Turn The Beat Around: Estefans To Become 'Fins Minority Owners

Dolphins Reportedly Using Emilio (l), Gloria Estefan As Hispanic Ambassadors

ADDING TO GAME-DAY EXPERIENCE: In Ft. Lauderdale, Sarah Talalay notes Ross "has been seeking minority partners for months," and he has also been "working to infuse entertainment into the stadium experience for fans." A source said that Emilio Estefan has "already been working on original songs to add to the game-day experience" (South Florida SUN-SENTINEL, 6/23). Talalay noted while it is "not expected to be announced on Thursday, perhaps an off-shoot of Estefan Enterprises' successful Bongos Cuban Cafe restaurant chain could be installed at the stadium." There are "several Bongos locations, including one adjacent to AmericanAirlines Arena, as well as in Miami Beach, Orlando, and Mexico City" (SUN-SENTINEL.com, 6/22). In Miami, Greg Cote wrote, "If this is a systematic march through every So-Fla celeb in the music business, I can only presume the Dolphins will somehow find a way to skip over Luther Campbell and 2 Live Crew" (MIAMIHERALD.com, 6/22). PROFOOTBALLTALK.com's Gregg Rosenthal wrote, "Maybe Ricky Martin will be the next minority owner of the Dolphins" (PROFOOTBALLTALK.com, 6/22).
