Thank You Panthers

et’s Go Cats! Yes, by now, you know that our beloved Florida Panthers had their claws out for the competition
and won the NHL’s Stanley Cup in dramatic Game 7 win on Monday, June 24, at Amerant Bank Arena in
LSunrise. All eyes throughout South Florida were glued to the every move of the Cats throughout late June, with the
tension palpable and drama building going into the ‘all or nothing’ Game 7.

This year’s run for the Stanley Cup had Panther fans in an uproar…Panther shirts were (and still are!) being worn
everywhere. Las Olas Boulevard has been flying the Panthers flags proudly. The Amerant Arena reported more than a
25% rise in attendance with sales revenues up over 50% during the series. According to the Downtown Development
Authority (DDA), the Panthers have created at least a $110 million impact on the local economy over the past two
seasons. And the Stanley Cup series alone is estimated to have had a $25+ million impact locally.
As the buzzer sounded to end the game with a 2-1 Panthers victory and the first-ever Stanley Cup win for the
franchise, the fans in Amerant and throughout South Florida went wild…and the celebration has continued ever
since! We congratulate the Florida Panthers for their tireless efforts and enthusiasm at bringing home the Stanley Cup.
We LOVE our Florida Panthers and will forever be faithful to our amazing team!

Las Olas Loves You!
Jodi Tanner
Vice President, Las Olas Association
