Miami Beach loosens spring break restrictions, aims to draw calmer crowds

For the first time in two years, the city of Miami Beach is loosening its spring break restrictions as it aims to usher in a calmer crowd. 

The Miami International Airport expects more than 5 million passengers during its 33-day spring break travel season. The periods between March 12–15 and March 19–22 are expected to generate the largest spring break crowds for Miami Beach this year.

"We are divorced with spring break," said Christopher Bess, public information officer with the Miami Beach Police Department.
