MIAMI (CBSMiami/AP) — The Miami Heat are dotting the I’s and crossing the T’s.
The Heat sent a letter to Miami-Dade County commissioners Tuesday, saying they want to set the record straight on what the team perceives as misconceptions about the relationship between it and the county as a new naming-rights deal looms.
The letter from Heat Business Operations President Eric Woolworth comes about three weeks after county officials exercised their right to take full control of negotiations for the next naming-rights deal for the arena where the team plays.
The county chose an option to pay the Heat $2 million annually starting in 2020 and keep the rest.
