How can I get there?
Prior to the Dolphins’ home opener, the team announced some changes to transportation. Here they are, directly from the team: 1). The Dolphins will run a complimentary shuttle service to and from Hard Rock Stadium before and after games. (The team identifies the shuttle as the Geico HRS Express.) Fans can arrive at Lot 70 (Seminole Hard Rock Hotel) or Lot 95 (Golden Glades Parking Garage) and hop on the shuttle for direct access to and from the stadium. Fans can purchase a $10 parking pass at Lot 70 or Lot 95 and ride the shuttle at no charge to and from the stadium. 2). The Dolphins say they “strongly encourage ride-share users to take the” shuttle. Last season, nearly 10% of fans attending games used the shuttle.
3). The Dolphins have created “the 305 and 954 Social Clubs.” The team says they “provide vibrant and energetic atmospheres for up to 160 fans (21+) to catch the action on the field, while socializing with people of similar ages. Fans will enjoy drink specials in the social, bar-style terrace and atmosphere with both seated and standing room areas.” Tickets for the 305 and 954 Social Clubs start at $95. That cost also includes a post-game shuttle, directly to Las Olas Boulevard in Fort Lauderdale or Brickell Avenue in Miami.
Planning to park at Hard Rock Stadium? Just make sure you prepurchased a parking pass!
Don’t forget to come looking godly as the Dolphins recently announced Sunday will be a whiteout!
Who isn’t suiting up?
As of Friday evening, only star safety Minkah Fitzpatrick (calf) was ruled out.
Linebacker Jordyn Brooks (foot/ knee), defensive back Elijah Campbell (ankle/ knee), cornerback Isaiah Johnson (knee), offensive lineman Andrew Meyer (tricep) and kicker Jason Sanders (right hip) are questionable.
What’s the significance of Sunday’s game?
Both teams don’t have a shot at the postseason.
It’s sad, as neither squad thought that they’d be in this position. That said, the offense now belongs to Quinn Ewers.
No story line rivals that of Ewers, a 2025 seventh-round pick who will start in favor of the benched Tua Tagovailoa. How will he look? Is he the guy? Can he lead them to victory?
All this and more will be answered by 4 p.m. Sunday.
