AFJF Posted May 25, 2016 Share Posted May 25, 2016 Not sure if anybody noticed or not, and it's driving me nuts for some reason, but future Super Bowl destinations were announced today, and every single announcement on official NFL channels (TV, twitter, ESPN, Sirius XM NFL radio) have all said the SB will be held in "South Florida" and not one site/source has referred to it as Miami. They moving? Changing names? Somebody say the name Miami is offensive? What gives? Anyone hear anything? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drdetroit Posted May 25, 2016 Share Posted May 25, 2016 Dolphins may or may not be getting a new stadium soon. If so, it will probably be in another part of South Florida. Personally I think the Dolphins should have moved to LA when they had the chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GREENBEAN Posted May 25, 2016 Share Posted May 25, 2016 I live right 5 min from SunLife stadium and they are in the process of putting a roof on it. The construction project is immense. Trust me they are not putting all of that money into this stadium to move the Fins to another location. THe roof was per the NFL's request I believe.

GREENBEAN Posted May 25, 2016 Share Posted May 25, 2016 I suck at adding pics and stuff. Click this very small link and you can see the new stadium art work. It looks a little different than the pick but it's the same basic idea. https://images.search.yahoo.com/images/view;_ylt=AwrB8qBQ.URXWAsArf8unIlQ;_ylu=X3oDMTIyYjFwM3RlBHNlYwNzcgRzbGsDaW1nBG9pZAMwNjBmZTg0OTM3NzI2MTJjMmIxNTY4YWI2MGYxZmI0NwRncG9zAzIEaXQDYmluZw--?.origin=&back=https%3A%2F%2Fimages.search.yahoo.com%2Fyhs%2Fsearch%3Fp%3Dsun%2Blife%2Bstadium%2Brenovations%26fr%3Dyhs-mozilla-001%26fr2%3Dpiv-web%26hsimp%3Dyhs-001%26hspart%3Dmozilla%26tab%3Dorganic%26ri%3D2&w=1024&h=576&imgurl=gamedayr.com%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2014%2F06%2Fsun-life-stadium-canopy-renovations.jpeg&rurl=http%3A%2F%2Fgamedayr.com%2Flifestyle%2Fsports-biz%2Fsun-life-stadium-renovation-renderings-new-canopy-110174%2F&size=155.6KB&name=LOOK%3A+%3Cb%3ESun%3C%2Fb%3E+%3Cb%3ELife%3C%2Fb%3E+%3Cb%3EStadium%3C%2Fb%3E+%3Cb%3ERenovation%3C%2Fb%3E+Renderings+Of+New+Canopy&p=sun+life+stadium+renovations&oid=060fe8493772612c2b1568ab60f1fb47&fr2=piv-web&fr=yhs-mozilla-001&tt=LOOK%3A+%3Cb%3ESun%3C%2Fb%3E+%3Cb%3ELife%3C%2Fb%3E+%3Cb%3EStadium%3C%2Fb%3E+%3Cb%3ERenovation%3C%2Fb%3E+Renderings+Of+New+Canopy&b=0&ni=21&no=2&ts=&tab=organic&sigr=13226up4k&sigb=14m8sk0te&sigi=12gv5leuu&sigt=12mtahm31&sign=12mtahm31&.crumb=afHTSP1WqiP&fr=yhs-mozilla-001&fr2=piv-web&hsimp=yhs-001&hspart=mozilla Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rex-n-effect Posted May 25, 2016 Share Posted May 25, 2016 SunLife is not actually in Miami but in Miami Gardens. This would be like asking why a game at MetLife is referred to as the meadowlands rather than NYC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RutgersJetFan Posted May 25, 2016 Share Posted May 25, 2016 Considering the giant abysmal failure that is the Marlins new park, there is absolutely no chance that anywhere else between West Palm and Miami is ponying up for yet another new stadium right now.

Jetfan13 Posted May 25, 2016 Share Posted May 25, 2016 As a Hurricane season ticket holder I am looking forward to the completion of construction for this season. Last year they took up a lot of space with trucks/equipment and the tail-gating sucked. This year I look forward to a nice experience. As stated the stadium isn't even in Miami. I really laugh when they are on tv and they show South Beach as if its in the area. HA! The roof was mandatory if the stadium was to EVER get another Super Bowl.

The pussification of football continues to grow. They're doing it because the NFL wants a roof to prevent rain during the Super Bowl. However, in South Florida January/February is the dry season and it doesn't rain very often then, so I'm not sure. For September/October regular season games, maybe they'll use the roof too when it rains to put butts in the seats and have A/C, but they won't be required to.

That is flat out insane imo, putting on a roof just so the super bowl won't have rain. I guess I'm a dinosaur as far as football watching habits goes.

nyjunc Posted May 25, 2016 Share Posted May 25, 2016 the partial roof is not for keeping rain out. they got SBs b/c they made the necessary improvements regarding club seating, etc... the roof was more about protecting fans during the early part of the season. I think the new stadium looks awful, it looks too much like a bad european soccer stadium. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think it's going to be totally covered from what they were saying down here is it will be made to keep the home team side shaded for a longer period of time then the visiting team when it comes to the 1 o'clock games. I don't know the full details of the roof but I don't think it covers 100% of the stadium. If those are the actual pictures it's kind of a half ass roof.

I don't know why the NFL would be interested in that, unless the Dolphins were having serious trouble selling tickets on that side of the stadium and running at a loss. As I said, this seems to provide little benefit for the Super Bowl, because it's in the evening and it doesn't rain much in February. Weird.
