The Miami Heat has returned to Florida Atlantic University (FAU) for training camp. From Sept. 26-30 the Heat will be using FAU Arena. This will be the second time FAU has been home to the Heat training camp, previously in the 2015-2016 season.

“Florida Atlantic University is proud to host the three-time World Champions Miami HEAT to our campus for training camp,” said Pat Chun, FAU vice president and director of athletics.

“Over the past few years, FAU has been fortunate to host some of the best organizations in sports on our campus,” he said. “We look forward to assisting the Heat in their preparation for the 2017-18 season.”

While the practices may be closed to the public, the Miami Heat’s annual Red, White, and Pink open scrimmage is scheduled for Saturday, Sept. 30 at 11 a.m at FAU Arena. Doors are expected to open 10 a.m.

Tickets are $1, with proceeds benefiting Miami Cancer Institute. There is an eight-ticket maximum per transaction.

The Heat will be giving away free tickets to Saturday’s scrimmage, along with merchandise, to FAU students outside of the library on Wednesday, Sept. 27 at 11 a.m. or on Thursday, Sept. 28 at 11 a.m. on Diversity Way. FAU students must show their student ID to receive one ticket while supplies last.
