Hard Rock Stadium

The stadium is in Miami Gardens, in a suburban area surrounded by residential neighborhoods. Its location between I-95 and the Florida Turnpike provides highway access from all directions.

Driving & Parking

• Driving
  From I-95, take Exit 2B (NW 199th Street/Hard Rock Stadium) and follow signs. From the Florida Turnpike, take Exit 2X (NW 199th Street). From downtown Miami, take I-95 North — about 20 minutes without traffic, 45+ on game days. From Fort Lauderdale, take I-95 South — about 15 minutes. Game-day traffic on NW 199th Street and NW 27th Avenue is heavy.
• Parking
  Official stadium lots must be pre-purchased through the Dolphins' website. The Pink, Orange, Blue, and Green lots offer tailgating spaces. Private lots along NW 27th Avenue and NW 199th Street are often cheaper. For tailgate supplies, Publix Super Market on Miramar Pkwy. and Walmart Supercenter in the area are convenient. For beverages, Total Wine & More has a massive South Florida selection, and Liquored Up Liquor & Wine Boutique is a local option.
• Park & Ride Lots
  The Dolphins run shuttles from park and rides at Lot 70 in Ft. Lauderdale and Lot 95 at the Golden Glades parking garage in Miami.

Public Transit

• Fans can purchase specific "End Zone Express" Brightline Train tickets to the Aventura Station where a complimentary shuttle takes you to the stadium, 10 minutes after the train arrives

Rideshare

• Designated rideshare zones are on NW 199th Street and Dan Marino Blvd. Expect surge pricing on game days. Post-game wait times can exceed 30 minutes. Walking to the perimeter lots and requesting pickup from NW 27th Avenue can reduce wait times.

The Miami Gardens area surrounding the stadium is primarily residential, so the pregame scene is centered on the tailgate lots and a handful of nearby restaurants. The broader South Florida area offers world-class dining and nightlife, but most of it is a drive away.
