552 | Date of experience: September 2015 | 5-Sep-15 | ACC | Georgia Tech | 5 | Best CFB Stadium Atmosphere | Bobby Dodd is just fun. It's not too loud or raucous and the students aren't too drunk or obnoxious. The location in central Atlanta creates a unique game-day atmosphere that can't be missed (although you want to leave the car at home, if possible). Definitely one of CFB's great stadiums. |
553 | Date of experience: October 2014 | 30-Aug-15 | ACC | Georgia Tech | 3 | Nice stadium, too many people | It's a beautiful area but TONS of people and that means big crowds we couldn't find anything. Not to mention we had trouble finding parking. But in the end it was a good trip. |
556 | Date of experience: November 2014 | 27-May-15 | ACC | Georgia Tech | 5 | Where football was meant to be played | The oldest Division I stadium in the country, Bobby Dodd Stadium is my favorite place to watch a game. With only 55,000 seats, the stadium is large enough to really feel the excitement but no so big that you are too far away from the action. Under the towering skyline of Atlanta, the night games are better than anywhere in America. Go to a game and see for yourself. Go Jackets! |
558 | Date of experience: October 2014 | 21-Dec-14 | ACC | Georgia Tech | 5 | Duke @ Georgia Tech veterans Day | this was my first ever college football game, wonderful atmosphere before the game, some veterans invited me to join there tailgating and even upgraded my tickets for me which was amazing, had a brilliant time just a shame they lost and the random lightning storm interrupting the game. would definitely watch georgia tech here again the next time i visit atlanta! |
559 | Date of experience: November 2014 | 6-Dec-14 | ACC | Georgia Tech | 5 | Great Seats Everywhere | love this stadium. We sat in the endzone and still enjoyed the game. Not really a bad seat anywhere. nice Atlanta skyline in the background. Easy access from several locations around Atlanta and the school. historic and well maintained |
560 | Date of experience: October 2014 | 9-Oct-14 | ACC | Georgia Tech | 5 | Great college atmosphere | My daughter is a senior at Tech and a member of the marching band. We've been coming to all the games for four years. This past Saturday (10/4/14) was a night game versus Miami. Big game, great crowd, fantastic time. No bad seats in this stadium. Great tradition with over 100 years of playing football here. |
561 | Date of experience: October 2013 | 4-May-14 | ACC | Georgia Tech | 4 | History | Great place to watch a game. Get there early if it's the Ga/Ga Tech game. Had to have my tickets validated once to prove I had the valid tickets and remove several people who had bought counterfeit tickets. Small venue but cool with the Atlanta skyline all around you. |
562 | Date of experience: November 2013 | 2-Jan-14 | ACC | Georgia Tech | 5 | Nothing but good views from Bobby Dodd stadium. | We loved the atmosphere and the sight lines from this stadium. There isn't a bad seat in the house. The concessions are nothing to write home about and they don't serve alcohol (unless you're in the club section or a suite). The fans around us were all nice and very into the game, which helped the viewing experience. The stadium only seats 55,000 so the action is really close. There are great views of Atlanta from the West or North stands, and it's very pretty during a night game. I also think it's the oldest FBS on college campus stadium in the USA. Parking can be scarce but Marta is an easy walk to the stadium. |
563 | Date of experience: November 2013 | 13-Nov-13 | ACC | Georgia Tech | 4 | Easy Access for a Major College Stadium | I saw my first game in Bobby Dodd after living in the Atlanta area for 30 years. I did not attend Tech so I am totally impartial. The stadium is a short walk from the North Ave MARTA station, and I discovered there is a walking tunnel that goes under the highway and right to the stadium.There are great views of downtown Atlanta from the stadium and its even better at night. The fans were more respectful than most other college venues I've been to. After the game it was quite easy to exit - good flow from all the exits and a short walk back to the MARTA station. |
564 | Date of experience: November 2013 | 3-Nov-13 | ACC | Georgia Tech | 4 | Awesome skyline views | Home of the Jackets, BDS is unique for major college football stadiums as it is located right in the middle of the city, offering great views of Atlanta from the upper decks. Grab your gold and cheer on the Jackets for a great Atlanta experience |
565 | Date of experience: November 2012 | 16-Aug-13 | ACC | Georgia Tech | 5 | Great Location to Watch College Football! | I'll start by saying that I am a little partial since I am a GT grad. However, my review can be backed up by non GT fans. Bobby Dodd stadium is neat place to watch a college football game. It is located right in the middle of Atlanta. You can see the Atlanta skyline while watching a Tech game at Bobby Dodd stadium. It has a very intimate feel when watching a game. I have friends that currently go to Tech games just to watch a college football game since their school or team is miles away. There is nothing special about the concessions that sets this stadium apart from other stadiums, but the game watching experience is great! |
566 | Date of experience: September 2012 | 6-Jun-13 | ACC | Georgia Tech | 5 | Go, Jackets! | Be sure to see a game at the Bobby Dodd stadium. School spirit is strong, and the stadium is both comfortable and has great field visibility from every seat. |
567 | Date of experience: November 2012 | 22-May-13 | ACC | Georgia Tech | 3 | The smallish size is the best part! | This is an older stadium without many of the ammenities of the newer stadiums. That said, it's small size makes up for it's shortcomings as there really isn't a bad seat in the house. It almost never sells out, you can buy tix on the street for most games at below face value. |
569 | Date of experience: October 2012 | 22-Mar-13 | ACC | Georgia Tech | 5 | Yellow Jackets Rule | This is a great place to attend a college football game. Try to arrive early, parking can be a problem. Plan to eat at the Varsity on game day. |
570 | Date of experience: November 2012 | 25-Feb-13 | ACC | Georgia Tech | 5 | YELLOW JACKET HEAVEN | Great place to watch a game. Not too big. Not a bad seat in the house. Concessions very reasonable. Rest rooms were clean. Had a wonderful time. |
