Miami toning down event planned for Castro death

A Miami-organised event scheduled to take place at a US football stadium when Cuban president Fidel Castro dies will be toned down following outrage from some members of the Cuban-American community, city leaders said.

Miami Mayor Manny Diaz said the event planned at the Orange Bowl was part of the local government’s plan to accommodate overflow crowds in the event of Castro’s death, but he said there would not be a city-funded celebration.
