Wow. I've been to a TON of games and I'm in and out of the parking lot lol. Not sure I've ever had to wait an hour. Then again, I drive like an ******* so I'm back on the turnpike headed North back to Lauderdale in 15 minutes. Maybe the longest I've had to stick around in traffic was last season for the Saints game. I didn't get there until almost kickoff. Instead of parking in W-12 I had to park all the way over by Snake Creek which is on the other side of the stadium from where I sit. I guess the block it off after so long and instead of following the turnpike off of 2X to Dan Marino Boulevard you're forced to go straight into the North lot.
Your best bet is to fly down on a Friday morning, check out Lauderdale and Miami Friday and Saturday night. Las Olas, maybe South Beach, Coconut Grove and Mr. Moe's, hit the ale house in Hollywood, do up the game on Sunday and fly back out Monday afternoon. This gives you time to do what I do after every Dolphins game...
Hit Casola's in Miami off of US-1 and SW 17th close to the University of Miami. Best pizza in South Florida.
:d-day:
