The last one, "headliner" was Flo-Rida (or however he spells it).

I could see Miami being better if you have unlimited funds and speak spanish

Women are much more attractive, I will give it that

I always thought fan experiences were for the fanny pack types so I can see it being slammed for these two fanbases. Miami is great for all the reasons it is great to take a vacation to Miami. But all that ends for the game experience- you are either going to a bad NFL tailgate venue or have to deal with an hour+ cab ride from the bar.

thats kind of what i was alluding too. Every year the same people produce the entertainment as far as concerts & such.

like i said, if you prefer being on the beach, i can see SOBE getting a slight nod, but really NOLA offers everything outside of that and more, imo.

Thats what im saying. If you drink at the game and want to go out in South Beach and celebrate a win, well, you basically cant do it in a respectable time manner.. Especially if you are leaving town the next day; you can't really do it at all. By the time the game is over, and you're back in SOBE, its mindnight-1am


Which only means 6 hours to party.

You come into town several days before and enjoy. And big deal about the stadium. It is a 30 minute cab from SOBE or 30 minutes from Lauderdale. Or if you stay in Aventura, Sunny Isles, Hallandale, or Hollywood (all on the beach and nicer than anything in NOLA by a mile) it is 5-6 miles.

NOLA is not in the same universe of offerings as South Florida.

Better clubs, bars, restaurants, women, scenery, weather.

In other words, everything.

There is a reason property is dirt cheap in NOLA and through the roof in SOBE.

I do not even know why you are attempting to debate this.

Guess you have never spent much time in SOBE or S Florida?

WEll, because a minute ago you said they have more variety; not that they were better.

Nola has everything Miami has. From there it depends on preference. The glitz and glam and lights of Miami, or the laid back charm of NOLA.


Miami may be better to you, that's fine. But there isnt more variety, or more things to do. Or better restaurants/bars. lol at that.

Is Flo Rida a traditional or funky jazz group?

Guys, please ignore this troll. He is just a drunken ignorant coonass who thinks that because Nola is the Cajun capital of the world, that it is also the cultural capital of the world.

with all of those dumbass pizza places in the quarter, there is probably more latin music in nola than in south beach.
