MIAMI GARDENS (CBSMiami) - The next phase of renovations at Sun Life Stadium has yielded a benefit of sorts for Dolfans.
Free parking.
Phase Two of the renovations include the installation of a massive open-air canopy that will provide shade for 92 percent of the seats. Currently, the steel trussing that will support the canopy is being assembled in the West parking lot at Sun Life Stadium.
Due to the construction, fans won't be able to park in the west lot. As a result, the Dolphins are offering fans five free designated offsite parking lots close to the stadium that have more than 2,200 parking spots. The free lots will be available for the rest of the season.
These lots are available on a first-come, first-served basis and will open four hours prior to kickoff. The downside is that tailgating will not be allowed in these offsite lots.
Limited parking is available in stadium lots for $25 in advance and $40 on the day of the game.
Routes to the free offsite parking lots are as follows:
