Miami Heat fans began arriving in large numbers at the team store inside Kaseya Center nearly two hours before the first game of the 2026-27 season, even though tip-off is not until 7:30 p.m. Drivers faced heavy traffic downtown.
Fans can buy new Vice City jerseys and hats, along with the team’s red and white jerseys for any player on the roster. Store officials recommended the Heat Jersey Lab, where shoppers can use computer stations to customize a jersey by number, name and color style.
Andy Montero, the Heat’s vice president of retail business, told 7News he expects a strong season and said he is glad fans are returning with energy. He said the new players have helped revive a fan base that has gone more than a decade without a championship.
