Stadiums & Arenas: Parking, Seating and Getting In at Major Venues

This section covers the big rooms where South Florida watches its teams: Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens for the Dolphins and Hurricanes football, Kaseya Center on Biscayne Boulevard for the Heat, and loanDepot park in Little Havana for the Marlins. Each guide shows how to get there and where to leave the car, along with which seats are worth the money and what to expect once you reach the gate.

Every guide opens with the short answer, then walks through the steps and what you need, like a mobile ticket on your phone or a bag that fits the venue's policy. Parking rates, bag rules and gate times can change from one event to the next, so we point you to the team or venue's own site to confirm before you head out. We're an independent guide with no ties to any team or venue.

Planning to skip the parking lot entirely? Our getting around guides cover transit and rideshare options, and the South Florida sports hub has more on the teams themselves.
