Road Closures & Resident Access
Significant road closures will be in effect before and after each match, including access ramps and several streets near the stadium. Residents of Miami Gardens with proper ID or City-issued passes will be able to bypass some closures using designated routes.
Bag Policy & Stadium Access
Fans must adhere to a clear bag policy—allowed items include plastic bags no larger than 12″ x 6″ x 12″ and small bags under 4.5″ x 6.5″. Larger or non-clear bags are prohibited.
