Just moved to St Pete area from upstate NY and I'm taking the trek down to watch the game this weekend. I've been to many Fins games in Buffalo and NYC against the Jets among a couple other places but I've never been to a home game. That said is there anything in the stadium I should make sure I go see before the game or any place that's awesome to watch warm ups - anything like that? Just looking for some advice...
 
Avoid the pro shop, it's all overpriced. Quality **** in there but it costs too much tbh. Find some tailgaters and have fun.
 
I live in the burg and am going as well!! My first time too, lets hope they keep up the intensity we saw sunday.

What kind of stuff do they have at the pro shop? Other than clothing of course

<--- Jealous. I've never been to Sun Life. Heck, I've never been to a Dolphins game. Just never seem to be able to get to my bucket list.

Have fun!
 
The newly renovated stadium and the newly invigorated Dolphins!
 
Have a blast hope you get to experience a victory, Dolfans know how to celebrate.

Still can't grasp that it's only our second home game heading into the final week of October.

Not sure what level you are sitting at but for newcomers I recommend the Plaza at Gate G. Some games for the big boys and the little boys. Some music. Don't eat there though. Much better food inside now. The 100 level and 300 level has some sitting areas and excellent food.

I took some pics of the food venues in the 100 level during the preseason. The 300 level has the same food. And all are open now. I recommend a traditional and iconic Sloppy Joe's Burger (Key West tradition). The little one will love it. It's good and messy.

For warm ups: if you sit in the 100 level it can't get any better. The view is always good. If you are in the 300 level and you don't want to go to your seats yet stay at the corners which are wide open. For a first timer they seem awkward but thankfully they put the new scoreboards there next year.

Remember to get there a little earlier. The cash lots are quite a distance away. Try to get a parking pass on StubHub or somewhere.

Here are some pics of the food venues.
