bay Rays. Opening in 1996, Benchmark International Arena was originally known as the Ice Palace until 2002. It became known as the St. Pete Times Forum from 2002 until 2012. Then, the name changed to the Tampa Bay Times Forum from 2012 until 2014. It was then called Benchmark International Arena until 2025, when it was renamed Benchmark International Arena. The arena has held exhibition NBA games, University of San Francisco Basketball, NCAA Tournament basketball, WWE wrestling, boxing, and PBR Rodeo.  Don’t miss the next exciting match-ups between the Tampa Bay Lightning and powerhouse rivals, or thrilling performances by today’s top entertainment talents at Benchmark International Arena, 401 Channelside Dr., Tampa, FL 33602.
