Amazing experience

First of all the atmosphere was super! Great people, good beer, friendliness all the way through. There was not a boring minute of the NFL game. I should also mention that the parking (although rather expensive) was super with very easy exit in and out.

Very cool venue, poor event execution

I went to Hard Rock Stadium for the Orange Bowl. The stadium itself is awesome. Its big and clean and well branded. We were in the upper deck and still had an awesome view of the field so i think its safe to say there isnt a bad seat in that place. The 'party decks' are tickets that are supposed to come with all inclusive beverages. We bought our tickets directly from the Orange Bowl committee, who confirmed this feature, yet when we got there the attendants at the party deck said they weren't honoring the all inclusive packages. That was half the reason we bought those specific tickets! The other reason I took away a point from the 5 star review was the total lack of visual directions posted when leaving the game. We had to rely on ushers the whole way around the stadium asking where we could get an uber. they directed us to a specific parking lot, when we got there the attendants in the lot directed us to an elementary school nearby, when we got there they directed us back to the lot. We walked for almost 40 minutes until we connected with an uber driver that was willing to wait for us to walk and called us to give step by step directions of where we could be picked up. Thank god for him!!

Nice & Relaxing!

Easy access in and out of the Orange Bowl. Vendors and restrooms well located, great parking and plenty of folks available to help. The only ding was having to go pick up the parking pass at an out of the way location and it did not make it clear when ordering, had to call to find out. Otherwise, great experience!

Orange Bowl Catstrophe

Before I get to the bad stuff, I want to point out the positive.The pregame and game experience was excellent. All stadium employees we encountered during those period were some of the. most helpful and friendly people we have found at a football game.Food and drink selections were also great and diverse. Although whoever there were a few mistakes on the digital boards, for the most part the game experience was solid.However, the postgame experience was unbelievable in a ridiculously bad way.We asked the staff for the best method of transportation back to our hotel. We were told taxi was the best option followed by Uber or Lyft. We chose the taxi line, where we stood for two hours. When we finally got to the front of the line we were told no more taxi were coming. Even worse, we found out most of the people on front of us walked away because they void not get taxis either. So we stood in line for two hours for nothing.Then we walked to a retail center about half a mile away to find hundreds (maybe more) for an opportunity to get an Uber. However, the police had all points of entry into the stadium and surrounding area blocked off. They offered no help for people wandering the area looking for a way home. We encountered screaming, fights, watched drivers threaten each other and more. Eventually we were able to find an Uber driver...four hours after the game ended. Terrible, horrible planning and execution on behalf of be stadium and the city. Of course,If you read other reviews you will find the same. But there is no way to describe the level of disorganization and under disrespect for those who attends the event by whoever is in charge.

Totally Unprepared for Orange Bowl

The stadium has the potential to be one of the best, but they were totally unprepared for the Orange Bowl. Parking - I highly recommend paying the extra to park in the black lot. It??s easy in and easy out. We stayed til the end of the game and we??re out of the lot in less than 10 mins. Food - it was absolutely terrible. We went to a private event catered by the stadium and the food wasn??t edible. I didn??t know you could ruin a hot dog but they perfected that. We tried other items in the game and it was equally awful. Avoid the Buffalo Chicken Sandwich at all costs. Drinks - how the heck can the majority of the drink machines be out of soda in the first quarter. Don??t bother buying the refillable drink since they didn??t have soda available for a refill. The mixed drinks were the highest I??ve even seen. $20 for a double of basic alcohol!Security - totally unprepared and beyond confused. Gates opened at 6 and they didn??t even have the metal detectors in place. One metal detector at the club level entrance. Took more than half an out and they were processing about one person per minute. Bathroom - be ready to wait. Not enough restrooms. Stadium video and replay - screens were great but the in game experience was awful. They rarely showed replays and didn??t even have the game playing on the sound system in the common areas, restrooms, etc.

Awesome Fan Experience!

