Is it really the climate? Miami's weather looks pretty similar to the weather where I live, but people still go to sports here. Then again us Aussies tend to be a bit sports mad.

It is not the weather...believe me. College and NFL Football are very popular down there.

More people in Miami root for Dexter than they do for the Heat.

No it isnt the weather. Like the other poster said, football does well, especially the Hurricanes. Its not like everyone lives on boats and are at the beach. Most games are played at night anyways so wtf would you miss it to go to the beach?
Ive spent most of my life in the Miami area, they suck, trust me.

IT'S THE PEOPLE OF THE CITY. Something Lebron couldn't factor in during his decision because it's something you notice after a while of living there. I am from Miami. I've always said that Wade should move to a city where he could really be appreciated (not that he's not appreciated) but the appreciation starts somewhere in the middle of the playoffs.
It has and always will be a big F-Ball- Dolphins/Canes town. But just look at the Marlins....now they're building a new stadium in the heart of Little Havana thinking if they put it closer to the spanish people, they will come. FALSE. They'll go just to brag about being in the new stadium, and then it will fade.
There is something ultimately superficial about the city, and I'm from there so I HATE to say it. There are good things to take from it, but a whole lotta crap that makes you scratch your head. I've only been to Chicago once in August, enough for me to realize what a real city is with real sports fans. With a real music scene and a real art scene. So......I'm moving there in February.
This is just the beginning of the season for the new Heat, the plot will thicken as the games roll along. I assume that James already asked Wade "Where are all your fans"? This "Fan Up" campaign is no surprise at all. You can't manufacture fans. It's just not gonna happen. Basketball is not in the culture down here unless there's a ring involved.
The people of Miami don't care unless your making a run for a championship, and that's when everyone will dust off their Wade jerseys. If you do tattoos, they dont care unless it's on LA ink, if you play music they don't care unless it's on MTV......my city has failed me. This article is just a portion of why.
Sad, but true.

This basically sums up the South Florida thought process. Its all about whats hot or in.
The whole new Marlins stadium where the Orange Bowl used to be is an absolute travesty. The Marlins are such a horribly run team and they dont have enough fans to fill a F-150 out. What they should be doing is building that stadium for the Dolphins. Baseball isnt doing well in FL. Same can be said for TB who even admitted to not having a strong fan base when theyre losing.
I remember Wades rookie season, when you could get good playoff seats for 30 bucks. I witnessed the breakout against the Hornets and watched it continue into the Pacers series. Then Shaq came and everyone hoped on the bandwagon.
The fact that their fan base isnt going absolutely nuts for Wade, Bosh and Lebron is beyond me. I was always a big Wade and Bosh fan. I couldnt imagine having all 3 on my team. I would never miss a game.
I know ive mentioned my friend who does ticket sales for the Heat in the past. Well he did make a killing when they signed the big three and when season ticket sold out, the whole staff got fired because a monkey could sell those tickets. Fn Miami

Nothing beats Miami is you're into clubbing. Mansion, Set, LIV, space, etc. The only problem is that it's expensive as all hell....man this makes me miss my colombian ex back home, who just informed me that she will be following in my footsteps in the field of massage therapy. I have to go back home and get rubbed down
