MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. -- Miami Dolphins owner Stephen Ross stood at the lectern, exuding the confidence of a proud father bragging about his child who is the star quarterback. His newest baby, the Dolphins' $135 million practice facility, was officially put on display Tuesday as corporate partners, employees and media members toured what will be the team's new home.
It's a big step up from Nova Southeastern in Davie, Florida where the Dolphins have held training camp and practices since 1993. The new Baptist Health Training Complex features an indoor facility with a turf field, two outdoor natural grass fields, a player's lounge, four pools (two hydrotherapy, one lap and one hydroworks with an underwater treadmill) and a 30-foot slide among other highlights.
