Dolphin Stadium Update

In the weeks between the final Marlins game of the 2006 season on Oct. 1 and Sunday's Dolphins-Green Bay Packers game, lots of progress has been made on Dolphin Stadium's massive $250 million renovation project.

All the scaffolding on the stadium’s north side and much of it on the south side has been removed to reveal the completed concrete work that composes three levels of platforms adding more than 100 feet of space on both sides of the stadium. The platform areas will eventually house restaurants, clubs and other amenities.

Team and stadium officials have not formally announced their plans while they finalize the details of what will be included in the improved stadium. But fans can get a good sense of the scope of the project, particularly when viewing the additions from the club level.

The platform areas will eventually be enclosed, but will remain open for Super Bowl XLI in February.

In the meantime, the team keeps adding activities to try to improve the game day experience for fans. On Sunday, Miami Dolphins PhotoTicket debuted. Kodak photographers roam the parking lots and stadium taking photos of fans, who then receive a card with instructions on how to order the photos online.