Nice stadium, lots of tailgating. Employees are very friendly and helpful. Security lines moved quickly. Be sure to read stadium rules (which are NFL-wide) of what is and isn't allowed in, such as regulation-size clear bags, etc. Visit Guest Services Headquarters on your level to get a "First Game" certificate, and also sign up as a designated driver if you're not planning to drink alcohol, to get a token for a free soda or water. Our seats were very high up, but still had a great view, but quite windy (glad I had a scarf for my neck). There is a partial roof with a big hole in the middle and open sides. So depending on where your seats are, you could still get soaked if it rains, so bring ponchos. If you don't want to bake in the hot Florida sun, be sure to get tickets on the home side, as visitor side is in full sun for afternoon games.

Impressive!

My husband and I were in Miami for the Dolphins vs. Bills game. We have never been to a Dolphins game in Miami. We were so impressed with the stadium. It is a beautiful stadium. Statues of the greats around the outside of the stadium. A beautiful garden in front of the stadium. Murals on the walls inside the stadium. So much fun to be had at the stadium before and after the game. We will definitely be going back for more games.

Great Stadium, but hard to get out

I surprised my wife for our anniversary, after our cruise, with tickets to watch her favorite football team, the Patriots vs the Dolphins. The game was played at the Hard Rock Stadium. It is a great venue, but the employees there need more training in location of there amenities. We were looking for the "main" Dolphins store to purchase souvenirs. The problem with that is we asked several employees how to get to it and were given the wrong location several times and a couple of employees did not know where it was located. After doing a lap around the stadium and checking some of the smaller team shops, finally we found a younger Male employee who knew how to get to the main store. After purchasing our souvenirs we proceeded to "TRY" and leave the stadium and make our way back to our hotel. Again we asked employees where to go to catch a ride. We were informed it is a 20mins walk to the end of the stadium in the "ride share" area. We walked to this area then after talking to other spectators and finally being informed by an employee that we had to walk down the street and make a left turn as only taxis were allowed access to this location. We started walking with other spectators to this location. After getting to this location and seeing that it was also blocked off by police/security. Security officer told us we needed to walk farther just past an underpass then cross the street and wait by a school. So now 1 hour after leaving the stadium and waiting and walking, we arrived at the school and saw at least 50 other people waiting for rides Lyft or Uber. Both companies increased their rates by up to 150%, very nice of them!!! The first driver we called did not speak English very well, so after calling him several times and not being able to communicate with him, he decided not to show up because he could not find the pick up point. This happened to several other people. We had to call for another driver. It is now dark out and this is not the best/safest area to be waiting. A couple of guys came up to us and offered to drive us back to our hotel, we politely declined as they were not in a vehicle at the time. A taxi driver offered to drive us for $100, over 3x times the cost of a Lyft or Uber. Our driver finally showed up and we made it back to our hotel over 3 hours after the game had ended. What should have been a fun experience was ruined by employees who need more training, the need for a "marked" and "designated" area for Lyft/Uber rides and ride share companies not raising prices by 150%. Will not being going back to this stadium any time soon. In hindsight, it might have been a better idea to drive to the game and pay the $33 parking fee, at least we would be in a vehicle and not waiting in a seedy neighborhood that is not well lite and hard to find for ride share drivers. Would have taken pictures to submit, but I was on my phone...

Bills at Dolphins game

We had a great time today even though sadly our Bills didn??t get the W, I want to share that the parking was easy, tailgating was fun and the fans all were nice regardless of which team. The stadium staff was friendly and helpful. As Bills fans we will definitely be going again next year! If you are sensitive to heat be aware that the sun blazes on the visitors side- the stadium provides lightweight sun shields which are definitely helpful. One of my friends on the other side snuck a pic of me melting and using it to cover my head (not its intended use ??). ??

Stadium is very nice and easy to get around in.

If you are going get a parking pass ahead of time and it is simple once you are in to find a spot. The stadium is very nice with plenty of bathrooms and food places. It's not cheap but it's comparable to other stadiums as well. The seats are all good just be ready for the sun! The club level is good and you can usually find someone willing to part with their upgraded tickets to allow you to get up there.

Dolphins Game

Can't fault the stadium!! Parking was really easy, we were worried because hadn't booked but police directed us politely to cash parking and was easy to find. Loads of tailgating which is cool. Loads of food and drink options inside the stadium but service is really slow at half time. We missed a touchdown whilst waiting for drinks in the 3rd Q. Great family atmosphere with loads of entertainment throughout the game. Only complaint is traffic leaving the stadium. Took about 45 minutes to leave and they'd shut the main route out to the highway so we ended up crawling through back streets. Would go again for sure.

