Miami, Fla game watch
-
Normally on our last night, we stay in Hollywood and fly out of Ft. Lauderdale. But this time we are staying in South Beach and flying out of Miami. Hollywood is a little more of a jaunt than I want to take. Probably just find a bar nearby and be “that guy” in the corner. Hopefully I don’t chance into a Steelers bar, which would be my luck.
The distance from Miami Beach to Hollywood FLA is 22 miles. That really is not very far to go. Problem is, any just any old bar you go into may not have the Browns game on....so you could end up watching whatever is on.
According to this you are getting Dolphins at Giants (naturally); Packers/Bears, then Rams/Cowboys.

Trust me, 22 miles doesn’t seem like much till you live down here. There are times if rather have a root canal than drive that in south Florida, even on the weekend.

I do appreciate the suggestions, but it’s just not in the cards to drive 45 min (each way) at 4:00, with dinner reservations conflicting at the tail end. Unfortunately, I must fully admit that I am not the shot caller here, and I am making do with what’s available. I’m sure somewhere in South Beach/ Miami Beach has the NFL ticket.

What you need to admit is that you just are not going to see the game....and carry on with your plans.

I will see the game, and I will not have to drive 2 hours to see it. It is 2019. I could watch it on my phone if I chose to.

He can find a sports bar with the ticket on Miami Beach. I wouldn't drive to Hollywood from there either if I was staying on South Beach on vacation.

The phone thing, sure. But won't most sports bars in Miami be playing the Dolphins game?

If the only game being shown in bars in Miami were Dolphins games, they’d probably be better off just not even opening on a Sunday.

Sports bars in Florida with the ticket show all the games.

I get that. Everyone down there is transient anyway....so the fan base is spread out over lots of teams. (Is that the way it is where you are....or are people there primarily like Buccaneer fans?
-
Zombo said:
There are no Buccaneer fans here in Naples. There are pockets of Dolphin fans, especially if the families go back to the 70s which is rare down here.
The biggest fan bases are Patriots, Giants, Steelers, Bears, Packers, Vikings, Lions, Browns, Eagles, Bill's, Etc.. the cold weather Northern and Midwest teams.

My nephew was born and raised in South Florida (Ft. Lauderdale), and he is a Dolphin fan....but he now lives in New Mexico... so it is probably a rarity to have a Dolphin fan in New Mexico.
Does anyone give a shit about the Bucs....even in Tampa?
-
Zombo said:
They are kind of a Redneck fanbase in Tampa area and Central Florida. Shirtless dude in pickup truck with Confederate flag and Buccaneer bumper stickers.
Most of them are Gator fans too, but have never been to campus.

Sounds similar to western/central Pennsylvania

All else fails, Reddit is my friend. Thanks for trying to help everyone. Go Browns.

I would think that The Clevelander would be the place to go watch the game in Miami Beach. That is where ESPN broadcasts their Miami sports programming from. And certainly it has the right name.

I was at the Clevelander in Jan 2013 when my Irish got pantsed by Bama. I don’t even remember seeing a television in there. But, then again, I was hammered there and it’s amazing I remember it at all.

See the link it shows a big huge sports bar there lots of TVs

There must be more than one bar on the property, because that is not the bar I was at.

Where is that from where you are staying? Nearby. Go there and report back how it was. While I have been to Florida a few times, it is now almost 20 years since I have been down on Miami/South Beach there....so it clearly would be nothing like it now that it was then.
They made the deal to house the ESPN studios in 2014....so maybe all that major sports bar stuff has been added since you were there.

It’s in the area we’ll be in, so it’s definitely in play. It may be the destination, but I won’t lie - if something looks promising along the way, I’m ducking in there. I have very few requirements for a game watch - nice TVs, cold beer, and no (or few) Steelers fans. I’ll be on foot, as we’re valeting the rental upon arrival in a couple hours.

NO Steeler fans allowed in a bar called The Clevelander!!!
-
Clevelander was a bust - they were tearing down some sort of race event out front, and the espn bar was closed for a staff party, apparently. I did find a nice spot to watch from, though - Finnegan’s Way on Ocean Dr. just north of Clevelander. Sat down next to a couple Browns fans. Go Browns.
-
Just a bow on this, game sucked, but I’d recommend Finnegan’s to anyone in the South Beach area looking for a game watch. If anyone happens to Google their way to this thread. Go Browns. Shitty game today.
