After three failed attempts at a championship run and two consecutive seasons of first round-heartbreak against the determined Knicks, the Heat looked forward to the 1999-2000 season. In preparation for the new season and new millenium, the franchise underwent a bit of a makeover. For the first time in franchise history, the Heat got a new set of uniforms which are still used today. The logo was updated. And on New Year's Day 2000, the Heat were to play their first game in the brand new AmericanAirlines Arena.
Once again, the Heat showed tremendous promise in the regular season, starting off 15-4 while still playing at Miami Arena. On January 2, 2000, the Miami Heat defeated the Orlando Magic in the first game ever played at AmericanAirlines Arena.
The Heat finished 52-30, earning their fourth straight division title and the 3rd seed in the East.
