About Hard Rock Stadium
Hard Rock Stadium is a multi-purpose stadium located in Miami Gardens, Florida, a city north of Miami. It is the home stadium of the Miami Dolphins of the National Football League (NFL) and the Miami Hurricanes, the University of Miami's NCAA Division I college football team. The stadium also hosts the Orange Bowl, the Miami Open tennis tournament, and the Formula 1 Miami Grand Prix.
Originally opened in 1987 as Joe Robbie Stadium, it has undergone a massive privately-funded renovation that added an open-air canopy roof to shade spectators from the intense Florida sun. The roof covers 92% of the seating bowl but leaves the playing field exposed to the elements. The stadium has hosted six Super Bowls, including Super Bowls XXIII, XXIX, XXXIII, XLI, XLIV, and LIV.
The venue is known for its versatility and luxury experiences, featuring art galleries, clubs, and gondolas. The campus layout allows for complex event setups, such as constructing a tennis campus or a race track around the stadium. It stands as a premier global entertainment destination in South Florida.
