Miami plans party after Castro's death

Miami wants to use the Orange Bowl in Little Havana to throw a party after the death of Fidel Castro (pictured).

It might include commemorative T-shirts, a catchy slogan and bands that will make your hips shake.

The stadium is a bittersweet landmark for Cuban-Americans. After the 1961 Bay of Pigs fiasco, more than 35,000 exiles gathered there to hear President John F. Kennedy promise a free Cuba. Decades later, the stadium served as a camp for Mariel boatlift refugees.

City Commissioner Tomas Regalado, a Cuban-American, came up with the idea of using the venue for an event timed to Castro's demise.

"He represents everything bad that has happened to the people of Cuba for 48 years," Regalado said. "There is something to celebrate, regardless of what happens next. ... We get rid of the guy."

It is easy to understand the strong feelings of Cubans who have been adversely affected by Castro since 1959.