Stadium was great. Too a lift in and had to make a short walk. Problem and I do mean BS the directions to ride share are confusing and not correct. Police stop Uber and lift drivers for the benefit of cabs. Who takes a cab anymore really. Had to walk at least a mile to get access to a lift. What a away to wreck a good day we had at the game.

Pre-buy parking

The staff at Hard Rock Stadium is very very friendly and helpful. Even if there is no game, the Shop is open. If attending a Dolphins game, you should drive to the stadium a day before to buy a parking ticket, cause it's about half the price (25 $) than on gameday (40 $).

Pretty Good Stadium For Its Age.

Arrived at the G cash parking lot at about $10:30 by taking the Turnpike down from Lauderdale. Parking is $40. but if you have a Sunpass the fee is only $25 charged to the Sunpass. Very easy getting in and tail gating was going strong in the very hot parking lot. Decided to head in 11:30 ish. There are 2 roads in between the parking lot and the stadium which caused minor delays getting to the other side of the road. Why there aren't pedestrian bridges are tunnels to ease the vehicle and people traffic is kinda stupid. Once at the NorthEast Gate things went smooth. The bag checks were smooth and fast. The actual ticket takers are turnstile machines with code readers. All the levels have escalators to make the trip up easy. Once up on the 300 Level there was a spacious breezy deck due to the recent rehab job. Sitting in Section 218 was great and the whole stadium appeared to have great sight lines. Overall I thought the place was great. Now the minuses. There are not nearly enough monitors in the areas under the stands. The lines at the concessions and restrooms were pretty long. It also seems that a lot of the locals buy the cheapest tickets they can and then sit in better seats until the valid ticket holder show ups. This is very annoying and reminds me of a game of musical chairs. Finally, I'll mention that they sell the souvenir cup for soda with unlimited refills, just like Tampa.

Fantastic venue for home or away fans

The Dolphins Hard Rock Stadium has a great atmosphere for any NFL fan. All the staff go out of their way to ensure all fans feel that they are special customers. We bought seats from Ticket Master.Com. midway along close to the halfway line but up near the top of the stand. We were surprised how good the view we had. Both sets of fans intermingled right around the stadium, without any issues and with great fan banter between them, even in the closely fought game. Sadly the Bears lost in overtime with 3 seconds to go. I??d recommend a trip to any NFL game at this amazing stadium.

Dolphin pre season game

I have visited all of the professional stadiums in Florida and this was the best. Parking was $25 with a sun pass and right across the street. Food was normal stadium prices, refillable cup was slightly smaller then Bucs or Jags. Jacksonville has the best food. The addition of the roof is fantastic, night game in summer so was warm but not unbearable. Rained before the game but didn??t get wet because of the roof. Navigating around the stadium was a breeze.

Organising a piss up in a brewery!

We went to the stadium for the Manchester Utd V Real Madrid soccer match.Accessing the stadium was straightforward enough and let me say the stadium is pretty impressive and our seats had excellent views.We arrived 45 minutes beforehand so that we could get some food to eat. Having joined the queue with 5 people in front of us we left 40 minutes later not having been served as we didn??t want to miss the match starting. Shortly before half time I left my seat to try and food for the boys. Surprisingly extra concessions had opened up and only2 people in front of me. So tried for hot dogs, none available, cheeseburger delayed so ordered chicken tenders, only took 10 minutes!! Surely to goodness management can do a better job of organising food operations? The negativity being expressed by other attendees was clear for all to hear.When the match was over we then had the nightmare of trying to leave the car park. Absolutely minimal organisation and it took us over 90 minutes to exit the ground.Overall experience was so negative because of these factors that it ruined an otherwise exciting evening. I definitely won??t be back and management have a lot of questions to answer.

Awesome experience!

