Hard Rock Stadium -what a trash experience

[SDS]

Who are these people willingly attend this trash experience every year? That’s probably worst sporting event I’ve ever witnessed and has nothing to do with the Bills playing like ass. 
 

1. While the park-and-ride was nice, when we got to the stadium it was awful. Makeshift scaffolding everywhere. Parking lot right next to the stadium 40% empty. No energy, nothing going on.

 

2. The only televisions in the concourse were little 32 inch screens above the heads of the concession stands. Not on the wall, the were literally just above their heads.

 

3. It is the worst sound system I have ever heard. Any music was atrocious. You couldn’t understand a single word from any referee at any point during the game. Ironically, the national anthem Singer was perfect. Yet every sound that emanated from the speakers after that point sounded like a high-pitched blender.
 

4. this is related to number three, but they played that old song: “we’re the Miami Dolphins, yada yada yada” it sounded like someone put a record on from 1933. It was always cut off in mid sentence and you could barely understand it.

 

5. The replay guy was incompetent. 50% of the time there was no replay. Then there were some of the biggest moments of the game like they stopped to point conversion and instead of replaying a goal line tackle they played phins in the community instead. Holy hell is that incompetent.

 

6. why are there four large screens in the corner that show exactly the same thing? What a complete waste of screen space.

 

7. The field was dark. There is actually so much of coverage of people in the stands that the field is poorly lit. It was even worse for me because I wore my prescription sunglasses and it was dreadful.
 

8. The military propaganda machine was in overdrive.

 

9. God bless America sung at halftime? Who does this?

 

What an awful game day experience. Absolutely dreadful. The NFL should be ashamed. Stands to reason why that team doesn’t have any fans anymore.

So we'll put you down as "can't wait for next year".

But you missed the worst thing about the Hard Rock experience.

It's Veterans appreciation week or month. No.  8 and 9 happen at every college and NFL stadium this weekend.

Atlanta was a garbage experience too

Nice to see that things haven’t changed since it was Dolphins and Sun Life Stadium. 
 

Hard. Rock. Hallelujah!

[Fan boy '92]

Dunno, sorry, you had a bad experience, but I'm there to watch the game. Not watch TV's. The last thing I'm going to complain about

Is God Bless america at halftime, especially when we're honoring veterans. After thinking about it for a few seconds, this is one of the worst list of complaints. I've ever seen about anything.

We played them in their inaugural season at the Mercedes superdome. 
I actually didn’t think it was that bad.

This reminds me of a recent restaurant review I read where the person gave the establishment one star because she saw a couple of cigarette butts in the parking lot.

I hate you had to deal with that Scott.  It reflects exactly what I said in my ownership post,Dolphins ownership and the NFL dont care.  The ownership gets their TV revenue regardless of the fan experience.

Re: no 7.   You're probably not gonna like the new Highmark experience either...

Totally agree. I was at the liberty versus Southern Missouri game this Saturday and they honored a veteran at halftime who was in captivity in Vietnam for five years several purple hearts etc. people were totally locked in you could’ve heard a pin drop. Then the ovation he got was absolutely incredible at the end of the ceremony. Really beautiful stuff

I don’t know what they were honoring, you couldn’t understand a ***** thing in that place.

 

if that was just for this weekend, I withdraw the complaint. I assumed they did it every weekend. It was weird. I don’t remember it being tied into any ceremony.

I’m pretty sure it was just for this weekend and next weekend especially. though the NFL celebrates “Salute to Service” the whole month of November, which I enjoy seeing.

I wonder if your seat location was part of the issue.  I was lower bowl on the visitor 50.  Audio was fine in our seats.  I never had an issue hearing what was said.  
 

We got in and out with parking fairly easily, buying a parking pass in lot 41. 
 

Concourse was average.  I thought it would be wider after a remodel, but it was fine.  The AC was appreciated.  I like all the open lounges with bigger TVs.  
 

What annoyed me was the home side luxury seats.  I talked to a season ticket holder who told me he used to sit on the home side, but was kicked out when they remodeled.  The seats became PSL. When he declined, they game him first dibs for anywhere else.  Basically, just a big money grab that displaced long time fans.  The sections was more 60% empty.  Seemed like a waste of space.  
 

Also, why did they not build the option to fully close the roof.   One fan said people pass out from heat stroke all the time.  I know it’s an advantage to have the opposing teams in the heat, but if it’s affecting the fans like that, it’s terrible.  
 

Even with the clouds covering the sun most of the game, I was drenched in sweat for a November game.  
 

Like the new Bills stadium, and all other NFL stadiums being built, the fans are an afterthought unless you have money

Puerto Rico is looking for a team and it's fairly close it could be a NFL destination . 🤣
