Fins Nation unites in Wynwood to watch the Miami Dolphins Season Opener (includes video story)

It’s been 245 days since ‘Fins Nation’ has seen their Miami Dolphins take a snap in the regular season. They showed up and showed out in Wynwood excited that the wait was finally over.

However, that excitement quickly turned around as the Dolphins continued to let the Indianapolis Colts demolish them. The defense had no way to stop the Daniel Jones and the Colt’s offense while the Dolphins offense of their own struggled to put up points. Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa had two turnovers and frustrations grew on the Sideline with Tyreek Hill visibly upset.

Even though it was a tough watch for Dolphins fans, this team and their fan base is resilient and can over come these difficult times.

“I go to all the games. I’m very positive, I spread positivity and try to inspire others as much as I can” says Lisa Siegel, a fan who kept the energy high throughout the game despite the final result.

It may be a dark time for the Fins right now but it’s important to remember that once a Dolphin, always a Dolphin.
