Close enough to the stadium, a short walk. They were extremely kind to us, as soon as we arrived they came out with the list of people they were waiting for. They even helped us park. We felt very safe to leave the car there, totally recommended!!

We parked at Francia's place for the Coldplay concert. Easy to get to and we were greeted when we arrived and shown where to park. The stadium is about a 20-25 minute walk away. The concert finished very late and there was lots of people walking back to parking spots in the neighborhood and it felt very safe. We would recommend for any events at the Hard Rock.

Hard Rock Stadium Parking Guide

Welcome to the ultimate Hard Rock Stadium parking guide! Whether you're planning to catch a Miami Dolphins game, a concert by the fabulous Taylor Swift, or a thrilling performance from the Miami Hurricanes, you’ll want all the deets on parking to ensure a smooth and hassle-free experience. Let's dive into the nitty-gritty of parking at one of the most iconic stadiums in the U.S., which is located at 347 Don Shula Dr, Miami Gardens, FL 33056.

Parking Map & Options

To kick things off, let’s check out the parking map, which is your best guide to navigating the parking lots surrounding the stadium. Here’s a breakdown of the main parking areas:

  • Orange Lots
  • Yellow Lots
  • Gray Lot
  • Lot 20
  • Lot 30-33
  • Lot 40
  • Lot 42
  • Lot 44
  • ADA Accessible Parking

IMPORTANT: Parking lots will close 1.5 hours after the event ends, so plan your exit accordingly. The parking lots for Dolphins games open 4 HOURS prior to kickoff. Pre-paid parking is REQUIRED; fans must purchase a parking pass in advance because day-of parking is not guaranteed.

Event-Specific Parking Passes

For those attending specific events, it’s advised to check the Parking Transportation options. Each event may have different parking arrangements, so it’s crucial to confirm details for your particular visit.

Park & Ride Services

If you're looking to avoid the chaos of parking altogether, consider the Park & Ride option. For just $10 per vehicle, you can park at designated Park & Ride lots and enjoy a complimentary shuttle service that drops you right at the NW gate of Hard Rock Stadium. Shuttles typically begin running 3 HOURS before game time and continue until 90 MINUTES postgame.

Rideshare & Taxis

Planning to use rideshare services like Uber or Lyft? Keep in mind that there will be surge pricing, especially during popular events. Expect higher rates & extended wait times. The designated pickup area for rideshares is near Lot 18 at the pedestrian bridge, so make sure your driver knows where to go.

For traditional taxis, they operate on a first-come, first-served basis on 199th St.. Make sure to confirm fares and any additional fees with your driver.

Brightline Train Service

Coming from afar? No problem! The Brightline train service runs from various locations, including Orlando & Fort Lauderdale, with a complimentary shuttle to the stadium. This is a fantastic option for fans who prefer not to drive.

ADA Accessible Parking

Hard Rock Stadium takes accessibility seriously. ADA parking spots are available, but you’ll need a valid disabled parking placard matching a photo ID to use those spots. For inner lot “ADA RESERVED” parking passes, be sure to pre-purchase. Remember, ADA spots in yellow lots are first-come, first-served.

If you have limited mobility, assistance and wheelchair escorts are available once the gates open. Just ask any staff member for help.

Tailgating Guidelines

Tailgating is an exciting tradition at Hard Rock Stadium games. Here are the guidelines you MUST follow for a fun and safe experience:

  1. ONE parking space per vehicle
  2. Use the designated 8′x10′ space behind your vehicle for your tailgate setup.
  3. No saving or obstructing spaces. Keep pedestrian aisles clear.
  4. NO beer kegs, alcohol funnels, or excessive drinking games. Stay responsible!
  5. Grilling is okay, but remember: only gas or charcoal grills are allowed—NO open flames.
  6. Tents & canopies need to be weighted down properly; stakes can’t be used on asphalt.
  7. Music is welcome, but keep it at a reasonable volume; no explicit lyrics, please.
  8. Lastly, keep your area CLEAN before entering the stadium.

For a visual guide, make sure to check the tailgating guidelines to ensure everything runs smoothly.

  • Game Day Entry: When heading to your game, it’s a good idea to plan your route. The interactive map on the Hard Rock Stadium website is incredibly helpful.
