PATTERSON ON BEACH WITH FAMILY STORY: As Miami plays host to Super Bowl LIV, fans of the NFL mingled with others who couldn't care less about Sunday's big game.
The city is hosting the Super Bowl for the 11th time so many residents have seen the craziness that is the nation's biggest sporting event several times.
Miami has long been a destination for tourists and part-time residents due to its warmer temperatures during the U.S. winter and is no stranger to thousands of visitors descending on the city.
The San Francisco 49ers and Kansas City Chiefs are scheduled to meet in Sunday's (February 2) Super Bowl, with the Chiefs playing in their first NFL title game in 50 years.
