Verificato novembre 2026
For anyone with a ticket to a game, race or stadium show. The building runs well, but it's far north of the beaches, parking sells out, and the bag, cash and phone rules catch people every event.
Bag, phone, card
Three rules catch people at the gate. The clear bag policy applies at every event, so leave the backpack at home. Tickets are digital and live in the official app, which also holds parking passes and stadium maps. Charge your phone and load everything before you hit the crowd. The stadium is cashless, so concessions take cards and phones only. It's also non-smoking throughout. None of this is unusual for an NFL building, but each rule turns someone around at security on a busy day.
Parking and the ride in
Stadium parking sells out for big games, and the site has been flagging exactly that, with Park & Ride passes still on offer. Buy whichever you're using before the day. Showing up hoping for a lot spot is how you end up circling Miami Gardens. The stadium sits well north of downtown and the beaches, so budget real time for the drive in and more for the exit. Tailgating is a big part of game day, and the stadium publishes its own tailgating guidelines worth reading before you pack a grill. Hours depend entirely on the event, so check gate times for your date.
More than Dolphins Sundays
The Dolphins are the main tenant, and the November schedule lists Lions vs. Dolphins on November 8 at 1 pm. The University of Miami plays here too, with Duke on November 14 and Virginia Tech on November 21. Outside football season, the grounds host the Miami Open tennis tournament and the Formula 1 Miami Grand Prix, plus international soccer and large concerts. It holds a 4.6 from about 20,300 Google reviews, which is strong for a building this size. The team store, on Dan Marino Blvd. through Gate 11, opens Wednesday to Friday 11 am to 5 pm and Saturday 11 am to 3 pm.
Come arrivare
- The team store is closed Sunday through Tuesday, so don't plan a shopping stop on a non-event Monday.
Parcheggio
If stadium parking is sold out for your game, Park & Ride passes may still be available. Buy them ahead of time.
