Description: DINNER KEY AUDITORIUMDinner Key Auditorium, located in the Coconut Grove neighborhood of Miami, Florida, was a significant venue with a storied history. Originally built as a hangar for Pan American World Airways' seaplanes, it was converted into an auditorium in the late 1940s. The venue had a seating capacity of around 6,000 and served as a multi-purpose facility for concerts, political rallies, and various community events. Despite its modest size, the Dinner Key Auditorium became an iconic part of Miami's cultural and social landscape.In terms of sports, the Dinner Key Auditorium was home to the Miami Floridians, a team in the American Basketball Association (ABA), from 1968 to 1970. The Floridians, who later played games in other venues across South Florida, brought professional basketball to the area, contributing to the region's sports history.One of the most notable events in the auditorium's history occurred on March 1, 1969, when The Doors performed a concert that became infamous. Lead singer Jim Morrison allegedly exposed himself on stage, leading to his arrest and a highly publicized trial. This event is often cited as a pivotal moment in rock history and contributed to the band's rebellious image. The venue also hosted numerous other notable performances and events, reflecting its importance as a cultural hub in Miami before it eventually fell into disuse and was demolished in 1977.
