It's been 40 yrs but I'm coming down! I've never been able to get any player autographs ever! Do the players sign? If so when should I get to the stadium and where?

any other "can't miss" things to experience? Advice would be awesome! Thanks guys!
 
I also have been a fan for 40+ years...since 1971. I have never seen them in Miami, just five times Iin Denver.
 
enjoy the game, i will be there to for my first game since 2001, I'm an old head since 1970, still remember my first game in Shulas first year, we got killed by Cleveland but Ive been hooked every since. Im taking my son to his first pro game, i hope he has fond memories, and a love for the phins.

Get your ass to Miami once. That's over 300 home games you've missed.

Damn glad you will be with us Sunday! Lets make some noise!

As for your questions:

Autographs:

I've never gotten one at a game, from a current player. I suppose if you get in crazy early (parking doesn't open til 9am) you might catch some of the players coming in to work, or after the game as they are leaving, ive never tried either.

That said, you can usually meet at least one retired Fin on game day. Your best chance to meet an alumni would be in the fun zone area near the pregame show. (Gate G)

If you have kids they might enjoy Gate E. They have a bunch of kid events set up there.

ALSO, Sunday there will be a special Tailgate Party for season ticket holders. I don't even know where it is yet (my wife does, lol) But they are supposed to have alumni there as well.

If you want autographs from current players, I'd suggest hitting one of the practice sessions during the week. If you need directions, let me know. It's in Davie, not very far from the stadium. I've never been to a practice session where players didn't sign autographs afterwards. (Havent been to any this year though.)

See you there!

Most likely Gate G. There is a section they use for Members. Which membership do you guys have? Social, Family, Business or Finatic?
I think the Finatic is the only one with a tailgate every game. The others rotate at Gate G.

Finatic of course!

Tailgate isn't every game though, just one. I think they split it up where each package has a different day.

They do have the Nat Moore tailgate thing every game, but I think that one is different, I think anyone can pay to enter that one, I've hung out outside it a few times in past years (haven't gone by this year though, so who knows..?)

Plus, they make you rsvp for the event. I know my wife gave them an earful when they told her we can only get two passes, even though we have 4 season tickets. (They ended up doing the right thing and giving us 4 passes.)

Good question. If he has club level seats (200's or field box). He can chill in the club level, check out the hall of whatchamacallit (cool fins hall of fame exhibit) eat at the badass buffet, and probably bump into more alums up there.
