MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. (AP) The Miami Dolphins are about to play in their stadium for the first time since a major remodeling project began.
Renovations won’t be done when the Dolphins and Atlanta Falcons kick off Saturday. In fact, the two-year project still has a year to go, and the estimated cost has climbed above $425 million.
But the stadium will be ready for the game. Workers scurried about Thursday while Dolphins president and CEO Tom Garfinkel gave a tour of the site.
Every seat has been replaced, suites and bathrooms have been redesigned, and the concourses are being rebuilt. There’s lots of new flooring, lighting and woodwork – and plenty of dust, which is expected to be gone by Saturday.
