Hard Rock Stadium To Feature Open-Air, Drive-In Theaters For Fans

The drive-in events will be inside Hard Rock Stadium and will accommodate up to 230 carsHARD ROCK STADIUM

Hard Rock Stadium will now be "home to an open-air theater and a drive-in theater," and both will show classic movies and classic Dolphins content, according to Connie Ogle of the MIAMI HERALD. The Outdoor Theaters include two new ways to "watch films in a socially distanced setting." The drive-in events will be "inside the stadium and will accommodate up to 230 cars." The open-air theater is a "more intimate viewing experience on the Hard Rock's south plaza." Restrooms will be open, and fans can "order food and drinks through an online ordering and payment system and have them delivered." No opening date "has been announced yet" (MIAMI HERALD, 5/27). The drive-in also will be available for graduation ceremonies and the like. Dolphins CEO Tom Garfinkel said the team has been working for weeks to find ways to use the space to provide safe options for gathering. Garfinkel: "It's a fundamental human need to physically experience and celebrate events and experiences together, and we're trying to provide options for everyone where they can be safely socially distant and socially present at the same time" (Ben Fischer, SBJ Unpacks).