571 | Date of experience: November 2012 | 13-Feb-13 | ACC | Georgia Tech | 5 | Greatest stadium in America | Where do we start? Oldest D1 stadium in America. Rich in history, tradition and integrity. On the campus of Georgia Tech which is the top school for students from all over the world. |
572 | Date of experience: October 2012 | 11-Feb-13 | ACC | Georgia Tech | 5 | Yellow Jackets | If you are into college football this is a must. Home of the Tech Yellow Jackets. The team isn't that great but the stadium is awesome. |
573 | Date of experience: September 2012 | 11-Dec-12 | ACC | Georgia Tech | 5 | Best Place to See a College Football Game | Not too big to get a real feel for the action!! At night you can see all the lights of Atlanta and there is not a bad seat in the whole stadium. |
575 | Date of experience: September 2012 | 30-Oct-12 | ACC | Georgia Tech | 5 | Fun Afternoon of Football | I took the family earlier this fall to watch the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets battle the Miami (FLA) Hurricanes. Bobby Dodd Stadium is an EXCELLENT place to watch football...so much so, I'd bet even a Georgia fan would admit to this!Prior to the game, we grabbed a bite to eat close to the stadium, then strolled through the tailgates towards the stadium. The atmosphere was safe and family friendly and the fans were well behaved while having fun.Inside the stadium, we sat in the east upper deck. I quickly realized there's not a bad seat in the house considering how close the stands are to the field. For those of you who've seen a game at Notre Dame, you'll know what I mean.Please note: The east stands receive the brunt of the afternoon sun. So if you prefer shady seats, look to the west stands or the south end zone. Regarding seats, Georgia Tech football tickets are pretty easy to come by. First, try Stub Hub for the best deals.Give the Jackets a try. I bet you'll have a great time, even if the team on the field isn't the greatest. |
578 | Date of experience: September 2012 | 20-Sep-12 | ACC | Georgia Tech | 3 | Saturday afternoon GT football game | We visited Bobby Dodd field for the GT football game vs. Virginia. Spoiler alert- Tech won. The stadium is much smaller than I am used to (roughly 55,000 seats vs. 80,000+). That is not to say that it is bad, just much smaller. This makes for a more intimate experience. Our seats were in the upper deck, but the view of the field was good, and we were able to see all of the action with no problems.They serve standard stadium fare, including Papa Johns pizza (mediocre), nachos, pretzels, popcorn, sandwiches, etc. They also have Sonny's BBQ, pulled pork and pulled chicken, and a few specialty dining options, including some outstanding Mexican that are made to order. Alcohol is not served in the main part of the stadium (it may be served in the suite areas). Soda's run $4.00 for a small. The pizza was $8.00. A burrito was around $7.00 or $8.00. Prices are comparable to other college stadium venues.Two complaints, first the ramps to access the upper level seating area are at an extreme angel. Seniors or people with disabilities may find the walk extremely cumbersome.My second complaint involves the security at the venue. When escorting coaches to the elevators, security runs through the concourse yelling at people to move. In fact we saw one gentlemen get shoved out of the way and into a concrete pole. This occurred toward the end of halftime.One final though, the view from the stadium is outstanding. The Atlanta skyline is in the distance, and you have a great view of the surrounding buildings, both on campus and off campus. |
579 | Date of experience: November 2011 | 26-Jun-12 | ACC | Georgia Tech | 5 | Tech wins Again | Ga. Tech football is great and if you can visit during football season,what could be better that an afternoon watching college football and great band music. Its exciting. |
582 | Date of experience: November 2011 | 5-Apr-12 | ACC | Georgia Tech | 3 | Cold and Windy | We saw a Georgia Tech game and the game and the show was very good, however it was very windy and cold this day and we could not stay until the end. |
587 | Date of experience: November 2011 | 2-Jan-12 | ACC | Georgia Tech | 1 | Old and Nasty | Nasty old stadium with crowded corridors and fire trap regress. Horrific restroom facilities, and generic ball park food that doesn't change from vendor to vendor. Never again. |
589 | Date of experience: October 2011 | 15-Nov-11 | ACC | Georgia Tech | 5 | Lots of History: great football | worth a stop and look even if your not a Yellow Jacket. Oldest campus stadium in DI. Second oldest in all college football. lots of famous feet have trod the grass down below, including John Heisman as a coach for years. Right in middle of campus. across street from Tech's newest diner. Spend a half day or full day. Get some cheap tickets and spend the weekend. Might fall in love with one of the best academic institutions in the world. |
590 | Date of experience: September 2010 | 12-Feb-11 | ACC | Georgia Tech | 5 | Great Stadium | Great historical Stadium. Not like the cookie cutter stadiums at other places. beautiful views of downtown. |
599 | Date of experience: January 2023 | 15-Jan-23 | ACC | Miami | 3 | Had Good Food Choices | I am trying to make my way to all of the NFL stadiums. This is my 9th stadium visited. I would say this one doesn??t rate high on that list. This is because outside of the stadium is pretty bland and once you enter the stadium it is pretty bland. As you walk around to find food, it is lots of concrete and not much color or other fan activities. Once inside the actual bowl of the stadium it is pretty. Bright teal seats, big tvs in the corners, and a good view from about anywhere. |
600 | Date of experience: January 2023 | 9-Jan-23 | ACC | Miami | 4 | Nice modern stadium | Very cool stadium . Lots of food and beverage choices . 200 level had great views . Unless you want sun , don??t sit on visitors side . Same goes for 100s. Park in yellow 13,14 for quick exit. |
601 | Date of experience: December 2022 | 26-Dec-22 | ACC | Miami | 5 | Nice stadium | Parking was easy but a walk. Stadium was nice and partially covered. Even on level 300 end zone had a good view of the game. |