My husband and I had 3rd row seats in the visitors section for the Miami-Bills game on New Year's eve. We arrived very early without any parking pass, and were able to park in the yellow section for $40 using a credit card. There are plenty of police and attendants all around the stadium, even off the highway exit ramp, ready to assist and very friendly. You cannot carry anything larger than a clutch wallet into the venue; so if you have more, put it in a ziplock bag or purchase a see-through tote outside the venue.There is plenty to do besides tailgate outside the stadium - games, drinks, and music, plus plenty of picture taking opportunities. The stadium itself has many food options and places to sit on every level. We enjoyed Shula burgers and Haute Dogs. The restrooms are spotless and huge.As Bills fans, the game was awesome!

We parked in the yellow parking lot and were on the freeway a few minutes after the game ended. Lots of room for tailgaters. Parking was $40. Can only carry in very small purse.

Wonderful Orange Bowl experience

We were pleasantly surprised to find out that our tickets to the Orange Bowl were located in a section that gave us access to the Hyundai Club. It was nice to have a place to go where you knew lines would be short and the bathrooms would be clean. We took advantage of this before the game and at halftime. All the employees we encountered were wonderful and very kind. We very much enjoyed the game and the stadium.

Orange Bowl Game

What a poor excuse for a stadium as a season ticket holder at Lambeau Field, we are very spoiled. It was amazing how far the fans are from the field even with tickets in the 15th row at the 45 yard line. The local police are absolutely clueless in getting traffic moving after the game and we saw several lines not even move one hour after the game. Actually, we feel sorry for Dolphins and Hurricanes fans as they have no idea how poor this stadium compares to other venues.

Football, food and fun

I was given a free ticket to the Miami Dolphins and Buffalo game. Whoa, really awesome! I did a little homework and the newly named Hard Rock stadium has done some upgrades the last few years. First, parking. You need a parking pass or cash. Unless you have a Florida Sun pass. You can use your sun pass at the Yellow gate to park for only $25. Parking is 45 cash only. If you are going to Uber in then there is a special spot for pick up and drop off. Everything is clearly marked and people are happy to answer questions. I suggest getting there a couple of hours pregame to wander around the tailgaters and all the fun outside the stadium. Per NFL guidelines you can only carry in clear plastic bags. Women can carry a small wallet/wristlet. Luckily you can purchase such a bag outside the stadium. Once inside you walk up/ride the escalator to your level. You can find menus posted to columns. There are several places to get local food and craft beers. Make sure you try the local food. Of course, it's pricey as expected. Bathrooms are frequent on each level and clean. There are a lot of employees & security wandering around. I found the seats in the stadium kinda small and tight in the rows. It's rather uncomfortable. Depending on where you are, you could be in the sun with a horrible glare. There are several large monitors for you to watch. If you get a chance to go see a game,I would!

Wonderful Orange Bowl experience

The Orange Bowl has just been recently renovated and is beautiful. Many food and drink choices.they have 4 video screens hat make watching replays and other events during the game clear. The sound is amazing, not with an echo. The only negative was after the game trying to get an UBER. We waited 1 1/2 hours to get a car. Many Iver cars were there but you had to confirm with your driver have them find a spot with a number then let you know where that is. Such a mess. They need to improve this greatly. I would never take an UBER home from any event at the Orange Bowl. Other than that a fun experience.

Remodeled stadium

I was at Hard Rock Stadium years ago and it doesn't even look like the same place. We splurged on Club seats and it was a great experience - live music, comfortable seats, fancy bathrooms, decent food and craft beer. Compared to Boston, the prices seemed reasonable to me. I had to mark down one star though for that obnoxious "First Down" cheer that I heard way too often.

Loudest stadium I have ever been in!

We were at the Notre Dame vs Miami hurricanes game. The game was amazing for the hurricanes and not so great for the Irish. But that wasn??t the biggest problem at the stadium. The fans were very abusive and very threatening. Dozen of ND fans left the stands in our area do to verbal abuse and actual physical abuse by the hands of the hurricane fans. I can tell you that the police are very quick to stop the problem. Fans we saw 3 fans arrested from our section alone. Hindsight we should have taken note of the warning signs posted on every light post outside tailgating. Report any bad behavior and it gives you a number to text.

