So I'm going to my first ever Dolphins game in Miami this weekend (as a UK-based fan I've been to all the London games).
Wondering if anyone can help me out with tips for getting to the stadium? I'll have a rental car, but would prefer to avoid driving because beer. What's the public transport situation like?
We'll be staying in the Miami Beach area if that helps at all.
(Sorry for cross-posting this, but the Phins Connection forum seems to be pretty dead)

Congratulations on going to the game! Wish I could help but I’m sure there are shuttles running back and forth along certain routes. I’ve been to the stadium before and I know it’s not something I would want to drive to and from.
I’m sure there’s someone here with local knowledge that will help you outOghma likes this. -

Just know that Miami Beach to Hard Rock is about a 30 min drive. The stadium is quite a bit out west.thetylernator, Oghma, Fin D and 1 other person like this. -

Have fun at the game! I hope it goes better than my own one trip to see the team play at home, when we lost to the Raiders in 2007. My wife and I stayed in Hileaeh (sp?) at a nice hotel, and rented a car for the weekend. Had no issues getting to and from anywhere.

However bad it is down there I can assure you its worse in my area. I'd take the bus if it got me anywhere I need to go at the time I need to be there. Comically it does not. Not even close. Around here its a catch 22 kind of thing, more people would use it if it worked for them and had more buses and routes and they wont add buses and routes til more people use it.

My own experience the last time I was there was horrible. My advice is allow yourself ample time before the game starts to enjoy the experience. Because once the game is over they are booting you out as fast as they can. I paid $1000 for field level tickets and as soon as the last whistle blew security was in my face telling me to get out.
Make sure you don't bring anything with you to the game, stadium security is tight. Know the rules.
Party bus might be a good option, some of them even get there early for tailgating.

I'm over for the Bills and Pats games in December, is the party bus thing something that happens from many areas? We're staying in South Beach. We were going to use Uber as had seen others saying it was the best option, but also that there can be long waits after the games.

I am from Europe and will be in Miami for the Orange Bowl. Since I've never been to Hard Rock Stadium before I was wondering if there's a designated drop-off and pick up area which is also available to private drivers and not just Taxis/Uber/Lyft?
Any help is much appreciated! -
You can drop off at the same location for Rideshares at Norwood Elementary School. You can also try the Super Walmart near the stadium as well.
