History

Towards the end of the Years 1970 - beginning of the Years 1980, Joe Robbie, the owner of the Miami Dolphins, starts to make pressure for the construction of a new stage for its team, which has played in the Miami Orange Bowl for several decades. To be built, the stage would require a rise of the taxes, that the voters refuse. Robbie finally decides to finance itself the future stage. Work begins in December 1985, the architectural firm HOK Sport dealing with the design of the building. The stage was completed two years later and baptized Joe Robbie Stadium , his cost of construction was of $115 million USD and it was financed to 90% by private funds. The Miami Dolphins play there their first match the August 16th 1987, against the Chicago Bears, winners 10 to 3.

The Joe Robbie Stadium is much more modern than the Miami Orange Bowl. The building has 74.916 orange seats which surround the ground. With its many slopes and escalators, accessibility with all the seats is easy. Two screens videos Daktronics ProStar® Hi-Definition are located above the platforms on the East-West end of the stage.

When the stage was built for the Dolphins, Joe Robbie insisted for a rectangular provision of the platforms which was broader than necessary for the American football, believer that the Base-ball comes one day to Miami.
