When they heard that Elvis was coming to South Florida the fans showed up early to buy tickets -- so early that the gates of the Orange Bowl were locked.
Undeterred, they climbed the fence and broke into the Orange Bowl, snuggled in their coats and blankets (it had snowed in Miami a few days before and it was still cold) to await the opening of the box office.
Elvis began the tour in Hollywood, Florida on February 12, 1977.
