The Miami Dolphins need a new name for their stadium.
Since moving from the Orange Bowl to their current stadium in Miami Gardens, the Miami Dolphins have had six different names for the place they call home. And soon there will be a seventh name for the stadium built in 1987 and currently undergoing a massive half-billion-dollar upgrade.
When first opened for the 1987 season, it was known as Joe Robbie Stadium, named after the team’s original owner, who funded the entire $115 million cost of building it. When Wayne Huizenga took over ownership of the team, he sold the naming rights to the highest bidder in 1996, and the stadium was known as Pro Player Park that year, then Pro Player Stadium until 2004.