Bad policy prime for Abuse

On Saturday, November 11, 2017, along with several colleagues I attended the University of Miami Hurricanes homecoming football game against Notre Dame at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens, Fl. We purchased four great seats from StubHub ?? section 126; row 2 ?? they were about $450 for each ticket. We were mostly surrounded by UM fans except for four Notre Dame fans in the row behind us and a father and son sitting to my left. As I have done for as long as I can remember, we cheered along with my colleagues with fervor and excitement as the Hurricanes pulled ahead in the 4th quarter by several touchdowns to a commanding lead and the game seemed all but won. Seemingly, out of nowhere, I and one of my colleagues ?? the only 2 black men in the entire section ?? were approached by a contingent of 10-12 police officers and embarrassingly and forcefully escorted from the game and out of the stadium. Of course, both my colleague and I were completely shocked that the police officers were coming to remove us from the game since we had done nothing wrong. Apparently, the Notre Dame fans sitting behind us falsely reported that I and my other black colleague were spitting at them, throwing things, and being otherwise disruptive. Suffice it to say that nothing could be further from the truth. In fact, other than the color of our skin we were completely indistinguishable from every other UM fan in the section. Clearly, these particular Notre Dame fans?? frustration with the game bled over into some brooding, underlying bigotry and they decided to take that frustration out on the only 2 people of color around. What is far worse is the police officers?? apparent presumption of guilt over innocence applied to my colleague and me due to our race. While trying to explain to the officers that we had done nothing wrong, and even though multiple independent bystanders came to our defense and corroborated our innocence when the police approached, telling them unequivocally that we had done nothing wrong and were merely cheering like everyone else, we were nonetheless forcibly removed from the stadium in front of our friends and were indeed told that we were lucky that we were not being handcuffed or arrested. This kind of police abuse and racial bias is in stark violation of this country??s fundamental precept that ??all men are created equal.?? My colleague and I suffered an injustice that nobody else, our white colleagues included, were forced to endure. Whether it was the particular police officers?? inherent prejudice that catalyzed our forceful removal or some blanket corporate policy at Hard Rock stadium, the injustice is unacceptable all the same.Not only was this incident embarrassing in and of itself, but my colleague and I were walked out of the game by 10-12 uniformed police officers in front of tens of thousands of other fans. What??s more, this happened in front of my work colleagues and could have a negative effect on my career.I am neither a thug nor a criminal, neither a convict nor a gangster. I am a Fortune 1,000 executive and I am a black man; and this past Saturday while attending a college football game, I was the victim of racial intolerance and hate perpetrated by the very people tasked with preventing it. The notion that the color of our skin subjected my colleague and me to embarrassment and possible arrest because of another team??s fans?? intolerance and profiling is indefensible. That Hard Rock Stadium allowed it to happen is appalling, and the Miami-Dade Police Department??s handling of the situation is nauseating.This was, hands down and without equivocation, one of the worst experiences of my life. It is made worse because it was the result of a completely falsified report that was unambiguously racially charged. We were never really given the opportunity to share our side nor were the police willing to hear the other fans in the section.Thankfully, we left the stadium without further incident but the events of this past Saturday will live in my mind forever. In hindsight I suppose I am lucky that I didn??t suffer any broken bones or other lasting physical reminders of the day but we need to do something to work towards a day when a man truly is judged not by the color of his skin but by the content of his character.

Extremely loud

I have attended many college and pro football games, but this stadium ranks among the loudest. The music was extremely loud leading up to the snap for the opposing team??s offensive play yet was quiet during the home team??s offensive series. I was impressed with ingress and egress that was quite simple and fast. Having escalators that go directly to each level is very efficient in getting to and from your seats. This reminded me of the old Giants stadium.We sat in the club level which had its own private bar and assigned covered outdoor seating and random indoor seating.Overall I was very impressed with this stadium with the exception of the extremely loud music. In my opinion it was just too loud to the point it was hard to hold a conversation with the person sitting next to you.

We had seats at 116, paid $1500 for 4 tix- we would've expected there to be a tiny bit more room , but were all but in each others laps 2.

Great facilities, comfortable seating

Went to see a Dolphins game and was not disappointed with the facilities. Well organised parking lots and entry gates with plenty of attendants on hand if you needed extra guidance. Entertainment outside of the stadium in the run up to the game was available along with food and drink stations. Tailgate parties were in abundance and I have to say most folks did a great job of clearing up after as trash was at a minimum after the game. Plenty of security and police around helped to reassure the slight anxiety I have with large events like this. Inside the stadium everywhere was really clean, again plenty of attendants/security. Great selection of food and drink available, priced higher than usual as you would expect. Seating was comfortable and good view from section 353. Would recommend arriving early to allow for traffic and make sure if you need to take a purse it??s really small as there are security restrictions in place. Great experience at a well organised stadium with staff that really care.

