Miami has dropped out of the Super Bowl hosting rotation because Hard Rock Stadium no longer meets the NFL's site requirements, Dolphins owner Stephen Ross said this week.
Miami has hosted 11 Super Bowls, tied for the record with New Orleans, but none since Patrick Mahomes' Kansas City Chiefs defeated the San Francisco 49ers 31-20 in Super Bowl LIV on Feb. 2, 2020.
The 38-year-old venue also hosted the Super Bowl in 1989, 1995, 1999, 2007 and 2010. Before that, Miami held Super Bowls at the Orange Bowl in 1968, 1969, 1971, 1976 and 1979.
'We normally have one every five years,' Ross told the South Florida Business Journal. 'Miami is not really in line for one. It's always exciting to have the Super Bowl but that was before we had all the other events. Miami has by far the best weather. It's in their best interest to have one here but at this point they don't believe we meet all the requirements and the demands.'
Because the stadium added infrastructure on the property to host the Miami Open tennis tournament and a Formula 1 race every year, there is limited space on site for Super Bowl hospitality events.
'We are looking at how to make improvements,' Ross said. 'I want to make the stadium always feel like a new stadium (and) we are looking at what the next phase will be and making the fan experience that much better.'
The next three Super Bowls are scheduled to take place at SoFi Stadium (Inglewood, Calif.) in 2027, Mercedes-Benz Stadium (Atlanta) in 2028 and Allegiant Stadium (Paradise, Nev.).
