Super Bowl XLIV - Your guide to Fort Lauderdale

Click on a label to read posts from that part of the world.

Technically the Sun Life Stadium (nee Pro Player Park, Pro Player Stadium, Dolphins Stadium, Dolphin Stadium and Land Shark Stadium) is located in Miami Gardens, less than a mile south of the Miami-Dade and Broward County line. Opa Locka is a few miles to the south.

The list of places mentioned in the pdf is pretty good -- I was a regular at many of them when growing up there and after returning after college. One placed I'd add is Ernie's BBQ near downtown Ft. Lauderdale.

It was nee Joe Robbie Stadium and to those that grew up near it it will always be JRS. While it's gone through 5-6 name changes in the last 10 years for over 20 it only had one.

Joe,

I can't believe I forgot JRS!!! I was so hung up on the goofy name changes that I overlooked it's "true" name. Thanks for setting that straight.

Mr. Robbie is a legend and it's a shame that his heirs got shafted by IRS inheritance rules then in effect.
