Overview
- Miami Heat beat reporter Ira Winderman posted that Frost Bank Center locker rooms were closed with signs stating they were being disinfected.
- He wrote that the building “smells the same” as two prior stops this season, making this the third such instance for Miami.
- The pattern followed concerts in Orlando on Oct. 11, Charlotte on Oct. 26, and San Antonio on Oct. 29, each preceding a Heat game in those arenas.
- Winderman did not identify the odor’s source, though multiple outlets suggested it was consistent with concert-related marijuana.
- Separate coverage of NBA YoungBoy’s tour has cited safety issues including assaults, in-venue fights, and cancellations in cities such as Kansas City, Chicago, Atlanta, and Detroit.
