Miami Dolphins (22/32)

December 28, 2014

Matchup:  Miami Dolphins vs. New York Jets (w)

Setting:
  • Week 17
  • Weekend Getaway to Miami - arrived Friday 12/26 and spent Saturday at the beach
  • 82 Degrees on game day 
  • Parked in a crazy parking lot that trapped our car wayyyy in the back
  • We arrived early and spent almost 90 minutes searching for a team pin. We found the last one in the stadium. 
  • Seats at level 400 (really equivalent to level 300) but row 1
  • 20 yard line
  • Lots of plane-advertisers, helicopters and blimps
  • Rex Ryan's last game as the Jet's coach
  • Nothing on the line for either team

Highlights
:

  • Touch down song is extremely old and sounds like it was recorded 50 years ago
  • 97 yard touch down run from Lamar Miller 
  • Jets attempted field goal and it bounced off the upright

Trip Memories: 
  • Went to a hole-in-the-wall "authentic" Cuban "restaurant" / deli
  • Sah ran on Ocean drive and Collins Ave while Steve went to Crunch Gym.
  • Spent the day on the beach
  • Walked to the pier
  • Amazing hotel (Essex) 
  • Visited "11th Street Diner" because it was featured in the Food Network's Diners, Drive-ins and Dives. 

Team 22 of 32
Award:  Most Air-Activity Award for helicopters, 4 plane ads and a blimp
