Fort Lauderdale, Florida – June 29, 2006 – From the tension-filled moments and loud cheers to the final seconds of celebration, Sidelines Sports Bar was the place to be to watch the Miami Heat capture its first NBA Championship! “It was so exciting, people were everywhere throughout the club screaming ‘Let’s Go Heat!’ remembers Laurie, co-owner of the bar. For three straight weeks of the NBA Finals, Sidelines Sports Bar, with its 14 flat-screen TVs, became the most popular gay venue where basketball fans could go and watch their home team play.

Equally momentous, are the matches of the World Cup 2006, which are currently being shown at Sidelines Sports Bar. Soccer fans from all over the world have come to watch their country’s team compete and have enjoyed the camaraderie and competition these matches generate.