602 | Date of experience: November 2022 | 5-Dec-22 | ACC | Miami | 2 | Terrible transportation pickups, signage, and stadium personell customer service | The location of this stadium is terrible. We hired a driver to pick us up after the Pitt-Miami game after hearing there is no location to have a ride-share pick you up. The driver told us a crossroads of two streets to pick us up. The signage in this stadium is awful! Not only that, but we asked at least 5 different employees how to get to this location and every one of them gave us opposite directions. We walked, and walked, and walked so much we all had blisters. Finally, we saw a police car and walked across a parking lot and asked her where the location was, she didn't know and flagged down another cop car and he didn't either! It was bizarre, finally someone walking by showed us it was around the corner of where the cop cars were parked! This was all after midnight and if I were by myself or with just one other person I would feel very unsafe. |
603 | Date of experience: November 2022 | 29-Nov-22 | ACC | Miami | 5 | Awesome time | The stadium is clean , variety of food. The fans are friendly. Very up beat stadium. The only issue is ride share. It is a walk. |
605 | Date of experience: October 2022 | 24-Oct-22 | ACC | Miami | 2 | Nice stadium. Horrible rideshare organization. | Amenities in the stadium were very nice. They did a great job with the renovation. Aweaome place to watch a football game. My main issue is with their rideshare organization. There is absolutely 0. You would figure such a large stadium would have dedicated signage and a lot for drop off and for people to get an uber or lyft after the event. This is not the case. Plan to wait two hours after your event to get a ride home. Because of this, I will most likely not return to this venue. |
606 | Date of experience: December 2021 | 20-Oct-22 | ACC | Miami | 5 | Wonderful Orange Bowl Experience | Went on New Years Eve with my 14 year old daughter to see Michgan play n the Orangle Bowl. Although the game didn't go our way, the stadium is spectacular.The open air concept is wonderful as the weather was perfect in late December. Yes like all stadiums the food and drink are expensive. The food was better than most stadiums I have been to so take some comfort in the prices you are paying. Restrooms were clean and stocked. Escalators and elevators are available if you don't want to walk up the ramp to get to the top. We parked at a local casino down the road and there are free shuttles taking you to the stadium. We actually walked to the game and it was under 15 minutes and very safe. Rode the shutlle back as it was getting late. Plenty of buses so a very short wait. |
607 | Date of experience: October 2022 | 17-Oct-22 | ACC | Miami | 5 | Home of my Dolphins | First time at "The Rock", first Dolphins home game for us. It was easy to get to the stadium from our hotel in Hollywood. There was also a quick and easy get in/out from Parking Lot 14.The stadium looks amazing, outside and inside. Seats are comfortable and even if you are on the high seating sections, you can clearly see the game.I must say that every employee that we met or interacted with, treated us with a smile, were attentive, and cordial.Prices at the team store are higher than online stores. Concession prices are as expected on a venue like this. I must say that I enjoyed going to the game and I can't wait to come back. |
608 | Date of experience: October 2022 | 17-Oct-22 | ACC | Miami | 2 | Awful Parking! | The parking experience was a mess! We bought the online parking with is apparently required, and ending up parking in a lot at least a mile away. It was gravel, dirty, and getting out was the worst I've ever seen. We even saw one idiot run into another and they got into a fight. Terrible experience!! |
609 | Date of experience: October 2022 | 11-Oct-22 | ACC | Miami | 5 | dolphins game | amazing experience watching football. staff was great and the food and rinks were amazingly good. seats were incredible |
611 | Date of experience: September 2022 | 26-Sep-22 | ACC | Miami | 3 | Brutally Hot | Not having a dome or playing early games at night is unfair to fans. I felt faint and had to go to concession area several times to go under fans. They don??t even sell Gatorade or Powerade- only water in an aluminum bottle. Yuk! I don??t plan to go to a game here again. |
612 | Date of experience: September 2022 | 26-Sep-22 | ACC | Miami | 4 | Needs a roof | The stadium recently had a major renovation but missed probably the most important thing, a retractable roof. Miami's weather is very likely to get rain, lightning, and other storms that can affect the ongoing event which can lead to a long pause or a full cancelation. Besides that there are good food and beverage options, comfortable seating and nice decoration. |
615 | Date of experience: September 2022 | 21-Sep-22 | ACC | Miami | 4 | Hard rock stadium | The stadium is well located and accessible. The activity flew organized and the place looks safe. I noted parking rate higher than similar arenas . |
616 | Date of experience: September 2022 | 18-Sep-22 | ACC | Miami | 1 | Trashy venue with very trashy and abusive security | Tragically terrible venue for anything outside of sporting events. Extremely unprofessional and devastatingly poorly-trained security. I was manhandled instead of being told I was walking the wrong way. An emergency was announced and we were instructed to take cover due to lightning. Lightning began crashing down extremely close to the venue. While seeking my nearest exit, this ??security guard?? tried putting his hands on me instead of using words to direct me. Never in my life had I been touched like that. Shame on Hard Rock Stadium for their abusive security. It seemed like this man was wanting to get physical. It was shocking! I don??t know if he targeted me since I??m a smaller woman but he didn??t do so with another man who also had gone the wrong way and was adjacent to me trying to seek cover. Aside from that traumatic experience, I paid $500+ for seats where during the show there was no order. Anyone could stand anywhere. Aisles were not clear. Security guards were inconsistent with policies. A beverage concession set up in front of our floor seats. Our front row view became a line of people waiting for alcohol in front of us. Unsafe conditions with exit routes being blocked and not being able to safely move guests. Truly the worst venue I've ever seen a show at. Their least concern is the safety of their guests. You couldn't pay me enough to come back. |
617 | Date of experience: September 2022 | 12-Sep-22 | ACC | Miami | 4 | Dolphins Game | I went to the Dolphins home opener yesterday and tailgated for a couple hours before the game. The atmosphere is very welcoming, there's people offering food and throwing footballs to you. The shaded seats are also pretty nice since it is very hot in Florida. The only thing bad about the stadium is that leaving the parking lot can take a long time, About an hour or two. Worth themoney. |
618 | Date of experience: September 2022 | 11-Sep-22 | ACC | Miami | 2 | Why oh why....never again!!!!!! | Why, oh why, isn't this parking lot 42.. moving after 2 hrs...why!!!!!!!!!!!!Sitting here after a fun day of football in parking lot 42 for hours.Noone is moving.Noone is moving.Noone is moving.Why,why,why.Watch the game on tv!!!!!! |
619 | Date of experience: August 2022 | 1-Sep-22 | ACC | Miami | 4 | Very helpful staff | The staff I encountered were all very helpful. The drinks were reasonably priced and there were lots of locations so not too long of lineups. There is at least one phone charging station for a fee but you still have to have juice left in your phone 'cause you need an app. The bathroom line moved fast which means they have several. The trek to get to Uber at the Walmart is way too far and needs to be brought in closer which is also for safety reasons. |
620 | Date of experience: August 2022 | 27-Aug-22 | ACC | Miami | 1 | Horrible parking experience, never again | Total chaos in and out of the parking, one and an half hours to get in and crazy 2 and an half to get out. I will never come back. Worst than third world, never saw this before, absolutely no organization, simply chaos, unbelievable, cars in all directions, never, never again. |
622 | Date of experience: October 2021 | 30-Dec-21 | ACC | Miami | 5 | Great venue to catch the games | This was a no frills, game day experience. We were warned ahead of time that transportation to/from the stadium would be difficult. We ended up reserving a ride ahead of time, which worked out well. We ended up getting dropped off a quick walk from the stadium. Miami has their share of eclectic fans, which was a fun experience. Walking through the tailgates wasn't as contentious as you would have expected - their fans truly go all-out.There wasn't really anything about the stadium that stood out, it was easy to get drinks/food whenever you needed. The weather was amazing and had pretty good seats for a decent price. |
623 | Date of experience: December 2021 | 9-Dec-21 | ACC | Miami | 4 | First NFL game, great time! | First time ever to an NFL game, had a blast! The stadium looks great. Easy to get in and find our seats. Friendly staff. People should keep it clean taking their trash after the game. Only downside, had to walk long distance to parking, but it was free. |
624 | Date of experience: December 2020 | 16-Nov-21 | ACC | Miami | 3 | Fun Time! | Fun stadium, easy to get too. Coming from a visiting team, the atmosphere was still a good time. Worth making a vacation out of |
625 | Date of experience: November 2021 | 13-Nov-21 | ACC | Miami | 1 | Too much alcohol. People drink outside and enter the stadium WASTED. | Went to a Dolphins game Nov 11, 2021. Drunk fans just behind us, were EXTREMELY loud screaming their lungs out. We had to leave at midgame. They reeked of alcohol. Unacceptable behavior and security did not address that. Not a place to take my kids. Parking and food overpriced. |
626 | Date of experience: November 2021 | 12-Nov-21 | ACC | Miami | 4 | Visitor for ftbl game | I haven't been to Hard Rock Stadium in about 5 years. The upgrade is noticeable. No problem with the lines to get in. The staff made sure everyone was informed before going in regarding rules. Food variety is ok. The quickest woman bathroom line in all my nfl stadium visits across the USA. |
627 | Date of experience: November 2021 | 12-Nov-21 | ACC | Miami | 4 | Get an early start getting here | Get club seats if you happen to attend a football game here. The seat was reasonably comfortable and there??s easy access to bathrooms and food. The food is INCREDIBLY expensive for ballpark food. I had a burger, fries, and Pepsi for $35. It was good but not that good. Head to the stadium early, parking is hell here due to the construction. |
628 | Date of experience: October 2021 | 29-Oct-21 | ACC | Miami | 5 | What a sports venue | Had club seats for a Dolphins game. What a great stadium. Easy to get in and out of. Comfortable seats and great views. |
629 | Date of experience: September 2021 | 25-Sep-21 | ACC | Miami | 1 | Chaotic experience! | Unfortunately this stadium used to be easy to get to and to park safely and a fun stress free experience! . I went by charter bus prior to the Covid lockdown and it took us almost 2 hours to get out of the parking lot. I have friends who attended games this year and it was an absolute nightmare! Having Fans walk 20 minutes in the dark to try to get a ride share/ Uber /Lyft shows the new management doesn??t care about their fans. It??s dangerous with the traffic and you would think the stadium/ Dolphins would promote safe driving. Unfortunately they don??t care. It??s become the most chaotic Stadium in the Country . It??s so sad when profit outweighs safety protocols for loyal fans! |
630 | Date of experience: September 2021 | 25-Sep-21 | ACC | Miami | 1 | Hopeless , Mean spirited , stupidly over priced . | Train staff to know where lyft and Uber pick up points are. They knew nothing. Make more pick-up locations available. It's 90 degrees and one shouldn't have to walk 0.5 Miles to meet a car outside the stadium. |
631 | Date of experience: September 2021 | 22-Sep-21 | ACC | Miami | 3 | Even the 300s where good | We were recently here from out of town to check out the Miami Dolphins game. The parking here was pretty easy. We had bought a Yellow Parking Lot pass and that worked out really nicely. The fans we ran into all seemed good and were their for a fun time. The walk from the lot to the stadium was only about 10 minutes. You could fly through security, they really had things streamlined. The stadium was clean and decently updated. What I was very surprised with was the great view we had from our seats in 303. The atmosphere in the stadium was average, I wouldn't put it at the top of the stadiums I've visited, but it was a friendly place for us neutral fans. |
