About Miami Hurricanes vs Florida State Seminoles

Few rivalries in college football carry as much history and bitterness as this one, and both fan bases travel in force whenever the teams meet. Expect a stadium split almost evenly down the middle, with orange and green on one side and garnet and gold on the other, chants overlapping through the tunnels for hours before kickoff.

Tailgates fill the surrounding lots from early morning, with alumni, students and families grilling and swapping stories about seasons past. The result rarely settles anything beyond bragging rights, but that has never once dulled the intensity.

Where to stay nearby

West Hollywood sits closest to the stadium and offers the widest hotel selection nearby, making it a practical first choice for matchday. Hialeah is a shorter, quieter alternative with a handful of properties if you book early. Miami itself is further out but has by far the largest range of hotels, along with more restaurants and nightlife for a full weekend around the game. Whichever base you choose, plan for heavy traffic converging on Miami Gardens as kickoff approaches, and allow extra time for the drive.

About Miami Dolphins

Miami joined the AFL as an expansion franchise in 1966, the marine name fitting a coastal city built around the sea. The Dolphins remain the only team in NFL history to complete a perfect season, going 17-0 in 1972 and capping it with victory in Super Bowl VII, a record no team has matched since; Miami won again the following year for back-to-back titles.

Coach Don Shula, whose tenure spans both championships and a later Dan Marino-led era of prolific passing without a further Super Bowl win, is the winningest coach in NFL history. Hard Rock Stadium's open-air design and Miami's heat and humidity remain a genuine test for visiting teams late in the season.

Miami Dolphins records & quirks

  • Miami beat Washington 14-7 in Super Bowl VII to cap the only perfect season in modern NFL history.
  • Starting QB Bob Griese broke his leg in week 5 of 1972; backup Earl Morrall won the next nine games.
  • Safety Jake Scott was named Super Bowl VII MVP.

About Hard Rock Stadium

Home to the Miami Dolphins and host of Super Bowls, Formula One's Miami Grand Prix and major concerts, Hard Rock Stadium occupies a suburban site in Miami Gardens, north of Miami proper. The surrounding area is largely residential, with Wynwood, Brickell and the beach cities a drive south. Broward County Transit buses serve the area, but most fans arrive by car or rideshare.

Booking a room in Miami Beach or downtown Miami keeps the city's electric dining and nightlife close, with rideshare a straightforward option to reach the stadium.
