About Cincinnati Bengals at Miami Dolphins

An early-season AFC clash that carries real playoff weight once the schedule tightens up in the back half of the year. Sunday's midday kickoff means fans gather well before noon, with tailgates starting early to beat the heat. Expect a heavy contingent of travelling supporters, since this matchup pits two fanbases with a long, needling rivalry against each other. Weather at this time of year is still firmly in shorts-and-sunscreen territory, so pack accordingly.

Where to stay nearby

West Hollywood sits closest to the stadium and carries the largest number of hotel options among the nearby bases, making it a practical first choice for matchday. Hialeah is a shorter hop too, though its catalog of hotels is much smaller, so book early if that's your preference. Miami itself is a bit further out but offers by far the widest range of accommodation, plus the usual restaurants and nightlife if you're turning the trip into a longer weekend. A car or rideshare is the simplest way to reach the stadium from any of these bases, with regular game-day traffic to plan around.

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.