632 | Date of experience: September 2021 | 21-Sep-21 | ACC | Miami | 3 | No more standing room only | The standing room only sections in the corners of the end zones on the upper deck have been taken away we never went to our seats we always stayed there now they are gone what a huge disappointment |
633 | Date of experience: September 2021 | 20-Sep-21 | ACC | Miami | 4 | Worth a visit | Very nice and clean stadium. We were on the Club level and had an incredible array of food options to choose from. Only complaint is the prices were exorbitant!!Parking was easy and we were surprised how quickly we were able to leave after the game. |
634 | Date of experience: September 2021 | 12-Sep-21 | ACC | Miami | 5 | Great Stadium | We go here often for Canes games and continue to be impressed. We were worried the construction would make parking/entry more difficult but we were pleasantly surprised to find that this wasn??t the case. Clean bathrooms and relatively reasonable concession prices (for a stadium). We refilled our water bottles with the water fountains and the water was pretty good - no metallic or dirty taste that you frequently get from water fountains. Every stadium employee we??ve encountered is pleasant and friendly. Can??t wait for our next visit to watch our Canes! |
638 | Date of experience: January 2021 | 19-Jan-21 | ACC | Miami | 5 | Football Championship | Even with Covid this was a terrific trip. The crowd was amazing as well as the staff and the process of getting everyone in and out safely. Overall terrific venue. |
639 | Date of experience: January 2021 | 3-Jan-21 | ACC | Miami | 5 | Spectacular Orange Bowl - A shout-out to Floridians | Our experience at the Orange Bowl was one that deserves a shout-out to the workers, stadium staff, and Gov DeSantis for allowing the public to enjoy the game, safely. The stadium staff were so friendly and welcoming - from the security guards, ticket takers, concession workers, restroom attendants, and ushers. They monitored and enforced the wearing of masks, social distancing and the stadium was immaculate. There was a good variety of food choices, and it wasn??t all fried foods. Kudos to Florida and your hospitality. |
640 | Date of experience: December 2020 | 18-Dec-20 | ACC | Miami | 5 | Great experience! | Always a great place to go. Been there for several events, this was the first time for a Dolphin game (during a pandemic). Felt safe and welcome from the start. Everyone was so helpful and friendly. The seat spacing is perfect, they make sure is everyone is wearing their masks. All areas were clean. I can't say enough about what a great job they all do and thanks for a great experience! Can't wait to go back. |
641 | Date of experience: October 2020 | 6-Oct-20 | ACC | Miami | 4 | Dolphins Game | Recently attended a Dolphins game. Impressed with the Covid protocols put in place for all. Very pleasant experience considering. |
643 | Date of experience: August 2019 | 20-Jul-20 | ACC | Miami | 5 | Miami Dolphins versus Atlanta Falcons | Went twice in one week and the place is great. All the entertainment was superb and the kids loved being there. The shop is superb and worth a visit, and the food halls have fantastic variety. |
647 | Date of experience: December 2019 | 16-Feb-20 | ACC | Miami | 4 | Battle for Burrow | The stadium was easy to find. I recommend that if you search for directions, make sure your settings are on to avoid tolls because there are many tolls in Miami. The stadium staff was incredibly nice. I look forward to returning. |
648 | Date of experience: January 2020 | 14-Feb-20 | ACC | Miami | 5 | Attended Super Bowl 54 | This stadium is user-friendly. Food concessions and toilets are convenient. Food and drink options are better than most "stadium food" options. The employees were very friendly and helpful. |
656 | Date of experience: December 2019 | 22-Jan-20 | ACC | Miami | 3 | Orange Bowl | Loved being able to come to a college football bowl game! It had been on our bucket list. The stadium was very nice but we had a few hiccups. First we bought the unlimited popcorn about half way through the game and when we went to fill...still a lot of time left they told us they were out of popcorn??? how does that happen. Second I ordered a wine and he told me he had no glasses so I said I would drink it out of a glass like my daughter received for her mixed drink but apparently those are only for mixed drinks so I said I will take any glass but he said he had none and handed me my little bottle of wine. Haha Good think I am not a classy gal! |
657 | Date of experience: December 2019 | 22-Jan-20 | ACC | Miami | 4 | Way Cool!! | My son & I made the trip for the Eagles--Dolphins game (Ugh, the Eagles lost.) and we came away thinking that the stadium was WAY Cool!! On first sight, the stadium was bathed in Awesome colors and it was very easy to get around on the concourse. The overhang was a nice plus because You could see it coming into play for certain weather conditions. The stadium was clean, our seats were comfortable, for a stadium, and our sight lines were good. We Ubered there and so we didn't have to pay for parking, a good thing, but getting to a convenient Uber pick-up was a hassle. We would recommend a game visit to the Hard Rock Stadium. |
658 | Date of experience: December 2019 | 7-Jan-20 | ACC | Miami | 3 | Ms | Whoa, parking was $50.00 for the Dolphins game. Other than that, had a great time. Easy to get around the stadium. Clean. |
659 | Date of experience: December 2019 | 2-Jan-20 | ACC | Miami | 4 | Beautiful Stadium | Went there for the Orange Bowl. Loved everything about the stadium except the cost of the concessions and parking for buses. Was a member of a group with multiple buses that required a 20 minute walk to the stadium which was difficult for the elderly and disabled fans in our group. Loved the pregame tailgate party set up for the Teams at the stadium. The bathrooms were clean, sound system/video board was good, and seats were comfortable. |
660 | Date of experience: December 2019 | 2-Jan-20 | ACC | Miami | 5 | Nice Venue | Nice venue. We went to a Bengals - Dolphins game and of course it rained and we stayed dry due to the overhang. |
