Raymond James Stadium

by traveldave

Home of the National Football League's Tampa Bay Buccaneers, as well as the University of South Florida's football team, Raymond James Stadium opened in 1998 to replace the antiquated Tampa Stadium, which has since been demolished. The stadium is also the venue for the Outback Bowl, a college bowl game held each New Year's Day. It was also the site for Super Bowl XXXV in 2001 and Super Bowl XLIII in 2009. In addition to football games, Raymond James Stadium hosts concerts and special events.The 65,657-seat state-of-the art stadium is known as the "crown jewel" of the National Football League, and has been voted the best stadium in the National Football League by the National Football League Players Association.One feature of Raymond James Stadium which I think is absolutely tacky is its 103-foot (31-meter) Disneyesque replica of a pirate ship which shoots rubber balls and confetti from...

The American Airlines Arena

by traveldave

The state-of-the-art American Airlines Arena is home to the National Basketball Association's Miami Heat and the Women's National Basketball Association's Miami Sol. The arena replaced the antiquated Miami Arena, and opened on New Year's Eve in 1999 with Gloria Estefan's Millennium Concert Spectacular.For basketball games, the American Airlines Arena has a seating capacity of 19,600. For other events, the arena can be configured in five different ways, with the seating capacity ranging from 5,000 to 20,000. No matter the event, patrons will enjoy the arena's fine restaurant and bar, as well as views of the Miami skyline over Biscayne Bay. In addition to basketball, the American Airlines Arena hosts major concerts, ice shows, circuses, and awards shows, such as the Latin Grammys and the MTV Video Music Awards.

Land Shark Stadium

by traveldave

Home of the National Football League's Miami Dolphins and Major League Baseball's Florida Marlins, Land Shark Stadium opened in 1987. Prior to that time, the Dolphins played in the Orange Bowl, which was not adequate for National Football League games. The Dolphins' then-owner, Joe Robbie, used his own money to build a new home for his football team. Originally called Joe Robbie Stadium, it has been renamed several times to Pro Player Field, Pro Player Stadium, Dolphins Stadium, and now Land Shark Stadium.At the time Land Shark Stadium was built, Miami did not have a baseball franchise, and was trying to attract a team. In order to help lure a baseball team to Miami, Joe Robbie designed his stadium with a wider field than necessary for football so that it could accommodate baseball. Miami was eventually awarded an expansion team, and Land Shark Stadium became the home of the new Florida...

Baseball

by grandmaR

In general Florida is Sports MAD. While I have put this under Sports Watching, because the spring training camps of a lot of teams are in Florida for the sports fans to watch, and there are also MLB teams in Florida, quite a lot of baseball is played in Florida on all levels.The picture 2 is of my grandson in Player Pitch Little League.

Florida is Certainly GOLF TERRITORY

by deecat

Most times that we have vacationed in Florida, we have lugged our golf clubs with the hopes of golfing three times a week. Many times our plans have been successful. On some occasions, we have been "foiled" by sky-high prices. Forida golf is "dirt cheap" out of season, but when the Snowbird season arrives, the fees are more than doubled. Many times we had done our research and knew the best times (cheapest rates) to golf and the most reasonable course to play. In addition, we would find local coupons in the papers and tourist books that gave us breaks on price. Once we reason senior age, some courses adjusted the prices.The Sebring area had the most reasonable prices, and the courses were excellent. Amelia Island and Naples had the most expensive rates, but it still worth it to golf at least once in each place because the courses and scenery are without rival.If you do your "homework"...

"Old" Doesn't Mean "Loser" in Tennis

by deecat

While staying in Bonita Beach, Florida, we had many opportunities to play tennis, both doubles and singles. We stayed in a two bedroom/two bath condo overlooking the beach that we shared with Allan's sister and brother-in-law. We were there for one month, and, fortunately, were able to meet lots of other tennis players of all ages and abilities.Now, my husband Allan is a good tennis player, so when a Senior Doubles Tournament was scheduled within our Condo Complex, I suggested to Allan that he should ask the best woman tennis player to be his partner. She just happened to be 74 years "young".He did ask her, and she accepted. They only practiced together once. The tournament was quite exciting to watch, and would you believe it, Allan and his 74-year-old-partner won the tournament!I took the photo so we'd have it to remember our fun in Bonita Beach where we played tennis on a court right...

Top Beach in Florida Number 7

by grandmaR

Bahia Honda Sandspur Beach was picked by the Travel Channel as the 7th best beach in Florida. I personally think it should be ranked higher than that.Others have rated Bahia Honda State Park as one of the best beaches in the country. Bahia Honda is made of Largo limestone a prehistoric coral reef similar to the present day living reefs of the Keys. The park was originally part of Flagler's railroad and the old road bed forms part of the park.. The old railroad bridge can be seen both from the new road and from the beach. Bahia Honda is unique among other islands in the Keys because it has extensive sandy beaches and deep waters close enough offshore to provide exceptional swimming and snorkeling. There are fresh water showers, a concession stand and beautiful nature trails through the mangroves.Florida state parks are open from 8 a.m. until sundown 365 days a year.The Daily Entrance Fee...

Palm Beach - Florida's #3 Beach

by grandmaR

Palm Beach is notable not only for the beach but for the rich people that live there. Originally West Palm Beach was a place for the servants of the people in Palm Beach to live. It was apparently nominated by the Travel Channel as a good beach and a posh place to shop.When you go to the Palm Beach County Convention Bureau website, you get "This Virtual Directory does not allow contents to be listed". The cached entry says "With over 47 miles of white sandy beaches and over 200 hotels and resorts from Jupiter to Boca Raton, our destination offers every conceivable amenity." I haven't really been to Palm beach in a long time. The photo has the the ICW in that area inset in the top and a sunset over that area of the Florida coast from offshore.
