Dania debuts new sky box, wear Gator garb and get free pitcher of beer
The new "Gator Skybox" makes its debut Saturday at Dania Jai-Alai, in time for the Tennessee game.
Wear a UF Gator shirt or show your Dade-Broward Gator Club card and get a free pitcher of beer. (As bad as Tennessee's offense, you could play a drinking game: chug after every Vol first down. You'll still have beer left over.) You also could get in some jai-alai bets, horse simulcast wagers or play poker.
The skybox has a 110-inch screen, prize drawings and barbecue from Scruby's (the place that has so many coupons in Showtime each week that my brother-in-law can eat there and almost turn a profit).
Kickoff is at 3:30 p.m.
NICK SORTAL began playing 3-card "gut" and "Indian poker" on high school band trips, moved on to "night baseball" and "pass the trash" during a Dr. Pepper-infused midnight game in the 1980s at the St. Louis Globe-Democrat, and now play in a regular neighborhood Hold 'Em game in Plantation. I have been given the assignment of writing about the gambling life in South Florida casinos for the Sun-Sentinel...which means sitting around watching poker on TV now counts as research.
