Earlier this week, the Dolphins announced a new Park & Ride system to improve fans’ gameday experience. Additional transportation options, per Dolphins corporate communications, are as follows:

▪ Park & Ride: At $10 per vehicle, fans have the option to park at one of two Park and Ride lots and take a complimentary shuttle directly to and from Hard Rock Stadium. Dedicated express lanes which bypass game day traffic will get fans inside the stadium faster than driving their own vehicle, with a convenient drop-off right at the northwest stadium gate. Park & Ride Lot options include Lot 70 across from the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel and Lot 95 at the Golden Glades Parking Garage. The first 25 guests at each location will receive the GEICO Shuttle Experience, where they will ride a GEICO-branded van for a VIP Luxury shuttle service.

▪ Uber Shuttle: Fans needing ride share service after the game can book an Uber Shuttle using their Uber app. Uber Shuttle facilitates fixed-fare shuttles a short walk from the stadium near the Lot 18 pedestrian bridge and drop off at Bayfront or Brickell in Miami, where guests can either further their Uber journey or walk to their final destination. Courtesy of Jack Daniel’s and their Safe Ride Home initiative, fans will be able to get $5 off when they book Uber Shuttle in the Uber app by using a special code they find on social media.

▪ Brightline: Fans can enjoy round-trip shuttle service directly to Hard Rock Stadium from the Aventura Brightline Station. Shuttles will depart 10 minutes after the arrival of each train. Shuttles from Hard Rock Stadium will depart from the Lot 18 pedestrian bridge one hour before each scheduled End Zone Express train departure. Prepurchase of a Brightline ticket is required to board the shuttles.

▪ Ride Share: The designated ride share drop-off and pick-up area for fans has moved to Lot 30 on NW 37th Avenue. Due to a high volume of guests leaving the stadium, it is advised to anticipate a longer than normal wait time for rideshare postgame.

▪ Taxi: Taxis will drop off at Hard Rock Stadium along NW 199th Street and are available on NW 199th Street postgame and operate on a first-come, first-served basis. Pricing of Taxi services are at the jurisdiction of taxi providers.

Planning to park at Hard Rock Stadium? Just make sure you prepurchased a parking pass!

Who isn’t suiting up?

As of Thursday evening, rookie receiver Malik Washington is the only Dolphins player ruled out with a quadriceps injury.

Jalen Ramsey practiced Friday for only the second time in three weeks due to a hamstring injury. The All-Pro cornerback is listed as questionable for Sunday. If he doesn’t play, look for Ethan Bonner and/or Storm Duck to get an extended run on the outside.

What’s the significance of Sunday’s game?

Aside from it being the Dolphins’ first game of the regular season, it’s a rematch of the 2019 College Football Playoff National Title game in which the Trevor Lawrence-led Clemson Tigers blew out Tua Tagovailoa and the Alabama Crimson Tide, 44-16.

Tagovailoa hasn’t beat Lawrence since then, losing to the Jacksonville Jaguars 23-20 in 2021.

The Dolphins franchise quarterback, however, has something this year that he hasn’t had in previous games against Lawrence: an offensive mastermind in Mike McDaniel as his head coach?
