What it's known for
A 2010s renovation added a canopy over the seating bowl that shades most fans from Miami’s sun and rain while leaving the field open. The stadium has hosted multiple Super Bowls, and its grounds host the Miami Open tennis tournament and the Formula 1 Miami Grand Prix, run on a track around the stadium.
The Dolphins’ 1972 perfect season is celebrated around the building; the Dolphins remain the only NFL team to go undefeated through a Super Bowl win.
Getting there
Hard Rock Stadium is in Miami Gardens, north of downtown Miami. Most fans drive and park in the large surrounding lots, which are popular for tailgating.
Tips for your visit
- Even with the canopy, early-season afternoon games are very hot; hydrate.
- Check whether your seats are shaded when you buy tickets.
- Leave extra time for traffic on the highways around the stadium.
