sun life stadium

The stadium is in a very bad part of town. The best way to get to the stadium to avoid horrible traffic and to avoid crossing this very bad section of town is to take the turnpike.Once you get there, parking is a madhouse and so are the fees involved that they charge.There are really no great seats. Everywhere you sit is pretty far from whatever main action is going on, whether it is a sporting event or a concert.Obviously if you were coming here you probably do not have a choice because whatever you are watching has chosen for you.Just be patient and take the turnpike. If you can and you do not want to pay for parking, you could park about a mile away in the residential area (on 199th Street) and take an Uber, which will also believe the madness of parking and getting out of there.

For me it´s a great experience. As a foreign, the event was very organized, but we didn´t know that we could not enter with backpack and with photo machines. This could be clear in the ticket. We didn´t find a big store in the stadium, only one small kiosk to sell little things, but there was not a t-shirt from Miami Dolphins for exemple. In the time between the second and third quarter, we went get something to eat, but there so many lines and we loose almost the third quarter.In the end, we took so many time to live the parking. We don´t know how they organize the exit, but we took more than one hour to living the stadium.

We recently went to Sun Life Stadium to see the Cirque du Soleil. The show was beyond magnificent. It was truly gorgeous and worth every penny it cost. However, the rate to park the car is ridiculously expensive. They charge $25 to park the car. My husband is disabled and we needed to take him in a wheelchair from the parking lot to our seats. I have never EVER paid (even in New York City) $25 to park a car. Oh, and that's without valet parking -- it's just to park the car and then walk with the wheelchair from the "disabled" parking which is quite a distance from the entrance to the entrance.

We took kids and grand parents to an NFL Game at this stadium and we were so impressed with this facility. Traffic was crazy as expected, but we parked with the disabled parking due to grand parents disabilities parking pass ($25 charge for parking) due to their limited mobility issues. Parking so close to the stadium was great for the grand parents. We were worried about how much walking they would have to do, but the stadium really looked after the older crowd. Also great escalators to our seats in the upper bowl. Very limited walking or stairs required as our seats were near an entrance. Seats were more comfortable than I had expected, but were not really spacious. Bathrooms (and the whole stadium for that matter) were clean. Stadium security did an excellent job when fins fans got loud and rude when fins were losing to the jets. With kids in tow that's the kind of immediate response I like to see to that sort of behaviour..those people were gone and didn't come back. Food was pricy but expected and less so than other live sporting events we've been to. Overall this was a great day for all generations and we would go with all of them again!

As far as the venue is concerned it is very nice. The employees are super nice and helpful. The seating in the upper deck was good (section 413 row 5) and we really enjoyed watching the game from there. Parking and traffic was managed very well.

We took in the last game of the regular season and even though the Fins suffered a loss we enjoyed a great game! Section 113, row 1; excellent seats on the visitor side.

My wife and I went to the Orange Bowl on New Years Eve. Go Jackets! The worst aspect of the stadium was the sound system. Other than when the ball was in play there was not a five second period the whole game where music was not blaring at a very high level. Some people might enjoy this but we wanted to see a football game and not attend a rock concert. The music made it hard to hear the bands and basically took away from the game experience. The parking was also on the expensive side. It cost $30 to park across the street from the stadium. On the plus side the field appeared in good condition. Also, all the ushers and other employees were helpful and friendly. We could see the field clearly but the seats were a little far away from the field. The stadium was ok but not suited for a college game. It would be much better to save your money and attend a game on campus.

My first ever NFL game was Dolphins v Jets at the stadium in December '14. We arrived early and wandered around the huge tailgate party area full of fans having a great time. The fanzone provided entertainment and the into the stadium and we were right at the back but still had a fantastic view. The sun was hot even in December and I suppose may get too hot earlier in the year as the stands are uncovered. Dolphins lost but the event, spectacle and experience was fantastic for someone from the UK.

I am a Ga. Tech fan and this was my 1st trip to the Orange Bowl. The outcome of the game was Great. The stadium itself was ok. The half time show was fair at best. The sound system was terrible. The worst feature of the stadium was the lack of scoreboards. It's the first stadium I've ever been in without a major scoreboard. The huge screens at each end of the stadium should also be scoreboards. The seating was fine and parking was good. Everything considered, it was a good experience.

Of course I'm a fan of the stadium since it is the home of my team, the Miami Dolphins. The stadium is old, built in the 60s but still nice. Of course the food and drink are over priced so either tailgate and/or bring your own drinks. I was told that in January the stadium will be renovated; some of it torn down and re-built. Glad I was able to see it before this happened.

Flew down to go to the Dolphins and Bills game this past November and from an outsider I wasnt blow away. First off parking was a joke! We got their late and parked infront of other cars as directed by the staff they said this is "normal". I noticed that I was in the Orange lot.... that was just great because after by 5th $12 24oz beer I realized that there is an Orange lot on EVERY side of the stadium. So as you could imagine that worked out great for me. The stadium itself was nice and they had lots off good food and beer options. I though food prices on some items were cheaper than other stadiums. Other than the neighborhood being sketchy and parking I had a good time at the stadium.

I won a sweepstakes via Georgia Tech to attend the Orange Bowl game. I'd never attended an event at Sun Life Stadium before.It wasn't hard to navigate to from the Fort Lauderdale area and although I thought parking ($30) was going to take a while, it wasn't long before we were before the stadium gates, looking at the concessions for sale and having a beer at the bar outside. Inside, the lower-level seats were great and the action also was easy to see with the large screen at the other end of the stadium. The food was decent -- I had a grilled chicken sandwich with fries. The restrooms were clean and easy to get to.After the game it wasn't difficult to navigate out of the area back to where we were staying.

Went with my brother in law to experience the Orange Bowl where Georgia Tech kicked Mississippi's butt.Am 6 foot 5 inches and 270 pounds. My brother in law, 6 foot 4 inches and a leaner 10 pounds.We did not fit in the seats, width wise and knee wise.I had bruises on hips and shins because of the small seats. Terrible.

My first trip to Sun Life - for the Orange Bowl. Great stadium...easy to navigate around in and a great place to watch a college football game. Nice experience.

We were warned by our cab driver to the stadium that cabs would be hard to get after the game since it was New Year's Eve but we took our chances since we really had no other options. It was a total mess. No organized taxi line, just people pushing and try ing to grab cabs as they arrived. Then the cab drivers were picking the more desirable fares and refusing to take fares to less desirable locations. We were afraid we would have to walk or spend all night there! We finally found a shuttle driver who agreed to take several of us to different hotels in the same general area.
