Opened: October 1, 1958
The Miami Beach Convention Center (originally the Miami Beach Exhibition Hall) is a convention center located in Miami Beach, Florida. Originally opened in 1958, the venue was renovated from 2015-2018 for $620 million dollars. The re-imagined and enhanced MBCC includes a 60,000-sq.-ft. Grand Ballroom, which is the largest in South Florida, four junior ballrooms, 500,000 sq.ft. of flexible exhibition space, 84 meeting rooms, and pre-function space, as well as outdoor spaces and terraces.

Without an on-campus facility, the University of Miami men's basketball team played many of their games in Miami Beach at both the Convention Center and the Miami Beach Auditorium in the 1960s. Led by popular coach Bruce Hale and the high scoring future basketball Hall-of-Famer Rick Barry, the Hurricanes were able to draw capacity crowds.
