As friends who are born and raised the Miami area once told us, in Florida you have to "go north to go south".

What I find interesting is that in spite of what the late 20th century did to the demographics of the Miami area (lots of Cubans and also people from other parts of Latin America), pro soccer and baseball (the latter being very popular in Cuba) have always been a tough sell there as well.
