Flash Posted September 18, 2010 Report Share Posted September 18, 2010 It will be one of the biggest parties in Miami's history and that's not a euphemism. The city is planning to turn all of downtown into a massive block party for the Miami Heat on opening night, creating a hype to match the hype of Dwyane Wade, LeBron James and Chris Bosh on the basketball court. The city is pumping mad money into the effort, which involves cleaning up the streets to have an NBA shine by the time the first home game rolls around Oct. 29. "We are so excited about the heat season starting we are going to throw a big tailgate party on Biscayne Boulevard," said Alyce Robertson, executive director of the Downtown Development Authority. "We are working with the Heat organization to be able to project the whole game outside and get the dancers outside as well as the entertainment that's going on inside come outside to the street party." That's right. The plan is to turn downtown Miami into a massive party. Restaurants are being courted to line Biscayne Blvd. Big screens set outside so that everyone, not just the lucky ticket holders inside, can see the first home match up against in-state rival, the Orlando Magic. http://www.nbcmiami.com/news/sports/Heat-and-City-plan-big-opening-night-102893949.html That's awesome lol.

SRV Posted September 19, 2010 Report Share Posted September 19, 2010 Oh man, I can't wait for opening day. When we went to the finals, Miami felt like such an awesome sports town, and getting to that point is what it takes to get Miami fans motivated, but when we get motivated, its like we won 3 championships already.

When you're winning, there's no fanbase that's going to get behind you more. But when you're average or a losing team, they'll ditch you in a second. It sucks but that's just the way it is here.
