Miami—Formula One fans, it’s almost time for lights out in the Sunshine State.
Planning for the inaugural Grand Prix began in 2019, but ground wasn’t broken until April ’21. Over the last 12 months, 24,000 tons of asphalt has been poured around the beloved Hard Rock Stadium, home of the Dolphins, in Miami Gardens. It joins the Formula One schedule as the second race in the United States (the U.S. Grand Prix at Circuit of The Americas in Austin is the other). However, a third will be added in 2023—Las Vegas.
Hard Rock Stadium has become a global entertainment powerhouse, hosting the likes of the Miami Open, the 2020 Super Bowl and ’21 College Football Playoff national championship.
