Are you a Patriots fan looking for a little late summer quickie vacation?  Well I have a suggestion.  How about opening day in Miami?

NFL TicketsYup, that’s right why not kick off the 2011 NFL season on the road in Miami when our New England Patriots face the Dolphins on Monday Night Football on September 12.

According to ProFootballTalk.com the Miami Dolphins have about 3,000 tickets available for Week 1 AFC East match up with the Patriots.  And if you know any Tennessee Titans fans there’s 15,000 tickets left for the Week 2 match up at Sun Life Stadium.

If the Dolphins don’t sell out the game on Monday Night it will be there first non-sell out in 102 games which is almost 13 full seasons.  And more importantly to football fans in South Florida the game will be blacked out meaning no Monday Night Football.

If you’re interested in tickets you can get them through Ticketmaster’s website.
