1) Seating Map
2) Seat Views & Descriptions
Sections below align with the map above. Look for quick notes on view quality, cover/shade, and value.
Upper Level Corner (352–355, 309–312, 324–327, 337–340)
Smaller sections beneath corner videoboards; fun vantage and easy scoreboard viewing. Some corners have as few as 2 rows (others up to ~14), making access quick.
Upper Level End Zone (301–308, 356 / 328–336)
Most budget-friendly. Views to the far end are distant, but boards help. Fully covered by the roof; rows 3–10 balance height and quick tunnel access.
Upper Level Sidelines (341–351, 313–323)
Traditional view with full roof cover. Sweet spot near midfield (317–319, 345–347). For easier access and railing clearance, rows 4–6 are strong.
Level 100/200 Corner (252–254, 209–212, 224–227, 237–240 / 153–154, 110–111, 125–126, 138–139)
Closer to action with unique angles to scoring plays. Some corners include terrace high-tops in the back rows (availability varies by event).
Level 100/200 End Zone (201–208, 255 / 228–236, 101–107, 129–135)
Affordable lower-level with straight-on sight lines. Higher rows improve views to the far end and shorten walks to concourse under the canopy.
Level 100/200 Sidelines (142–144, 148–150, 114–122 / 213–223, 242–250)
Prime views; premium clubs near midfield (e.g., 72 Club / Golden Cane Club depending on event). Seats higher in the section are popular for shade and quick access.
Shade & Weather at Hard Rock Stadium
- Canopy coverage: Most seats are under the roof; upper levels get consistent cover.
- South vs. north side: South side tends to see shade earlier in the day.
- Comfort rows: Higher rows in each level have better cover and faster concourse access.
Team Benches & Sightlines
Sideline seats near midfield deliver the most complete field view. If you prefer seeing player huddles and coaches, choose seats behind your team’s bench (bench sides can vary by event—confirm on the event map).
Concert Seating Notes
For concert setups, the stage is typically at one end zone with floor sections added. Sidelines closer to the stage offer better sightlines than deep end-zone corners. Always check the event-specific map before purchasing.
