The Miami Heat will be hosting their first “Greek Night” on Tuesday, February 12. Greek students from area universities such as the University of Miami, Florida Atlantic University and Florida International University will be treated to an hour-long pre-game social at the American Airlines Arena. Ticket prices for Greek students will be $25 and will include a game ticket, food and admission to the social event. Ten percent of the proceeds will go to charity. The Heat game against the Denver Nuggets will begin at 7:30 p.m., and the Greek social will begin at 6:30.
Greek students are encouraged to wear their jerseys, and the Heat has provided block seating for all Greeks.
