I cannot remember if a city has EVER hosted so many INTERNATIONAL sporting events with THE BEST players of their sport in a short period of time! In the next 3 weeks, the city of Miami will be hosting the following:
1) World Baseball Classic at Dolphins Stadium
- Teams ALREADY in: USA and Puerto Rico
- Teams more than likely to be in: Venezuela and Dominican Republic
2) CA Championships at Doral
- Players that will be particpating: Tiger Woods, Y.E. Yang, Davis Love III,
Segio Garcia, Phil Mickelson and Camilio Villegas....let's just say, anybody
who is anybody when it comes to the PGA.
3) 1st Round of the East/South Regional at American Airlines Area
- Teams yet to be determined
4) Sony - Ericsson OPen at Key Biscayne
- Players expected to play: Rafael Nidal, Andy Roddick, Roger Feder just to
to name a few. On the womens side, according to the official site listing,
EVERY SINGLE WOMAN ranked in the top 75 will play.....amazing!
I cannot imagine ANY CITY ever having a two week stretch hosting some many major sporting events at the same time.