662 | Date of experience: December 2019 | 3-Dec-19 | ACC | Miami | 5 | Great day out | Visited on day the Eagles were in town. Great atmosphere in the stadium and a fantastic game. The whole place is geared to giving you a fantastic day out and plenty to eat and drink. Had a fantastic day. |
663 | Date of experience: December 2019 | 1-Dec-19 | ACC | Miami | 2 | Dolphins need to control fans | I went to the Miami Dolphins Game vs. Philadelphia Eagles game at the Hard Rock Stadium in Miami. We had 10 seats in section 129. Paid about $200.00 per seat. The family came in from Philadelphia for the game so we decided to get good seats. Fans in front of us standing up and holding signs the entire game. Ended up watching the game on the jumbo screens vs the players on the screen......next time will stay home! |
664 | Date of experience: November 2019 | 27-Nov-19 | ACC | Miami | 4 | Impressive | Having never been to a major football stadium, we wanted to have a look at this one. It was impressive from the outside, but otherwise they don't let you see much. We did find a place we could drive in, but were given strict instructions that we could only go to the team store. It would be nice if they had a place you could see more without having to buy something. |
665 | Date of experience: November 2019 | 25-Nov-19 | ACC | Miami | 4 | Dolphins v Jets football game | Nice stadium. I was carrying a straw purse, not super small but smaller than average. I thought they would just open the bag, rifle through the contents at the entry point, and passe through but they wouldn't allow me to bring the purse into the stadium. They gave me a plastic bag, into which I had to empty the contents of my purse, and the purse was thrown out! The only choice was to walk somewhere in the distance and check it and then retrieve it after the game. This over the top security policy dampened our enjoyment and seemed somewhat unreasonable. So,warning to future attendees, keep your necessary item either in your pockets or in a tiny pouch or else it will be taken from you. |
666 | Date of experience: November 2019 | 23-Nov-19 | ACC | Miami | 3 | The Good and The Bad | The Good:The upper bowl is covered by an overhang which came in handy when it rained during the game. The price for a burger and fries was around 11 dollars, which was a very good price for stadium food.The stadium was very clean and looks like they put some work into making it look nice. The Bad:Parking cost $50 and we werent even parked on pavement. They charged $50 dollars for parking and then parked us near the canal in the dirt. They don't allow drawstring bags in. I have never been to a sporting event that did not allow drawstring bags in. Every other venue would search the bag and you would be good to go. They did not have the prices or menus displayed for the food stands and when I tried to order a po'boy they said they didn't have the ingredients. Overall it was a decent experience but they could make some improvements. |
667 | Date of experience: November 2019 | 21-Nov-19 | ACC | Miami | 5 | Enjoy the game!! | This is the first time we attended a Dolphins game at the Hard Rock stadium. It was easy to find, parking was good, the stadium was clean and the staff helpful. The beer was cold too!Too bad the Dolphins did not win the game. Maybe next time! |
668 | Date of experience: November 2019 | 19-Nov-19 | ACC | Miami | 5 | Great Experience | Want to give a shout out to the Hard Rock and there dedicate staff for a wonderfully first class experience watching Miami Dolphins play the Buffalo Bills.Very easy to negotiate everything from parking to seating and exiting.Very nice staff all around and the fans were alot of fun ,jingeling with each other no matter what team you were rooting for.A delight to see.Love Florida s laid back attitude |
669 | Date of experience: October 2019 | 27-Oct-19 | ACC | Miami | 5 | AWESOME! | We visited Hard Rock Stadium twice. Once for a NFL game and once to watch the Miami Hurricans in the NCAA. Both were great experiences. They differ a bit; the good seats are a lot cheaper for the college games, and also the atmosphere, pregame show and such were better. The level of football was waaay better in the NFL game though. |
672 | Date of experience: October 2019 | 13-Oct-19 | ACC | Miami | 5 | Best stadium in Collegiate and Professional Athletics | Ok, maybe I am a bit biased as I am a die hard Miami Hurricanes and Miami Dolphins fan but this stadium is incredible. From the beauty of it when you first see it appear in the distance to the amenities when you're cheering your team on it's hard to beat. Easily the best food and drink options out of any stadium (though very expensive) and the covered seating is clutch in the brutal South Florida heat. 4 giant big screens around the stadium make missing the action darn near impossible. With new walkways, bridges and tunnels for fans its safer than ever and plenty of merchandise and interactive zones make this the best game day experience. |
673 | Date of experience: October 2019 | 11-Oct-19 | ACC | Miami | 2 | Ride sharing difficulties = many drunk drivers | Although the stadium is quite modern and full of amenities, the management of Hard Rock Stadium did a huge disservice to it??s patrons by making ride-sharing services a pain in the neck (or rather feet) to partake in. To take an Uber or Lyft, one must walk blocks to a local elementary school. In the meantime, the taxis are located at the SE gate and attempt to cheat passengers with ??flat fares??, cash only, and unwillingness to use their meters. Expect to encounter plenty of drunk drivers with the parameters put in place. |
674 | Date of experience: October 2019 | 9-Oct-19 | ACC | Miami | 5 | Great Stadium | Saw the Hurricanes on 10/5/19. Stadium was clean, new, safe, easy to get in and out of and we never stood in line more than 5 min for anything we needed. West side tailgate scene was great. It's just a really nice stadium. Wish the score line was different, but had a great time. |
675 | Date of experience: October 2019 | 9-Oct-19 | ACC | Miami | 5 | Beautiful Stadium | Bring a clear purse to get through security. Section 223 is at the club level, which is really nice but is in the sun for a 3:30 game and gets really hot, so wear your sunscreen! |
