Excitement rampant among both Heat and Celtics fans at FTX Arena for Game 7

The energy was electric as fans filed through the doors of FTX Arena for Sundayā€™s Game 7 of the Eastern Conference Finals between the Heat and Boston Celtics.

Despite the nasty weather that greeted folks in downtown Miami, die hard Heat fans remained focused.

ā€œWeā€™re trying to get jerseys like for the game,ā€ said Liza Magana. ā€œWeā€™re pretty excited.ā€

Boston fans also excitedly walked through the doors, boldly walking in enemy territory.

ā€œI just flew in this morning,ā€ said Matthew Torres. ā€œIā€™m ready to kick that butt man. I hate the Heat. Canā€™t stand them.ā€

There was so much passion for both teams, with tickets for standing room only that had obstructed views selling on Ticketmaster for as much as $254 each.

Freddy Kriewitz and his girlfriend, both from Germany, scored a pair and admitted they were here for the hype.

ā€œShe likes basketball,ā€ Kriewitz said. ā€œI hate it. I hate all sports. Youā€™re in Miami, the thing to do is root for the Heat? Of course. I feel like Iā€™ll get killed if I donā€™t say that.ā€
