Re(4): My first (and last?) visit to Miami Jai Alai

Posted on June 13, 2012 at 10:00:16 PM by Jesus

I have consistently gone to Miami Jai Alai on Saturdays for a couple months now and I have learned to ignore the sad discouraging parts. I wanted to buy a shirt or a hat and they don't have any, they have a very small room with no one there with a couple of small shirts for sale. No more restaurant overlooking the court, the place looks rundown, the court needs a paintjob really bad, BUT, the jai alai is SO GOOD! that makes me forget about the other things. I have seen crowds of 300+ people consistently on Saturdays (yes I counted them) and the tellers are very nice (I dont use machines) and I can sit in the front by the serve line and have a great time watching these very good players. I dont even bet a lot, just quiniela boxes and some perfectas, just go to enjoy the show.

If you havent seen Lopez/Storza and Goico play, you are missing on some of the best jai alai that has ever been played in that fronton. Don't let the negatives ruin that pleasure of watching pure force jai alai!
