Parking

On-site parking commonly sells out ahead of games, at which point the stadium directs fans to its Park & Ride program instead — the official site doesn't publish a flat on-site rate.

Park & Ride lots are Lot 70 (Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino, Fort Lauderdale) and Lot 95 (Golden Glades Parking Garage, Miami), both with complimentary shuttles to the stadium's northwest corner. Sourced partly to secondary aggregators for the on-site rate figures.
