SUNRISE, Fla. — “The Boss” is set to take the stage Thursday night as Bruce Springsteen performs at Amerant Bank Arena at 8 p.m.

Fans say they don’t just listen to Springsteen’s music -- they absorb it, adding that his songs never seem to age.

They’re here for The Boss.

One of the most iconic voices in rock ‘n’ roll is bringing the E Street Band to South Florida, with guitars, drums and a lineup expected to include hits like Born to Run and Born in the U.S.A..

Doors opened at 6:30 p.m., but some fans -- more like superfans -- showed up early, trying to catch a glimpse of Springsteen near the back entrance.

Among them were Denise Blatz of North Port and Taylor Davis of Palm Beach, who said they just met at the arena while bonding over their shared love of Springsteen.

Maybe they’ll be heading to future concerts together.

As of this evening, tickets are still available, with single seats going for about $85 and others listed around $590.
