How can I get there?
Earlier this season, the Dolphins announced a new Park & Ride system to improve fans’ gameday experience. Additional transportation options, per Dolphins corporate communications, are as follows:
▪ “Park & Ride: At $10 per vehicle, fans have the option to park at one of two Park and Ride lots and take a complimentary shuttle directly to and from Hard Rock Stadium. Dedicated express lanes which bypass game day traffic will get fans inside the stadium faster than driving their own vehicle, with a convenient drop-off right at the northwest stadium gate. Park & Ride Lot options include Lot 70 across from the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel and Lot 95 at the Golden Glades Parking Garage. The first 25 guests at each location will receive the GEICO Shuttle Experience, where they will ride a GEICO-branded van for a VIP Luxury shuttle service.

▪ Uber Shuttle: Fans needing ride share service after the game can book an Uber Shuttle using their Uber app. Uber Shuttle facilitates fixed-fare shuttles a short walk from the stadium near the Lot 18 pedestrian bridge and drop off at Bayfront or Brickell in Miami, where guests can either further their Uber journey or walk to their final destination. Courtesy of Jack Daniel’s and their Safe Ride Home initiative, fans will be able to get $5 off when they book Uber Shuttle in the Uber app by using a special code they find on social media.
▪ Brightline: Fans can enjoy round-trip shuttle service directly to Hard Rock Stadium from the Aventura Brightline Station. Shuttles will depart 10 minutes after the arrival of each train. Shuttles from Hard Rock Stadium will depart from the Lot 18 pedestrian bridge one hour before each scheduled End Zone Express train departure. Prepurchase of a Brightline ticket is required to board the shuttles.
▪ Ride Share: The designated ride share drop-off and pick-up area for fans has moved to Lot 30 on NW 37th Avenue. Due to a high volume of guests leaving the stadium, it is advised to anticipate a longer than normal wait time for rideshare postgame.
▪ Taxi: Taxis will drop off at Hard Rock Stadium along NW 199th Street and are available on NW 199th Street postgame and operate on a first-come, first-served basis. Pricing of Taxi services are at the jurisdiction of taxi providers.”

Who isn’t suiting up?
As of Sunday morning, outside linebackers Bradley Chubb (knee) and Cameron Goode (knee) as well as long snapper Blake Ferguson (non-football illness) are ruled out.
Several players — tackle Terron Armstead (knee), corner back Kader Kohou (back), running back Raheem Mostert (hip) and linebacker Anthony Walker Jr. — are questionable.
Mostert, however, won’t play, per Ian Rapoport’s report early Sunday morning.
What’s the significance of Sunday’s game?
Aaron Rodgers and the Jets stand in between the Dolphins and potential postseason glory.
How so?
The Dolphins must beat the future hall of famer not just once but twice before season’s end. Sure, the Jets haven’t looked the best with Rodgers under center. Still, Rodgers remains one of the greatest quarterbacks in NFL history. And with Garrett Wilson and DaVante Adams on the outside, Rodgers has great receivers as well. That’s a dangerous combination to have to stop twice.
Although the Jets have virtually nothing to play for, a chance to spoil the Dolphins’ playoff chances is enough motivation. That’s why the Dolphins need to make quick work of the Jets or else.
