I live in Red Oak, Texas but my wife and I are season ticket holders in section 145, row 4. We go to at least two, sometimes three games per season and sell the rest of the tickets. If you are looking for tickets to the Lions game just give me a shout. We will eventually move to south Florida when I retire in four more years. I have been a fan since Paul Warfield was traded to Miami in the late 60's. Yup, I am that old. I am from Columbus, Ohio (Ginn - nevermind and Hartline right on) go Bucks. I was a Browns fan when Warfield left tOSU and went to Cleveland. Once he was traded to Miami that was all she wrote for being a Browns fan.

Seventh time is a charm
Yes Miami Dolphin fans the Phins are O'fer against the Houston Texans. But I have faith and the wife and I already have front row seats behind the Miami bench at the 30 YARD LINE. Enough of that streak! We live in Dallas and my wife got these tickets and a premium parking pass for $600. Before you go oh my - six hundred, go have a look at the cost of a front row seat at Reliant. It is time for the Dolphins to end this streak and I want to be there to see it happen. Miami is 0 - 3 at home and 0 - 3 at Reliant against the Texans.

The HEAT is on - Ross finally puts Sep/Oct games at 1pm
Miami has to take all the advantages it can get. For the Miami Dolphins playing in sweltering heat of south Florida in Sept and Oct at 1pm is an advantage they must use. Don Shula knew what an advantage that is and used it to the max. Ross comes in and starts moving the Dolphins home games in Sept and Oct to either night games or 4pm games. Doing that plays into the hands of the opponents. New England, Buffalo, and NY all use the cold weather in Nov/Dec/Jan to their advantage and realish getting Miami up there in the snow and ice. Finally, in 2012 our Sep/Oct home schedule is back where it belongs at 1pm on Sundays. I did some research on Shula's record in day games in Sep/Oct and this is what I found, In Sept home games that were played during the day the Don Shula Dolphins were 27 and 4, or an .870 winning percentage. In Oct they were 33 and 15 or an .670 winning percentage. Even in lean years they won at home in Sep/Oct. When the Dolphins announced that the Raiders game was moved to 1pm, it was the right move. If you are fan who attends the games in Sep/Oct at 1pm, don't complain about the heat, drink more water and relish watching the opponents melting in the 3rd and 4th quarter in those dark road jerseys. I would happily sit in the sun and heat to see the Phins win all of there home Sep/Oct games.
Legacy of Bill Belicheat is shown.
I guess the Belicheat, Brady legacy is really about what they could do when they knew what the other team was going to do video via illegal means. Once again the truth comes out. Media please shut up about Belicheat and Brady once and for all. Easy schedule still did not garner them a SB.
$o Di$gu$ted with thi$ $eason - Money down the drain!
I am so disgusted and angry about this season and yes I am so hoping we don't win a single game this year so we can get Andrew Luck and we can get rid of Mr. Fistpump for FieldGoals. The worst part is that I have already paid to go to three games in November. I live in Dallas and the wife and I are flying to Miami for the Redskins game, then driving to Kansas City for the Chiefs game and last but not least I have tickets to the Turkey Day game as well. So much money spent to go be miserable. I certainly hope we can at least have some fun on our roadtrips.
Remember when.....
Remember when..... The Dolphins could get the ball trailing by seven or less and Danny would come to the huddle at the 20 yard line and you just knew he could get us down the field to score the points needed. Remember when we had a quick strike offense and the two-minute drill was something real. If, and it's a big if, the offense resembles anything like what has been displayed in the preseason, we may just have a little bit of that magic again. I really want to see it next Monday night. Tony, please, please don't go back into a shell and let us have a 2011 NFL offense and not a 1980 NFL Offense.

