I can personally verify that the Dugout seats kick a whole lot of butt.
We started off by Gate G where people with executive suites and people going to administrative offices enter.
Once they scan your ticket and make sure you belong, you get escorted through what looks kind of like a service tunnel until you get to like a ribboned off area that has some high-top tables and chairs, and a buffet spread all set up. If you look back at the tunnel from this area, there's a door to the Dolphins locker room where the players come out and up thru the tunnel to head onto the field.
Behind the tables is a stair well leading to a little area that has a full bar and bartender. Then up some steps is the baseball dugout with the bench behind you and some more steps to the field level where you can stand and hang off the wall and watch the game at field level.
If you look behind you from the wall, you can actually see over the top of the dugout to the first couple of rows of people sitting above you. Big Papa Pump is one of those guys. You can say hi to him if you want
If you wanted you could just still face that direction (away from the field) and check out the "smaller" of the two HD jumbotrons from a pretty close vantage. Or you could just stare across the 100 yard field to the larger HD screen.
Right at the wall right below where you chill watchin the game, there's a bunch of photographers crouching to get pictures. Careful not to spill your beer on them, they don't like that
At some point a cameraman will probably come by and scan the wall for the jumbo tron.
Oh yeah, and if you're hanging toward the side of the dugout, and if either offense starts knockin on the door of the west endzone, WATCH OUT! An inaccurate ball could hit you right in the freaking face! My greatest fear was that an errant throw would come right for my head and I'd fail to block it right on the jumbotron so everyone in the crowd, and the national audience watching the game on tv of course, would all think I have no athletic ability whatsoever.
Beers are $5 for 12 oz cans. Mixed drinks are $8.
When I went, Wayne Huizenga came up to the dugout on the way to the tunnel to say hi and then in the tunnel across from the locker room by the tables and buffet we had him come over again and I got him to sign a t-shirt that a friend made for me with an iron-on picture of the Dolphins logo peeing on the Jets logo. I got to shake hands with him, get him to take a look at the shirt and laugh, asked him for a job (and was denied), and Propain got his program signed by Wayne.
Oh yeah and Zach Thomas came over to the area after the game was over and gave both of his gloves to us. We made sure he gave them to the two little kids that were in the area with us instead of one of us adults ganking them things. You know we all wanted them, but had to be good to the kids!
No autograph opportunities aside from that though. Zach was going to try and sign Propain's ticket and my t-shirt but he had to get his butt into the locker room and asked if he could get us after...but the staff wouldn't let us stick around to wait for him.
