Getting There & Away

Transport options to and from the stadium

Brightline + Shuttle

Transport

Brightline train from downtown Miami to Aventura station, then a free shuttle to the stadium. Fast, air-conditioned, and much better than driving. Parking at the stadium is $50-80 and traffic on the Dolphin Expressway is brutal on matchdays.

Post-Match Rideshare

Transport

Rideshare pickup is in the Orange Lot, east of the stadium. Expect 30-45 minute waits and surge pricing after full-time. Tip: walk 15 minutes to the sports bars on NW 186th St and order from there to beat both the surge and the traffic jam.
