The
2009 Fedex BCS Championship game will be held on January 8th, 2009. The
game will be played at Dolphins Stadium, in Miami, FL. The game will feature
the #1 and #2 teams in college football, as determined by the BCS rankings, to
decide the 2009 BCS National Champion.
Dolphins Stadium has been home to the Miami Dolphins
since 1987 and the Florida
Marlins since 1993, and is the new home to the University
of Miami Hurricanes football team. In addition to the regular
scheduled events at Dolphin Stadium, it has been host to 4 Super Bowls, and 2
World Series, and will host Super Bowl XLIV in 2010.
The Miami/Ft. Lauderdale area is one of the most popular vacation destinations and densely populated areas in the United States. Highways in the area often have backups so leave yourself plenty of time when attempting to travel from one destination to another. Heading to the many area beaches is a popular thing to do, especially on the weekends.
Highly recommended is South Beach, home to the Art Deco buildings, shops, clubs and hotels. And of course the famous South Beach, itself with blocks of sand and walkways to explore. At night the beach becomes one the world's party destinations. Clubs from Reggae to Jazz have live bands playing until the wee hours of the morning.
Definately try Larios, a Restaurant and club owned by Gloria Estefan for great lunches, dinners and hot hot Latin music all night long. Also fun is Mango's Tropical Cafe for some "interesting" singers and dancers and Caribbean, American food.
In last years BCS Championship game, held in the Louisiana
Superdome, in New Orleans, LA, the #1 Ohio
State Buckeyes faced off against the #2 LSU Tigers.
LSU won the game 38-24, and was awarded the AFCA National Championship
Trophy.
