Dolphins' home to be named Hard Rock Stadium

Published: Aug 17, 2016 at 03:30 AM

Welcome to The Rock?

The Dolphins are holding a press conference on Wednesday afternoon to officially announce the new name of their stadium: Hard Rock Stadium.

The name, obviously in reference to the chain of classic rock-themed hotels and restaurants, will be unveiled alongside "exciting international soccer news," according to a release sent out by the club.

If the prospect of nabbing some Tupelo Chicken Tenders during a Ryan Tannehill start doesn't get you going, how about the guest list at the dais for Wednesday's press conference? Expected in attendance to make the announcement: Bernie Kosar, University of Miami Athletic Director Blake James and "international music superstar" Pitbull!

The name has endless potential for intimidating nicknames, now it's just up to new coach Adam Gase to make it a scary place to play.

The Dolphins' stadium was most recently known as Sun Life Stadium, but has also been known as Land Shark Stadium, Dolphin Stadium, Dolphins Stadium, Pro Player Stadium, Pro Player Park and Joe Robbie Stadium.
