Transit
The stadium has no rail station; for Dolphins home games, Brightline's End Zone Express runs to its Aventura station, where a free shuttle (Brightline ticket required) takes fans to the Gate 3 pedestrian bridge on NW 199th Street. Brightline runs the same shuttle for some concerts and other events, but not for every event.

Parking is prepaid only and must be bought in advance; the one day-of option is $10 parking at the GEICO HRS Express lots (subject to availability), which include a free shuttle. Parking gates, like the rest of the stadium, are cashless.
Wheelchair-accessible seating is in designated sections on the 100, 200 and 300 levels, and wheelchair escorts run between the gates and seats. For Dolphins and University of Miami games, inner-lot ADA parking needs a pre-purchased 'ADA Reserved' pass; ADA spaces in the outer Yellow and Gray lots have mobility shuttles on request (305-943-8000).

How it's measured
Each measure is a percentile rank among GoalPost's 222 stadium pages, and the stature is their average. Major finals: a World Cup, European Championship or Champions League final counts three; a Copa América, Copa Libertadores, Europa League or Club World Cup final two; a Conference League, Copa Sudamericana, Africa Cup of Nations, Asian Cup or Gold Cup final one; a final over two legs is shared between its grounds, and a ground built on an older one's site counts from its own opening (the old Wembley's finals are not the new one's). Big nights: continental club and national-team matches since July 2021, from GoalPost's archive. Home club: the best GoalPost Rating (GPR) among the clubs that play here. This season's matches are shown, not ranked.
