Hard Rock Stadium — Attraction in Miami Gardens

The venue is well maintained, there are a lot of food options and the cost for food and drink will likely be between $20-$40/person. There are 2 levels with varying options. From pizza, tacos, espresso, ice cream, sandwich station ; there are countless options. I did not purchase food/drink so cannot comment further. The sandwiches were around$15, and a single slice of pizza was $10, Tacos (2) was $19-$20. Chips with queso, chips with guacamole 🥑, and chips was salsa —$12.

There are multiple areas for merchandise but this may vary depending on the event, I assume.

Park and ride options was very much appreciated. However, this entire process took 1.5-2 hours including transportation time. The employee made every effort to facilitate this. To help others, as of July-2025, the location for Park and Ride in Hollywood is next to (right) of McDonald’s on SR-7 directly next to this. This is across the street from Seminole Hard Rock. This is specifically for Lot 70; there may be other park & ride locations elsewhere. Not sure if Park and Ride is available for all events at Hard Rock Stadium. There is parking available in this lot for Park& Ride. However, check for current information for future events through the venue.

Post event; There were countless people that had no idea how to exit, where to go, where the parking lots, park and ride pick up areas were. The staff would give the wrong directions, the signage was poor. There were times when one staff member had 3-5 people asking them at once how to find their car/lot area/park and ride pick up Area. The entire facility seemed like a maze. There was a lot of staff present but with the amount of people somehow this still didn’t seem adequate.

It would be accurate to say that there is a chance to miss park and ride shuttle back if people dont leave the venue immediately after the event. I was given wrong information twice and other people were also. Even if you follow the signs, eventually you get to a point where there are no more signs noting the specific area you need to continue going to. Some of the staff were laughing at the entire situation while others really did try to help but were overwhelmed by the number of people needing help exiting.

Also the parking lots for the $50 to park was completely backed up with cars all over and it did not appear that there was anyone facilitating this from what I could see(maybe there was); so leave ample time if you go this route with the $50 self parking.

And $50 seems excessive but this is the closest option to the venue and I do not think that there is city /self pay parking (currently).

Overall this is not a preferred venue; and as a customer it seems that the management is dismissive of any input or feedback. A lot is left up to the paying customers to sort and figure out at this venue post ticket sales. There were staff members at tables throughout the venue and on the whole, it did seem like they truly tried to help Customers; but there were just so many people.

Also, no one answered the phone the day of the event; this is not the day to send calls to a voicemail system.

The stadium seating areas were very well maintained and each level/entrance had an employee helping people locate their seats.

The screens were clear and large; also the seats are covered overhead from rain/sun although at the time of this event; the weather was overcast. So cannot really comment on how the venue is when the temperature is hot.

Leave ample time for everything and it could potentially be a decent experience...

Been here for concerts, Dolphins game and Capital Bowl games. Also got to work here and sit outside during Super Bowl with J.Lo. It was just cool being present during Super Bowl even though we didn’t get to go in. The energy was UNREAL.

Went to The Weeknd concert with my oldest recently. I stand by what I said before about Hard Rock Stadium, it's a really amazing stadium!!! With that said, everything is ridiculously EXPENSIVE!!!

I know you have to expect to pay outrageous money for parking, food and drinks but we paid $60 to park at The Weeknd concert. SIXTY DOLLARS!!! For parking alone. I was so mad about that but honestly at that point, we didn't know where else we could park. It was in the Yellow Lot across from the stadium. After the fact, I almost wish we just took an Uber/Lyft to the concert but I know the traffic for that was crazy also. Sigh.

When we arrived, we checked in on the SE side and they gave us an LED bracelet for the show. We waited in line for merch because my daughter wanted a T-shirt. The line was about 50 people deep on the first floor upon entering. Let me tell you, $55 for a damn T-shirt. Jeeeeeeeezus!!! After waiting for 10 minutes, my daughter's friend who was also at the concert called her to let her know the line for merch on the 2nd floor was non-existent and they were fully stocked. So I stayed in the line we were at and my daughter went to the 2nd floor to check. She called me about 15 min later to let me know she got the shirt. Woot woot. We probably would have been waiting 30-45 min more in that original line. Ugh.

For food, there was a variety of options and we ended up getting chicken tenders for her for $25 with tip!!! I saw Talkin' Tacos and was stoked because I love their food so I ended up getting birria tacos. Another $25 with tip!!! No dipping sauce on the birria, it was just ok and they gave our order to someone else who ordered after us so we waited a bit longer. Funnnnn! Got a High Noon for $15 with tip. We got the aluminum water for $8 with tip? Everything = EXPENSIVE!!!

The Weeknd show in itself was PHENOMENAL!!! The stage production was on point. The concert was better than I anticipated and I knew more songs than I realized. Lol. The performance was done well. The openers for The Weeknd was DJ Mike Dean and Playboi Carti. Don't know either. Lol. He also had a special appearance by Future and everyone lost it. Lol.

I have to say the ladies in red with masks and The Weeknd in his black attire and mask totally gave me Handmaid's Tale vibes!!! I know you see it too. Ha. Great show. We had a fabulous time. Cost us and arm and a leg but at least my daughter was happy!

Getting out was pure chaos and time consuming. So be prepared! Everyone just wants to get home at...

Echoes of Victory at Hard Rock Stadium"**

The sun dipped below the horizon, casting a warm glow over the Hard Rock Stadium in Miami. The air buzzed with anticipation as fans streamed into the colossal arena, their team colors proudly displayed. It was game day—the Miami Dolphins versus their archrivals, the New York Jets.

As I stepped through the gates, the stadium enveloped me. The scent of freshly grilled hot dogs mingled with the tang of salted pretzels. Excitement crackled in the air, and I felt like a tiny atom in a sea of energy.

I found my seat in the lower bowl, surrounded by fellow fans. The 100 Level—the heartbeat of Hard Rock Stadium—was alive. Faces painted, jerseys donned, we were a tribe united by our love for the game. The roar of the crowd echoed through my bones as the players took the field.

The Dolphins surged forward, their quarterback threading passes with precision. Each touchdown ignited a frenzy—a symphony of cheers, high-fives, and fist pumps. The stadium's full liquor bars beckoned from the corners, and craft beer flowed freely. Local brews, like golden sunsets in a glass, fueled our enthusiasm.

During halftime, I wandered the concourse. The flavors of Miami danced on my tongue. Cuban sandwiches from Versailles, mojo-roasted chicken from Pollo Tropical—it was a culinary tour of the city. And as I savored each bite, I realized that this stadium wasn't just about football; it was a melting pot of cultures, a celebration of community.

Back in my seat, the game intensified. The Dolphins fought valiantly, their determination etched on their faces. The Jets countered, their fans equally passionate. The scoreboard flickered like a heartbeat monitor, and I clung to hope.

In the final minutes, the Dolphins drove down the field. The tension was palpable—a collective breath held. And then, a miracle: a touchdown! The stadium erupted. Strangers hugged, tears streaming down their faces. Victory tasted sweeter than any craft beer.

As the sun dipped lower, painting the sky in hues of orange and purple, I realized that this place was more than a stadium. It was a canvas where dreams collided, where memories etched themselves into the concrete. And in that moment, surrounded by thousands, I felt less alone.

So, here's to Hard Rock Stadium—a sanctuary of cheers, a battleground of passion. May its echoes of victory reverberate through time, reminding us that sometimes, in the heart of a game, we find our own victories...
