Any help would be appreciated for info on where you think I should stay? Do I need a rental car? Where do FinHeaven peeps tailgate? Wife wants to make arrangements for my B'day. Thanks guys and gals ahead of time! =0
If you're coming to South Florida the beaches are your best bet. Ft Lauderdale or Miami. Like another poster suggested you can catch party buses at multiple locations with really good prices. There's only one place out by the stadium that I would recommend and that's the Hard Rock casino. Hope you and your wife enjoy your stay.
Where are these party buses located? How do you find them? I would like to check into that next time.
Last time I went I stayed at the sports hotel next to the stadium. I had a nice room overlooking the track and stadium. I've heard some people say to stay away from it but I had a great experience there. Nice room, nice bar/restaurant. When I come down, it's all about the game so this allowed me not to have to worry about anything. They also provided a shuttle to and from the stadium.

I know the neighborhood surrounding the stadium is not very good and it was a night game so this worked out well.
I may try something different next time but probably not south beach. Maybe something farther north, just east of the stadium?
I always get a rental car and stay in either Fort Lauderdale or Miami Beach. Don't feel like dealing with taxis or buses.
me too.. i stay at the lowes in miami beach which is very nice.. the pelican in ft lauderdale is also nice.. A cool play to stay is Shula's in miami lakes which has all old dolphin stuff. (even if you dont stay at shula's, go there for dinner)
to me its easier to rent a car and drive, plus you can visit the training facility too if you have time