2011 Lockout
by phinman013 on Nov 6, 2010 9:56 PM EDT
on The Phinsider
I am really worried that there will be a lockou in 2011. The good and the bad of having a lockout in 2011 is me being a season ticket holder in Miami I am wondering if I have to pay for seats that nobody will be sitting in could be good and bad. If I have to pay for them and so does everyone else including people who have many seats that they are able to sell during the season, they could possibly be cash poor and have to sell their good seats. If this happens for me I get a better upgrade as I can afford to pay for just two seats for one year, while the ticket brokers would be eating a lot of unsold seats. On the other hand, no football on Sunday is almost like no sex, pretty darn tough to handle.
Desparate: Anyone on here live in Dallas that plays Fanatasy Football

I am running a league with an in person draft on Saturday 28 August. I have 11 owners and I need one more. I live 19 miles south of Dallas in Red Oak. Anyone on here that also lives in this area that would like to play in my league. I am desparate as I have done a lot of work to get the league set up for 12 owners. HELP! He me up phinman013@gmail.com. We moved from Denver in December 2009 and I really don't know many people down here just yet. I have handed out tons of flyers and I have only gotten 10 responses (plus me). Some of you must live in this part of the country.
Sitting on the beach watching football
by phinman013 on Jul 11, 2010 12:37 PM EDT
on The Phinsider
Every year the wife and I come down to south Florida, from Dallas, to catch one or two Dolphins' games in our season ticket holder seats. We also come down to lay on the beach at Haulover and get that all over tan. This year the ritual will be the same, except the two games are both at night (Jets -Sunday night, Pats - Monday night) so instead of being at the stadium when all the other NFL games are happening, we will have free time to be at the beach. In a few days the Droid-X comes out and I will be getting one of these new phones, which has the ability to get the Sunday NFL ticket on the phone. I plan to lay on the beach and catch some football.
Anyone else on here that comes down for any home games and go to this beach? We are dedicated fans in that we have tailgating items and beach items in a storage locker that we pay for monthly. When we arrive we get our gear out of the locker(Miami Dolphins' 10x10 tent, camping grill, camping fold out table, beach umbrellas and chairs and assorted other items) and we set up shop. We tailgate just as if we lived in south Florida. In a few years I will live down there, but for now this is our yearly ritual. It is best when the Dolphins have back to back home games in Sept or Oct as they do this year, so we can get this all done in one trip.
See ya at the game or at Haulover. BTW still have my Lions tickets left to sell including a parking pass. Just let me know if anyone wants the tickets to this game. Our season tickets are on the HOME side now, 4th row from the field about the 10 yard line.

