Re(2): My first (and last?) visit to Miami Jai Alai

I agree with you 100%!

I too have been to Miami when there was a person in every seat and just as many people standing to watch the action on the court. At the time, I had been to every other fronton in Florida that offered live jai-alai but none could be compared to the energy in the air or atmosphere in that Miami fronton. I don't know if it was the crowd/audience or the caliber of the players on the court but in my opinion, there was a significant difference. I miss those days and the only reason why I have been back there in the last decade has because of the players. The entire roster is great but Goiko, Irastorza and Lopez are magnificent to watch live and something that every jai-alai fan should experience. The trip is well worth it because the players play hard regardless of how many people are watching.
