[edit] Soccer at Dolphin Stadium

  • What soccer games were held at this stadium ? 24.90.54.177 04:04, 18 December 2006 (UTC)
    • Haiti used it when their country wasn't safe enough to host matches. The Orange Bowl is used as the main Miami soccer venue, but the Hurricanes needed it. BobbyAFC 10:42, 30 January 2007 (UTC)
      • Did the US National team ever play a game here? Nyrmetros 04:28, 5 February 2007 (UTC)
        • Not to my knowledge BobbyAFC 11:55, 6 February 2007 (UTC)
          • I thought I read somewhere that the US National team played a friendly here as a warm up to the '94 World Cup. Nyrmetros 22:05, 22 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Dolphin or Dolphins Stadium?

There seems to be a few users that are stating the stadium's name was changed from Dolphins Stadium to Dolphin Stadium. However, I looked for a source including the Miami Herald, the Miami Dolphins website, and the Dolphins Stadium website. None have mentioned this change yet. Can anyone produce anything? Thanks.

  • The official Dolphins website says it's Dolphins Stadium. Wahkeenah 01:50, 5 April 2006 (UTC)
    • Dolphins owner Wayne Huizenga confirmed that the "s" will be dropped from the stadium name, it was reported in today's Miami Herald.[1] (Please see third article from top) Evill72 13:38, 5 April 2006 (UTC)
      • Once it actually is renamed, feel free to change it. Wahkeenah 02:02, 6 April 2006 (UTC)
        • I agree with Wahkeenah, it should remain the way it is until it is actually changed. Evill72 07:17, 6 April 2006 (UTC)
          • Unless they are going to announce it tomorrow, in which case it might not be worth the effort. But the article cited seemed to be a bit ambiguous about when it was going to actually get renamed. Wahkeenah 16:42, 6 April 2006 (UTC)
  • Until there is an official press release, or when the official web site http://www.dolphinsstadium.com/ makes the change, I think it should remain "Dolphins". Zzyzx11 (Talk) 19:11, 6 April 2006 (UTC)
    • I agree. So that should settle it. :) Wahkeenah 21:06, 6 April 2006 (UTC)
      • Disagree. The name will be "Dolphin Stadium" as of Monday (April 10), and the web site will likely change their name ASAP. NoseNuggets 12:45 PM US EDT Apr 7 2006.
  • Actually, I do not really care what the article actually says since it is only a few days. It will eventually be moved to Dolphin Stadium anyway. Zzyzx11 (Talk) 17:02, 7 April 2006 (UTC)
    • If it is absolutely, for sure, for real going to be renamed, then it's probably safe to "jump the gun", with the caveat that the article should say it "occurred" on whatever date, even if that date is a future date. Wahkeenah 17:10, 7 April 2006 (UTC)

As of today, April 8, everything on the website says "Dolphin Stadium". Therefore I'll go ahead and mve the article to that name. -Will Beback 22:04, 8 April 2006 (UTC)

Sept1 2006 why are we using a picture of the stadium in baseball format when it is a football stadium65.112.121.29 17:16, 1 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Is the phone number and other contact info really needed?

Is the phone number and other contact info really needed? Wikipeida is not a phone book. Ponch's Disco 19:58, 2 October 2006 (UTC)

Does anyone else think this aerial shot of the stadium looks like a Pentium III? Nature imitating art ;-) --Adzze 22:04, 5 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Hacked Website

After hearing something along the lines of the Dolphins team and/or stadium website being hacked into, I was thinking that maybe it would be a good idea to, for the time being, take the link off the article until it's fixed. Thoughts? --Rovership27 03:38, 4 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Any Given Sunday at Dolphin Stadium?

Any Given Sunday was filmed at the Orange Bowl in Miami, not Dolphin Stadium. It is correctly stated on the AGS page. If in doubt, look at the movie, and look for the open East end of the OB. Miami007 02:18, 8 February 2007 (UTC)
