The experience of attending a sporting event in Miami is one that is, in a word, incredible.

Why Watching Sports Sober Is Better
How many sporting events have you seen while you’re under the influence of drugs or alcohol? Think for a moment about how many details of the game you actually remember? Attending a game while you’re sober provides you with a better overall experience. You can truly keep track of the ups and downs of the game and focus on making memories, which makes the game that much more fun and exciting.
Tips for Watching Sports Without Alcohol or Drugs
When you’re ready to see a sporting event, it’s essential that you may plans ahead of time so that you can avoid any temptations. For example, if you happen to know where the bars are in the arena, you may want to try to purchase seats on the other end of the stadium, so you aren’t tempted to get anywhere close to this section.
Another good idea is to plan to attend a game with a sober friend or family member. Taking this step will help keep you focused on your goals and the game and not feel uncomfortable. Of course, if you feel that your sobriety truly is in jeopardy, you should never continue to subject yourself to this type of environment and leave as soon as possible.
