Hard Rock Stadium, NFL stadium in Miami Gardens, United States
Hard Rock Stadium is a multi-purpose stadium in Miami Gardens, Florida, built of gray steel with an open seating bowl. A steel truss ring above the stands carries a central blue circular sign reading "Hard Rock STADIUM", with white pylons and cable-supported roof panels on the left and right. The green field is marked with white yard lines and numerals, and the near end zone turf reads "49ERS" in red and gold beside a red oval logo, with two yellow uprights at the far end. It seats 65,326 for football and soccer, 27,397 in the lower tier and 34,736 in the upper.
The stadium opened on August 16, 1987, after construction began in December 1985 under the original name Joe Robbie Stadium. Over the years, it went through several renamings and renovations before receiving its current name in 2016.
The venue serves as home field for both the Miami Dolphins NFL team and the University of Miami Hurricanes college football program. On game days, the stands fill with fans wearing team jerseys, cheering loudly with chants that echo throughout the open bowl structure.
Visitors should follow the clear bag policy and use cashless payment systems available throughout the facility. Detailed parking information is available online, with early arrival recommended on event days.
Since 2022 the stadium grounds have held the Miami International Autodrome, a temporary circuit for Formula One's Miami Grand Prix. The track is laid out on the parking areas around the building, not through the stadium itself. The Dolphins' home field sits inside the circuit loop.
