Copa America final adds to long list of major events at Dolphins’ Hard Rock Stadium
This weekend, Lionel Messi will play before a sellout crowd at Hard Rock Stadium. A few months ago, Max Verstappen, Coco Gauff and Carlos Alcaraz competed there. In a few months, Taylor Swift arrives for a series of shows.
Say this for the home of the Miami Dolphins: There’s a lot more than football happening there.
The Copa America soccer final on Sunday pitting Messi and Argentina against Colombia is just the latest in a long line of major events coming to the home of the Dolphins, which is precisely what stadium and Dolphins owner Stephen Ross envisioned when he began spending more than $1 billion of his personal fortune - private money, it should be noted - to remodel the facility and create a global entertainment destination.
“I don’t think there is another place in the world where all of those people have kind of showcased their talents in one place,” said Tom Garfinkel, who is Vice Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Dolphins and Hard Rock Stadium, as well as managing partner of the Formula 1 race that happens there. “And we’re proud of that.”