676 | Date of experience: September 2019 | 7-Oct-19 | ACC | Miami | 5 | One of best stadiums I've been to | We went to the Dolphins vs Chargers game (Dolphins lost) When we arrived the car park as shown in the picture was full of pickup trucks and people had set up gazebos. It looked like a car boot sale with food and drink. A local fan explained this was the "Tail Gate Party" they arrived at family atmosphere, kids played games and everyone was friendly. The stadium was one of the best I have ever been to. Plenty of toilets no queues. Loads of food outlets, helpful staff. It is not a cheap day, tickets cost $50 dollars in the "Gods" to $500 plus. As the stadium is hosting the SuperBowl next year tickets will be between $5,000 50 over $20,000. Thoroughly enjoyed it. |
677 | Date of experience: September 2019 | 6-Oct-19 | ACC | Miami | 2 | Disorganised | So we arrived and I had to get rid of my bag as it was too big. You can only take in a bag the size of your hand... nowhere to get any shade outside and no stands for people who don't have their own vehicles and tailgate parties. Pretty easy getting through security and beers being sold for 11 dollars each. Expensive! Food also over priced but good portions and quite tasty. Game was good although hard to hear the commentary at times. I've marked this down badly as after the match it was really disorganised. We got told different things by several different people about where to get uber's and taxis from so were walking around for ages. Found a taxi sign and got into the queue but there was no shade and it was 40 degrees. We saw three people keel over. We queued for about half hour then a police woman came and said no taxis would come there so we were fuming. We had to walk for half hour in the baking sun to Walmart where we just happened to stumble across a taxi and jumpped in it but there were loads of other people still waiting so God knows how they got home. It was a real shambles. The need to sort it out, put up proper signage and have a taxi or uber system. |
678 | Date of experience: August 2019 | 29-Sep-19 | ACC | Miami | 1 | Almost a joke | They sell handicap parking on line with numbered spaces, but when you arrive there is no such thing. Really? Security is run by children, what a joke. Really! They are suppose to have gourmet food, its not, its just gourmet prices. Crowd control is stupid, well no its not, there just isn't any. And when you leave........you can be out of the parking lot in less than 2 hours! Never again! |
679 | Date of experience: September 2019 | 29-Sep-19 | ACC | Miami | 5 | Miami Dolphins Game | Such a great experience! Get seats on the home side so you are in the shade. Arrive early so you and the kids get to have fun in the Family Fun Zone before you even head into the stadium! It is truly and experience not just watching a game. Buy your parking in advance to help you take the stress out of arriving. |
681 | Date of experience: September 2019 | 26-Sep-19 | ACC | Miami | 5 | Miami Dolphins | We loved this placein the UK we are rugby league fans but this experience was something else!the pre-match 'tailgate party' was crazy, people pitch up in the car park with gazebos, BBQ s, pop up bars, beer pong, games, musicthere is also entertainment and bars before you enter with your ticketonce inside there are so many bars and places to eat including craft beers/ales etc (didn't have cider though) the only downside was everything closes before the end of the game so you cant really hang around for longthe game was the first in the season v Baltimore Ravens who won by a mileas there is literally NO public transport here we took taxis which worked out at ??45 versus the Uber we used to get there which was half the price |
682 | Date of experience: September 2019 | 22-Sep-19 | ACC | Miami | 4 | Nice Stadium, roomy and lots of food options! | Awesome stadium, great food, parking is a nightmere though only downside... :(....review is only of an NFL game as well... |
683 | Date of experience: September 2019 | 18-Sep-19 | ACC | Miami | 4 | Excellent stadium | We came here for recent Patriots Dolphins game and very impressed, comfortable stadium with decent access (we came in by taxi) and simple security with no real waits. We had seats in club level which was honestly fantastic with nice bathrooms, great food options and more. Shame they were very limited with wine selection but we did get to meet Jonathon Kraft wandering around the lounge :)Temperature inside wasn't too bad even with roof open as sides allow for reasonable breeze.We left a bit early as blowout to get Uber but no signs and conflicting information about where the lot really is, we never found it as hit busy road and were able to get a taxi. |
684 | Date of experience: September 2019 | 16-Sep-19 | ACC | Miami | 5 | Beautiful stadium! | The hubby and I came for the Dolphins vs. Patriots game. The stadium was really nice! Even though it wasn't a complete dome, the temperature wasn't bad at all for a 1:00 pm game. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves! |
685 | Date of experience: September 2019 | 11-Sep-19 | ACC | Miami | 4 | Gameday / Event tips | The recently renovated stadium offers a fantastic experience for all budgets. The typical ??standard type?? of concessions are well prepared and offer a good variety of choice selections. On every level, within short distance you??ll find specialized boutique style food and drink vendors from some quality brands. There??s literally too many to list. Explore and your sure to find something you??ll love. On the NW ??72 club?? 100 level side you??ll find premium eats and a sports bar with lots of screens if you want to take a break from the action at your seats. Depending on the event, keep weather in mind. It gets hot in south Florida. There are several seating selection choices at various price levels that offer air conditioned ??club lounges?? inclusive with the seat, which can be a lifesaver at an afternoon football game, for example. The stadium is pretty clean and the staff is very polite, helpful and ready to answer questions. I gave four stars because leaving the venue can be a hassle, but that??s typical of any event with a large crowd. From what I understand the venue is continually working on parking and egress related issues to find ways to better flow the exiting folks safely. Uber or car service is a good option to get in and out quickly. |
