El Heat

Yesterday, I got invited to go to the Heat-Pacer basketball game at the Miami Arena.  It was my first time at the AAA Arena and the experience and the game were great.  Parking was pricey and the traffic was malo, but the Calle Ocho Street Festival and beautiful weather brought out just about everyone not in a long term care facility to some event in Miami.

Our seats were way up high,but the view of the court was excellent.

The entrances to the arena provided lots of places for pictures to commemorate the event.

Going to sporting events now includes a metal detector screening most of the time.  Parimutuel facilities are an exception but the line moved along and the staff was great.  One member of our party has some vision issues and we were given the ability to use elevators that were usually reserved for the high rollers.

The Big Screen TV on the score board was good for replays but the view of the whole court really helped while watching the game.  I've been to venues where the TV had better angles for everything.  This was particularly true at Sunlife Stadium for baseball.

El Heat gano un otro juego.  The Heat won another game, the streak is now at 17 and if they keep shooting the way they did last night with Mario Chalmers and Chris Bosh bot getting 20 plus points, the juggernaut will continue/  The Pacers were the last team to beat the Heat.  They really got smacked down last night.

I know this is going to date me entirely.  I can remember standing in line for more than an hour for standing room ticket to see a Blackhawk Hockey game.  Parking was $2.00, Ticket $2.00.  Today, parking near the Triple AAA was about $30.00 and the seat was $46.00 through Ticketmaster.

It is what it is.
