HARD ROCK STADIUM, MIAMI GARDENS, FLORIDA
The home of the Miami Dolphins is an open-air stadium with a natural grass playing field, one that opened in 1987 with a revolutionary concept called club seating. A fast-track method of project delivery sped the process from design through construction. The canopy at Hard Rock Stadium provides shade on the home (south) side while sun covers the field and stands on the away (north) side. The 65,000-seat stadium is home to the NFL's Miami Dolphins, offering fans a rain-and-sun shielding roof, unparalleled food and drink offerings and spacious concourses.
All categories are lined up with the above map for your convenience.
Upper Level Corner (Sections 352 - 355, 309 - 312, 324 - 327, 337 - 340)
On the top level of Hard Rock Stadium and in all four corners, these upper level seats are unique as they sit beneath the four newly installed video cards for the 2015 football season.
As such, the sections here are much smaller than any other area on the upper seating tier, with some sections having just 2 rows, while the others have up to 14 rows. Fans here will have an excellent view of the video board in the opposite corner, making them a fun and different option on the upper seating tier.
Upper Level Endzone (Sections 301 - 308, 356 / 328 - 336)
The biggest draw to sitting behind the endzones on the upper seating tier is being able to find the most affordable tickets to a Dolphins or Hurricanes game. The far endzone is difficult to view, but thankfully fans have two videoboards in the opposite corners for viewing replays and highlights.
All seats here are fully covered, however we recommend sticking to Rows 3-10 as these will be closest to the entry tunnels located near the front of the sections (at Row 4). Sections in the upper level endzone have as many as 30 numbered rows of seats, leaving long walks to and from the concourse for those near the very top.
Upper Level Sidelines (Sections 341 - 351, 313 - 323)
The Upper Level Sideline is the place to be if you're looking for an affordable seat with a traditional sideline view. The further distance helps to keep prices in the lower tier, however fans can still find very good views in the sections near the 50 yard line (Sections 317-319 and 345-347).
One benefit to sitting on the Upper tier is that you will be fully covered by the new roof above Hard Rock Stadium. Our favorite seats in the Upper Level Sideline are found in rows 4-6 as these keep you close to the concourse entry tunnel, and provide good clearance above the safety railing at the front of the seating tier. The next distinct row grouping is rows 7-20. With an enormous upper deck comes incredibly long walks up and down the stairs to get to and from your seats. These rows are ideal for fans who have mobility issues, fans who love to chug beer and then race to the bathroom and families who make frequent trips to the concourse. With views that are still quite good, these rows probably provide the best value of any seats in the upper deck.
Level 100/200 Corner (Sections 252 - 254, 209 - 212, 224 - 227, 237 - 240 / 153 - 154, 110 - 111, 125 - 126, 138 - 139)
On the lowest seating tier and in all four corners of the field, sections here are close to the action and will provide a unique perspective from between the sidelines and endzones. Fans will have excellent views of scoring plays at the near endzone, and are also treated to a head on view of the corner videoboards directly across the field.
You can find premium options in the Lower Level Corner as the back portions of Sections 111, 125, 139, and 153 are terrace seating. Each corner terrace is made up of patio style high-top tables with comfortable swivel seating, offering a unique atmosphere during a football game. Each high-top table seats 4 fans, offering fans an alternative to traditional stadium style seating rows.
Level 100/200 Endzone (Sections 201 - 208, 255 / 228 - 236, 101 - 107, 129 - 135)
The only lower level seating area which doesn't contain premium seating, endzone sections are your best bet for finding a more affordable ticket while staying close to the field.
While the far endzone will be more difficult to view, fans will always have straight away sight lines and won't have to turn their heads at all to follow the game. The two corner videoboards at the far end of the field also provide a nice viewing option for following replays and highlights.
Lower Level Endzone sections have up to 32 numbered rows of seating, with entry tunnels located near the top of the section at Row 27. Sitting higher in the sections here is recommended as you will have a better viewing height to the far end of the field, close access to the entry tunnel, and coverage from the new stadium roof.
Level 200/100 Sidelines (Sections 142 - 144, 148 - 150, 114 - 122 / 213 - 223, 242 - 250)
With close proximity to the field and prime location along both sidelines, you will find some of the best and most expensive tickets in all of Hard Rock Stadium here on the lower tier.
Premium club seating occupies the sections nearest to midfield, with Sections 117-119 belonging to the North Sideline Club (also known as the Hyundai Club), and Sections 145-147 being a part of the 72 Club and Golden Cane Club (the seats are referred to as the 72 Club for Dolphins games, but the same seats are known as the Golden Cane Club for Hurricanes games).
The most affordable seats lower sideline seats will be closer to the goal lines where premium amenities are not available. We recommend opting for seats closer to the top of the seating sections where you not only have better elevation to see the field, but will also be closer to the entry tunnel and have better shade and coverage from the roof above.
