Now that construction work at Hard Rock Stadium is winding down and the Dolphins have landed the 2020 Super Bowl, their work isn’t over.The Dolphins would eventually like to host the NFL Draft, said Tom Garfinkel, the club’s president and CEO.
“We’ve love the draft,” Garfinkel said Thursday during a media tour of the stadium that featured new artwork and concessions. “Why wouldn’t we? If we can bring that here and it’s exciting for South Florida, we would want to bring it here.”
The draft had been traditionally held in New York but the two most recent selection meetings were in Chicago. The NFL plans to open bidding for future drafts.
Garfinkel said the draft is “not something we’ve specifically bid on, but as we move forward, as we get through these renovations, we’re open to anything we can bring that makes sense.”
• Garfinkel also said the Dolphins hope to create three different concert seating arrangements at the stadium, with capacities of 10,000, 20,000 and 50,000.
“You can bring in different artists and create different environments,” he said.
• Although the canopy wasn’t fully in place at the most recent University of Miami game, it is now, Garfinkel said. Crews have been checking for leaks and sealing where needed since the last pieces of the canopy were installed.
“I would expect it to be 99.9 percent dry on Sunday if we have rain,” he said, referring to the Dolphins’ home opener at 1 p.m. against the Cleveland Browns.
He pointed out that the canopy is designed to shield 92 percent of the seats from the sun and will keep most fans dry, but with a hole in the middle for the sun to hit the field, he warned that some fans still will get wet, particularly if the wind is blowing rain at an angle.

Happy to report why Don Shula didn't attend mural unveiling: He's in SF, doing well after pacemaker was implanted. http://pbpo.st/2cVz5BY

David Shula, on Don: "He’s recovered nicely and he has good quality of life and he’s able to enjoy things.”

That is a trippy wall. I like it... and that girl standing there
 
I wish they'd worry more about revamping our scouting department than all the shiny stuff like this, which fascinates Ross.
 
Hosting the draft it's cool. Now if they would nust learn HOW to draft then that would be great

Ozzy rules
 
Maybe Tannenbaum can trade 5 picks for the right to host the draft.

Well, on the bright side maybe they could find a way to tap the phones to find out what everyone is saying and how their draft boards are stacked. Because let's face it, the only way Tannenbaum is gonna ace a draft is if he cheats.

FOR REAL!

Miami wants to host a SB. How about building a team to PLAY in a SB
Miami wants to host a draft. How about focusing on actually drafting studs on draft day. Not see Miami pass on studs for scrubs in your own backyard.
 
I'm not sure that would be a comfortable venue for the NFL Draft
 
The first overall pick won't have to travel after the draft.

This.

Perhaps if Ross cared half as much about this team as he did about hosting these events we might not be stuck with only looking forward to what we are hosting.

The Miami Dolphins are a hobby to Stephen Ross. At this point i just wish he wasn't so blatant about it.

His Tim Tebow day was very evident of this.
 
We can set up a Finheaven trip, I'll wear my tannehill jersey and you guys can all call me a orange and tell me I have an agenda. It will be awesome!

And than we can hit the strip club and sniff all the coke and debate tannehills deep ball!

You have a lot to learn. You never discuss balls (deep or otherwise) in a strip club. That's just wrong. :lol:
