I live in Toronto and I'm wondering how many other Canadian Dolphins fans belong to finheaven, how long you've been Dolphins fans and how many games you've been to?
I've been a finfan since 1993, Gretzky cut Gilmore blah...blah...So much for hockey!
I've been to 2 games, both in Buffalo.
Let's here from all of you!
 
toronto....fan since 1982...my uncles were huge dolphin fans...it was natural for me to gravitate them...then the addition of marino made me a die hard...being of italian descent, with marino and shula, the whole family got behind them....

ive been to a couple games in buffalo, the worst being the disaster of 99, when cecil collins ran for a couple yards all game and marino was out with an injury...

i cheered for the dolphins on their first drive...what a mistake...the entire bills section i sat in remembered me for the rest of the game...a blow out...the entire section pelted me with food and smacks after each bills touchdown...those jerks...
 
Montreal, been a fin fan since 1984 when i saw my first game, and just loved the way Marino threw the ball. And then when I found out that they went undefeated in 1972, the year i was born, that just solidified it. And now, I got my brother into them, and my wife and kids. It is now a tradition in my house to watch the Dolphins on Sunday. We do not miss a game. Been to one game and it was in Buffalo. Best time in my life. I got insulted most of the game, but otherwise they were all pretty cool with me. They lost the game, and a couple of Bills fans slapped me on the back and told me I was a good sport for all the abuse I was taking.

I feel your pain. I had a beer poured right down the back of my neck! It was -5 C !! I laughed soooo hard though, you gotta love football weather! The fins got trounced, gave up 7 turnovers! :err:

Very cool, have you been to any Alouettes games? I,ve been to a few Argos games over the last 4 years, lots of ex-dolphin players on the roster recently!
 
....from calgary, fins fan since '81, never been to a game (sadly).

fin fan living in mississauga,
been a fin fan since 1984
been to 4 games, 3 in buffalo, 1 last year in detroit
must say i hate going to bills stadium...... has to be the worst fans in all off sports
 
London, Ontario
I have been to New England, Miami (again vs the Patsies), Buffalo many times and Detroit on Turkey day(Harrington's only good game). Dolfan since the Marino Era. Dans the reason I started watching football! I sure do miss having a QB! Cheers to a good draft, and Canadian Beer!
Go Fins
P.S. Someone tell the Rams to go and try to steal someone elses players!
 
I live in Hamilton. Used to live in Miami. I had season tickets for the 2002-2003 n 2003-2004 seasons. I have gone to two games in Buffalo. It is always extremely cold in Buffalo for the games. I agree about the Bills fans, they stink.
I went to see Ricky williams last year at Ivor Wynne Stadium last year.
I am originally from Colombia. I lived in Miami since 1999. I have been a fan since then.
My first game was Dan Marinos last home game against the Jets.
I also went to the horrible game against Jacksonville in the second round of the playoffs. His last game.

I just got back from Miami, went down and attended a couple of Marlins' games. I suggest staying at the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in Hollywood, FL. Great place for nightlife. If you are unable to book a room there that weekend, try the Comfort Inn or Hampton Suites on Stirling Rd. in Hollywood. Two miles from Hardrock and about 20 minutes from the stadium.
 
Thanks a lot Real_Teal...ive looked at the Hard Rock and it looks good....ive also seen something around South Beach as I might stay for a week now...Im not sure yet if I will be renting a car or not, but any idea of average distance or costs for driving and taxi rates from South Beach or Hardrock hotel?

South Beach is pretty far from the stadium so I would expect cab fare to be very expensive. Hard Rock will most likely have a complimentary shuttle to the game; maybe even a tailgate party for guests. Your best bet would be to call them ASAP.
