30 minutes to Miami from Ft Lauderdale.
55 minutes from Boca to Miami

19th Orange Bowl Classic- BBT Center Sunrise Fl(West Ft Lauderdale)
5pm FAU vs FSU 7pm uf vs Oklahoma
20th Miami Heat vs Blazers 1pm Am Airlines Arena - Miami
20th Canucks vs Panthers 4pm BBT Center Sunrise, Fl
21st Miami Beach Bowl 2pm WKU vs USF Marlins'Stadium-Miami

Hard Rock Casino-Hollywood , Fl
Isle Casino-Pompano Beach
Seminole Casino-Coconut Creek


Of course there is an event calendar for the Boca Raton Bowl(Try to make the Rocket pep rally at Mizner Park in Boca early Monday evening. There are plenty of places to eat and maybe grab a libation within walking distance.) Also you've got plenty of MAC Bowl games to watch.

Just booked my flight in. Nice stadium. Oh yeah there is a beach. Is there a message board reunion?

Jeff, finding things to do in South Florida won't be very difficult.

If you want to stick around Boca Raton, you can hit Mizner Park which is mostly shops and restaurants. http://www.miznerpark.com/en.html

Also, you can head about 5 minutes North to Delray Beach and visit Atlantic Avenue. This is definitely a must see in the area, especially in the evening. They have a 100' tall artificial tree. http://www.downtowndelraybeach.com/

Seems to recall there's scuba diving around that area.

Count me in. Wife can't get away, so it is just me.

Won't be able to make the bowl trip. Family coming up from Florida, a bunch of activities with grandkids, and just too close to XMAS. Looks like there will be a strong contingent of Rocket fans in Boca.

My wife and I will be at the pep rally and game. We now live 20 minutes south in Coconut Creek. Looking forward to seeing everyone.

Thanks to both for the info

Temple fan here. Looking forward to the game and a renewed encounter with the Rockets!! Congrats on a great year to date for you.

Curious - how many Toledo fans would you expect in attendance?
