Hard Rock Stadium is outdoors with a large canopy covering most seats (added 2016) and Miami humidity is classified as extreme in June and July. This is not metaphorical — people have required medical attention at events here in summer. Bring a misting fan, drink a litre of water before entering, and dress in the most breathable thing you own. The atmosphere inside is electric but you need to prepare for the heat like it's your job.
