The Coconut Grove Convention Center (also known as the Coconut Grove Expo Center), formerly the Dinner Key Auditorium, was an indoor arena in Miami, Florida. It originally had been built as a hangar at the Pan American World Airways seaplane base at Dinner Key. It is famous for being where Jim Morrison of the The Doors was arrested for exposing himself in 1969. It hosted some games of the ABA's The Floridians from 1968-1972. The arena held 6,900 people. In its last days, it was used as a filming studio (including interior shot's of Michael's loft) for USA Network's "Burn Notice" TV show. After the show ended its run (7 seasons), the building was torn down.
