Miami Heat Take On Pelicans Monday Night In Preseason Action Without Any Fans At AAA

MIAMI (CBSMiami) – The Miami Heat are looking to start a second run at an NBA finals appearance. The team is scheduled to play the first of two preseason games Monday night at the AmericanAirlines Arena, but there won't be any fans there.

Season ticket holders were notified last week that no fans will be allowed in the stands for games at AAA for the start of the upcoming season.

"At this time, the amount of games we will host without fans is unknown. Believe me, I'm not happy being the bearer of this news," said Eric Woolworth, VP Business Operations wrote in an email to season ticket holders.

The Heat host the New Orleans Pelicans at 7:00 p.m.

The Heat will also face off against the Pelicans in their regular season home opener on Christmas Day.
