The venue originally opened on July 12, 2005, as a 5,500-seat multi-purpose arena, which hosted music and comedy shows, sporting events including world championship boxing, mixed martial arts, tennis, basketball and rodeo events, and corporate meetings, celebrity charity fundraisers and exhibitions.

The 2008 concert of classic rock band Bad Company at the venue was recorded for a 2010 release on CD and DVD. The arena was also home to the Florida Frenzy indoor football team.[4]
As part of a $1.5 billion property-wide expansion, the arena was razed in March 2018 to be replaced by the new theater, which opened on October 25, 2019, with a concert by Maroon 5.[5] During the theater's construction, events were held in the temporary 3,500 seat Hard Rock Event Center, which opened in March 2018.[6] The theater hosted the Miss Universe 2020 coronation night on May 16, 2021.
