Would you buy a limited-edition themed sports jersey if you could?
Heat fans heading to Kaseya Center on November 18, 2026 will get a limited-edition 'A Night in Vice City' jersey and GTA-inspired food stands, as the Heat debut Vice City-themed gear against the Bucks ahead of the game's November 19 release.
Why it matters
Miami is the real-world model for Vice City, the fictional setting of Grand Theft Auto VI, and the arena is now part of that tie-in. For Miami-Dade fans, it turns a regular home game into a local send-off for one of the year's biggest game launches.
The promotion is tied to a single home game on November 18, 2026, against the Bucks, with the limited jersey given only to attendees that night. The announced details do not specify quantities or how many concession stands will carry the GTA-inspired menu.

Beyond the 305
The Heat are using the real Miami as the backdrop for Vice City, the fictional city Rockstar based on the 305, so the arena event connects the game's setting back to the place it portrays. The promotion lands a few weeks before a release that has drawn attention to Miami's place in the game.
If you have a ticket for the November 18 Heat game, you will get the limited Vice City jersey and find GTA-inspired food vendors in the concourse. The night is a one-off tied to that date, so plan your trip to Kaseya Center accordingly.
The takeaway
The Heat's Vice City night is a one-time event on November 18, 2026, so Miami fans who want the limited jersey need a ticket for that game. Watch for the Heat's ticketing and promotion details ahead of the date.
