Hard Rock Stadium

Miami

LoginSave

The newly renovated (and renamed) Hard Rock Stadium (formerly known as Sun Life Stadium) is the home turf of the Miami Dolphins. ‘Dol-fans’ are respectably crazy about their team, even if a Super Bowl showing has evaded them since 1985. Games are wildly popular and the team is painfully successful, in that they always raise fans’ hopes but never quite fulfill them.

The stadium, 15 miles north of Downtown in Miami Gardens, also hosts big concerts as well as the Orange Bowl. The 2020 Superbowl (LIV) is scheduled to take place here.