686 | Date of experience: September 2019 | 10-Sep-19 | ACC | Miami | 5 | Game On! | I went at the Hard Rock Stadium to watch a football game, which team I was cheer for lose, but still had a great time. The Stadium provided a lot of security and guest service assistance, which I did not need but all around (Thank You). The pre-game shows and activities before the game was good. The seat location (Lower Level) was a good view for me and staff in the area was helpful, excited and happy. |
689 | Date of experience: August 2019 | 4-Sep-19 | ACC | Miami | 5 | NIce Venue! | Lots of food and drink options! The golf cart rides from the parking areas saved my experience! Great call! |
690 | Date of experience: August 2019 | 3-Sep-19 | ACC | Miami | 4 | Great Venue with Excellent Staff and Support!! | I just had the sublime pleasure of seeing The Rolling Stones at this venue. Entry was easy and things were reasonably well-marked but the excellent event staff made it a breeze to get our wristbands and get to our seats. The sound quality was excellent, likely due to the production staff of The Stones and our excellent seats (section D, floor), but I??ve been to plenty of other shows and had similar seats and the sound quality was crap. I??m giving the venue four stars because 1) I??m still elated from the show and 2) the event staff really was stellar. The one thing that wasn??t: the post-show transportation arrangements. We had to walk nearly five miles, mostly in a circle, for over two hours to get an Uber back to our hotel. It??s not necessarily the venue??s fault for that but the event planners really could have made more robust arrangements to handle the sheer amount of people who needed transportation home. Both my mum and I currently are dealing with mobility issues and absolutely no one from the staff was able to/did offer any assistance. I??ll definitely go to more shows there but now I know to pre-plan all transportation. |
692 | Date of experience: December 2018 | 2-Jul-19 | ACC | Miami | 4 | It's Finally Approaching the Fun of the Old Orange Bowl | When the stadium was first built, those of us who are old time Canes and Fins fans lamented its sterility -- the crowd was too far from the field. But the renovations have changed that, and a few years ago, when the Canes trounced Notre Dame, the venue showed it can be AS electric as the Orange Bowl on a Saturday night. |
694 | Date of experience: December 2018 | 24-Jun-19 | ACC | Miami | 5 | Party Stadium | Beautiful Stadium in an up-and-coming community. Many places to shop and grab a quick bite to eat. Walmart is conveniently across the street too. |
695 | Date of experience: October 2018 | 7-Jun-19 | ACC | Miami | 5 | Great Stadium! | We went to see the Peru-Chile game... and our tickets were upgraded to the suites... the restaurant inside... just great... great game... great location.... |
697 | Date of experience: September 2018 | 30-Apr-19 | ACC | Miami | 5 | The BEST stadium located in my Front Yard | The first time I've ever visited this stadium was in September 2018 when my stepmom and I got invited by a friend of ours who is a professor at the university of Miami to this stadium to see the University of Miami Hurricanes play against FIU Panthers in september 2018, and after the renovations were completed, it is a lot cooler than I thoght. It is so modern on the inside and it has a food court with a huge all-glass window looking outside and offered bottles of water and good food that I didn't eat. The stadium seemed to have 5K TVs which were really cool. The best part is the fact that this is right by my house. I live just 10 minutes from the Hard Rock Stadium It may not be in the best location since it is located in Miami Gardens, but was the best sporting experience I've had since I went with the Miami Lighthouse for the Blind to the Marlin's Park in Little Havana back in 2016 to see the Florida Marlins. |
700 | Date of experience: November 2018 | 13-Apr-19 | ACC | Miami | 5 | Very easy in and out stadium | Still an easy stadiu, to get in and out of and the stadium may be a bit dated but it is fun to see sports the old fashion opened air expereince. |
717 | Date of experience: December 2018 | 19-Mar-19 | ACC | Miami | 3 | Miami vs. Jacksonville | Bought tickets to the Miami vs. Dolphins game for my boyfriend for his birthday. We came in December for Christmas and attended a football game. It was our first NFL live experience. I bought tickets online via ticket master and got the email the day before game day stating everyone in our group had to have e-tickets and to email the tickets to each person in my group. I emailed my boyfriends to him but it did not work correctly and he could not accept it. I could not bring up the bar code for his tickets after emailing it to him. We had a heck of a time trying to get into the game with that issue. Next, I had a small Kate Spade cross body purse big enough for a wallet that was just the size of the paper they go by to judge if you can bring your purse in or not. One employee told me I was not allowed to bring it in. I was not impressed as I had all my ID's and passport in this bag. I was not informed there was a bag check area outside of the field ( I discovered this after the game myself) and almost left to return to our hotel because of all the issues. Thankfully one lady came over and said my purse was fine. It was the most stressful hour trying to work out all the issues but once we got inside we had a great time.They had a lot of merch. to pick from and the staff inside were great. No matter where your seat was I bet the view would be fine. They had people spread out all of the arena aside from the concession stands to get beer quickly. Overall, the experience wasn't bad for our first game. |
722 | Date of experience: November 2018 | 27-Jan-19 | ACC | Miami | 4 | Great stadium | Its a nice stadium that hosts lots of games and events. But its far away from the city. You will need a car or uber but it will be expensive one. Its at around 30 minutes on the highway. |
724 | Date of experience: December 2018 | 16-Jan-19 | ACC | Miami | 5 | Hard Rock | Recent upgrades to the stadium has made it a great venue to watch a game. Always look forward to attending a game there! Great food! Great sight lines. Great video boards. |
