Miami Dolphins transform Hard Rock Stadium into drive-in theater amid pandemic

The 2020-21 NFL season is currently on hold due to the coronavirus pandemic that has gripped the globe. The coronavirus count in the USA has reached the 1.72 million mark with the death toll crossing the 100,000 barrier as of Wednesday, May 27, 2020. NFL clubs are doing their bit to help out the community by providing food packages and other essential supplies to affected members. However, NFL and MLB franchises are also working on other forms of community service that involve building morale amongst Americans across the nation. NFL franchise Miami Dolphins have developed a plan to boost local morale by converting the popular Dolphins Stadium into a drive-in theater in the coming weeks.

Miami Dolphins players and staff may be off duty but the Dolphins Stadium (better known as the Hard Rock Stadium) is gearing up to host spectators but not for an NFL game. In fact, the popular Hard Rock Stadium will be converted into a Dolphins drive-in theater amid the ongoing pandemic. In an official announcement on Tuesday, Dolphins representatives claimed that they plan to open a pair of entertainment venues, including a drive-in theater, at the 65,000-seat Hard Rock Stadium which also hosted the Superbowl earlier this year.

The official release further added that up to 230 cars will be allowed inside the Dolphins Stadium for drive-in showings, while small groups will be permitted to host open-air viewings at the complex's south end which features large state-of-the-art screens. In addition to commercial films and shows, the Hard Rock Stadium's Dolphins drive-in theater will also telecast memorable Dolphins games from the team's 54-year history. Miami Dolphins owner Stephen Ross said the franchise is currently planning on hosting fans ahead of the start of the 2020 NFL season but is unsure if things will go according to plan in the coming weeks.
