Inside the Venue At A Glance

01

Mixed

Arrival & transportation

This is a two-building campus split around Biscayne Boulevard, so the performance hall should drive the parking, rideshare, or Metromover plan.

02

Mixed

Seat & section strategy

Ziff and Knight are different rooms rather than interchangeable sections of one theater. Use the event-specific map for the correct hall and production.

03

Positive

Event-day character

The campus supports large opera, ballet, touring, and concert productions while keeping the hall named on the ticket central to the visitor plan.
