The Miami HEAT announced today that it will host the HEAT “Red, White & Pink” Game presented by Baptist Health Breast Center at Miami Cancer Institute—an open scrimmage that will include the current 2015-16 roster—on Thursday, October 15th beginning at 7:00 p.m. at AmericanAirlines Arena. Doors open at 6:00 p.m. The first 5,000 HEAT fans in attendance will receive a HEAT Red, White & Pink Game t-shirt. HEAT fans from around the world will be able to watch a live stream of the Red, White & Pink Game via the Miami HEAT App or by logging on to HEAT.com.
Although the event is open to the public, tickets are available exclusively via the new Miami HEAT App. HEAT fans wishing to attend the Red, White & Pink Game will be required to download the new Miami HEAT App in order to purchase a ticket. Tickets cost $1.00 each with proceeds benefitting the Miami Cancer Institute. Tickets will not be available at Ticketmaster.com. Additionally, there is an eight-ticket maximum per transaction.
The Red, White & Pink Game will resemble a regular NBA game with four quarters and a halftime, and will also feature many elements of the HEAT Experience including the national anthem, as well as performances by the Miami HEAT Dancers, Burnie and the Xtreme Team. HEAT fans will get a close-up look at the 2015-16 Miami HEAT team. Select concession stands as well as The Miami HEAT Store will be open for business.
The team has incorporated the color pink into the scrimmage for the second consecutive year in honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month. HEAT players will be wearing a special edition Red, White & Pink shooting shirt, which will be auctioned off during the game by the Baptist Health Breast Center at Miami Cancer Institute. All proceeds from the auctioned shooting shirts will go to Baptist Health Breast Center at Miami Cancer Institute. Additionally, halftime will feature a special ceremony honoring local survivors of breast cancer.
Parking in the P2 garage will cost $5.00 per car and will be available on a first-come first-served basis. Additionally, HEAT fans should be aware that a number of parking lots located directly adjacent to the facility have been permanently eliminated. Fans attending the Red, White & Pink Game are strongly advised to consider alternative parking options, which include a variety of lots offering a flat rate and within a convenient walking distance of the Arena.
