Future

On June 28, 2014, the Dolphins began their $400 million modernization of Sun Life Stadium, a renovation that includes all new seats, a shade canopy, enhanced video boards and concession improvements. The facelift should be completed for the start of the 2016 season, when the stadium will undergo yet another name change.

Comments

When the upcoming facelift is complete, what would you choose for the new name? Or, if you like it the way it is, what's your fondest memory from a Dolphins home game you attended?