Lawsuit against the Owners - stop 2011 Lockout
by phinman013 on Jun 19, 2010 11:43 PM EDT
on The Phinsider
Fist off I need to make it clear that I hate that managment (the owners) and the union (players) can't seem to get this settled. Second I am a Miami Dolphins season ticket holder in section 145, row 4, but I live in Dallas, Texas. The wife and I travel down and stay in Hollywood, Florida for at least two games per season. We sell all the rest of our tickets and parking passes. This season we are attending the first two home games, Jets and Pats.
For the sake of explanation of those fans that are not season ticket holders, the Miami Dolphins send out an invoice for the season tickets in March. We have to make three equal payments for our two seats. That total is around 2200 dollars. As soon as the schedule is announce in the middle of April, my wife and I sit down and decide which games we are going to and start making airfare, condo, rental car reservations. We don't wait so we can get the best rates. We generally have enough airline miles to cover at least one ticket and sometimes both. We prefer to catch back to back home games in September and October as the weather is just wonderful outside of any Hurricanes. This is our sixth season to be season ticket holders. Our first two were spent in the visitor side upper deck 25 to 35 yard lines. In our third year we were able to move down to lower bowl visitor side about the 18 yard line 15 rows from the field. I can tell you that Sept/Oct one o'clock games can be brutally hot on that side of the field. This year we got the upgrade we were looking for and moved to the home side about the 14 yard line but just 4 rows from the field.
To further highlight our passion we have a storage locker that contains nice beach loungers, unbrellas, and tailgating items like camping grill, Miami Dolphins' canopy, fold out camping table, and Dolphins' chairs. So you can see our passion for the Dolphins and we have done all this through some of the leanest years for our beloved Phins.
Now to my point. I have friends in Denver that were Colorado Avalanche season ticket holders at about $5000 dollars per season. They were required to pay the full ticket price before the season started even though there was not going to be a season when Hockey went on strike. I don't believe it is fair, to force the fans to pay the owners for a product that they are causing not to happen in 2011. Since it is a lockout and not the players striking, it is the owners who are cancelling the season, should this happen. I do not want to lose my place in the stadium, but I also do not want to pay for no product. If the owners know they can get money for nothing, then it will further strengthen their resolve to have this lockout. If we the season ticket holders could sue them and keep them from collecting all of the ticket revenue, for which they would collect interest, we can possibly stop the lockout. If you read some of the articles on ESPN about the lockout http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/commentary/news/story?page=munson/100617 the owners are not winning in their court battles. We need to further ensure they don't win at out expense, pun intended. I am already sick of the owners holding cities hostage and forcing us to buy them new stadiums. I wish I could get the city to pay for a new buidling to start a new business, and then make them pay again to use the facility. I don't know all the mechanics of starting a class action lawsuit, but I believe we need to do this and force the owner's hands on the issue. If there are any leagle beagles out there that believe we can do this I want to know, and I want to know how.
Miami Dolphins' sportsbar in Dallas?
by phinman013 on Dec 10, 2009 10:02 PM EST
on The Phinsider
Just moved to Dallas from Denver this week. Had to shut down my NFL ticket at my home so it could be moved. I need a place to catch the Phins on Sunday, hopefully where there are others rooting them on. Is there any others on her that live in the DFW area that can help me out? I am actually in the DeSoto area, so a Dallas location over say Ft Worth would be best, but I am down for the best place wherever that is.
Dolphins' bars in Dallas area?
by phinman013 on Nov 8, 2009 10:19 AM EST
on The Phinsider
I am moving from Denver to Dallas the first week of December and I will not have my new home (Red Oak) until the end of December. I need the best place to go and watch Miami Dolphins' games until then. Anyone on here live down the Dallas area that know of a great place to go? As soon as my house is ready I have a theater room that will have a nice 55 inch LED television and the NFL Ticket, then I will be the best place to watch.
I need some help here folks. I know I can go to just any bar but I want one where the Dolphins' fans are in great numbers.

That would be a hoot after all the hype and BS all summer long about the great and wonderful media darlings of the NFL and their guarenteed return to the SuperBowl. I wonder if Bellycheat can get Pioli to give back Matt? Not too sure the Pats and their fans could handle another year without Tom. I know I am rushing things and he is probably only a little sore, just spitballing.
Pat White - Change is his number and position
by phinman013 on Aug 23, 2009 11:45 PM EDT
on The Phinsider
Anyone on here correct me if I am wrong. Pat White will be listed as the third QB during the season. If this is true the NFL rule says if he comes in before the 4th quarter, then neither of the Chads can come back in until the 4th quarter. If all of this is true, and we want Pat White to replace Chad #10, to run a more advance version of the WildCat, then just change Whites number and his position designation to RB or WR. We don't need a third QB on the roster. When Pat comes in and Chad #10 or Chad #7 leaves the field there would be no issues with the third QB rule. Does anyone agree with me, or am I crazy?
I really think it is just that simple, what could the NFL possibly say?

This is one of the most difficult things for me not living in south Florida, and not getting to see the preseason games live. I know it is preseason, but why the NFL and DirectV can see fit to let us see these games just drives me crazy. Re-air is okay, but just not the same.

Season Opener
by phinman013 on Jul 15, 2009 6:18 PM EDT
on The Phinsider
I am so happy, I scored a great deal on a hotel (hotwire) in downtown Atlanta just four blocks from the Georgia Dome, and a 50 yard line (Dolphins' sideline) 4th row. I am stoked. Looking for any other Dolphins' fans in the Atlanta area. I will be in the night of the 12th of September. Looking to party the night before. Season ticket holder down in Miami, but live in Denver. This should be a great game.
My cool license plate cover. Still looking for other Denver phins' fans.
