We visited basketball game on 4th February. How did we get there? Our school, uses a team events to improve communication skills of students.

The game was between the defending champion Miami Heat and guests – Charlotte Bobcats. Since I have never been at professional basketball games, my report is completely amateurish.

The Freedom Tower. It is currently used as a memorial to Cuban immigrations to the United States.

Port of Miami

The AmericanAirlines Arena is home of the Miami Heat of the National Basketball Association. As part of its sponsorship arrangement, American Airlines had a giant aircraft painted on top of the arena’s roof, with an American Airlines logo in the center. The design is visible from airplanes taking off and landing at Miami International Airport, where American Airlines has a hub.

At the entrance security surrended our 70-700 mm lens in a locker, because according to the rules, lens shouldn’t be longer than 6 inches ;(

Inside. Babe and Logo.
