When the Dolphins released their 2016 schedule, one thing was quickly noticeable.

Is that a built-in cushion in case ongoing construction work at the stadium isn’t completed? Maybe. And that may work out just fine for the Dolphins. But what happens to the Hurricanes, who are set to play two games at the stadium before the Dolphins’ regular-season opener.
