Route information Plan from this area

At Hard Rock Stadium

Buy parking before arrival

The Dolphins direct visitors to buy parking in advance; on-site purchase is not offered on the team’s visit page. Use the instructions for your specific game and pass.

Stadium information
Keep the return within lot hours

The 2026–27 parking terms describe lots closing 90 minutes after the game. Event-specific instructions can supersede the general terms.

Stadium information
Tailgate within your space

Where tailgating is permitted, use the marked 8 × 10 feet directly behind your vehicle and keep driving and pedestrian lanes clear. Do not assume a remote lot permits the same setup.

Stadium information
Grills and cleanup

Gas and charcoal grills are permitted under the stadium guidelines; open fires are prohibited. Fully extinguish coals and pack up before entering.

Stadium information
Rideshare needs a pickup plan

The Dolphins member FAQ identifies Lot 22 on NW 27th Avenue, south of Walmart, for pickup and drop-off. Confirm the game-specific map before requesting either ride; older event instructions can differ.

Stadium information
Save the mobile ticket

Add the ticket to your phone’s mobile wallet before game day, following the Dolphins’ account instructions.

Stadium information

Useful things to know

Is Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Beach?

No. It is in Miami Gardens. A Hollywood Beach or Aventura stay needs a separate stadium journey.

Can I use an old shuttle announcement?

Use the transportation information attached to your actual Dolphins game. Preseason, college-football and prior-season shuttle announcements do not establish service for your date.
