Fans Give Renovated Sun Life Stadium Mostly Favorable Reviews

Some 60,000 people "packed renovated Sun Life Stadium for the first time" last night for Falcons-Dolphins, "and a few expected hiccups aside, it was a relatively smooth launch." Dolphins President & CEO Tom Garfinkel said that feedback "was positive," and added that long lines "were not an issue." Team Owner Stephen Ross "was on-hand to see what his money bought him." Garfinkel said of Ross, "He pointed out some things that we can do better. But he was thrilled with the result" (MIAMI HERALD, 8/30).

After the renovation, the facility "suddenly doesn’t seem like an aging, out-dated home field." Still, fans on Twitter "liked the look of the stadium but complained about inoperable credit card machines, concessions stands that weren’t open and escalators that didn’t work" (PALM BEACH POST, 8/30).
