Miami World Cup: Walkability Woes Ahead
16 Jun
Summary
- Miami World Cup games are held at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens.
- The stadium is about 15 miles north of downtown Miami.
- Miami Gardens is a car-dependent suburb, not easily walkable.
The World Cup is kicking off in Miami, but attendees should brace for a commute rather than a walkable experience. The Hard Rock Stadium, designated as Miami Stadium for the tournament, is situated in Miami Gardens, roughly 15 miles north of downtown Miami.
Miami Gardens is characterized as a suburban, car-dependent area, making it difficult to walk to the stadium, especially for those staying in downtown Miami or arriving from Miami International Airport. While some dining options are nearby, they are predominantly fast-food chains.
Miami will host seven World Cup matches between June 15 and July 18. The tournament itself began on June 11 and will conclude on July 19, with tickets still available for purchase.