Make sure you read restrictions on what's allowed into stadium. My wife had what I call a small purse. IT was NOT allowed into stadium. We had to place the contents into a plastic bag then check her purse into a guest services station before going to game. We retrieved it afterwards and all was good. We both appreciate the security measures in this day and time but make sure you know the rules when you attend an event.

Miami Hurricanes Game, Awesome Experience!

I recently went to my first Miami Hurricanes football game two weeks ago when we played Georgia Tech. Parking was fairly quick getting into the game and only cost 20 dollars which wasn't to bad. Getting into the stadium was smooth and quick. We sat on the Northeast side of the end zone and it was a 3;30 game so we got a fairly decent amount of sun. At halftime the sun went below the stadium and we started to experience rain. Where we sat, we were under a canopy and did not get wet at all. The crowd was awesome as the game was close. I had a blast! Tickets were fairly cheap to sit low, I advice going and checking out a game at this venue.

Don't let the "roof" fool you

The new additions and cool design are a big improvement over the older stadium. However the partial roof does hold back the heat or sun. Sun comes from an angle so it's on the one side most of a game. If it rains, and when doesn't it, you will get wet. The wind blows the rain to most seats and the more expensive seats close to the field aren't covered by any roof. The scoreboards for football just plane s___! They flash everything on the scoreboard and you can't keep track of down and distance and time left because they are busy flashing player stats all game. Very frustrating gotta fix that! Staff is really nice, a big plus.

Not quite the Orange Bowl but close enough. After all the renovations this stadium went from lifeless to one of the best in the nation. There are plenty of delivious food options and various bars that serve specialty beers. The jumbotrons on each corner ensure you wont miss a beat. You will have a great view from any seat and the roof covers majority off the seats from the rain. During daytime games avoid the away side as the sun is unblocked on that side of the stadium.

Make sure your shuttle driver drops you off near your seating area. We were dropped off at the NW gate and our entrance was on the South side (home side for the Hurricanes). its a hefty walk when you are trying to see the Canes Walk which is at the SW Gate. Stadium personnel on the outside are inept with directions. You have to do your homework. The Club level tickets are pricey but worth it. Cushioned seats, shade, AC lounge with great drinks and food. Really nice. Although it poured during a 4th quarter thunderstorm we didn't get wet. Great game. Go Canes!

Worst live football experience in 60 years!

Went to Dolphins game for the first time with friends. While the company was good, the stadium experience is a mess. The traffic is so fouled up going into the stadium by Police who stand around and block lanes, that we didn't get to our seats until the end of the first quarter. Thousands of others came streaming in afterwards, because they were also delayed. The new scoreboards have much smaller print, and are very hard to read. The public address system was completely unintelligible, keeping us in the dark about what was happening. The jumbo-trons spent 90% of their time oogling the cheerleaders and fans acting stupid, rather than focusing on the field action. The legroom in the seating rows are much tighter than Marlins Park - uncomfortable. Signage is sparse and hard to find parking entrances and gates once inside the stadium. $50 million of renovation wasted for a bad experience. Suggest traffic control go to Indiana and see how traffic is moved to and from Notre Dame games and Indy 500. We will not return -- ever!

ACC needs better tailgating

I'm a big football fan and living in South Carolina there's lots of that. Duke, NC State, North Carolina, South Carolina, Wake Forest, Coastal Carolina, Clemson and more. I enjoy going to different stadiums to experience college football from different views. Chapel Hill was a great Experience. Wasn't a lot of areas for tailgating but they did have lots of areas for tent parties. Parking was a few blocks away in one of several parking garages and wasn't expensive. Inside the stadium was about the same. Concessions and snacks all around. The fans were loud and the game was awesome. I'm use to South Carolina and William Brice Stadium where we have lots of tailgating before, During and After the game. This Stadium was smaller and had little reserved tailgating.
