44th Superbowl: Miami Gardens, Florida

The 44th Superbowl (dont you just love the fact that they still use Roman numerals for this... XLIV!) will take place in Miami Gardens, Florida, at Dolphin Stadium, on February 7, 2010.

The Who will be performing during halftime. (The Who consists of Pete Townsend, Roger Daltrey, along with Simon Townshend, Pino Palladino, Zak Starkey, and John "Rabbit" Bundrick).

The entire area of Florida around Miami Gardens will be jam-packed, not only with people attending the Superbowl -- 76,500 people fit into Dolphin Stadium, where most will be watchign from the jumbotrons since they'll be too far away to actually see the action on the field!) but also all the activities and parties surrounding it.

And of course in Februrary, there will be millions of people in Florida taking a vacation from winter weather.

Miami is located at the very southern tip of Florida. Here's a bit of info on the city of Miamia Gardens, from Wikipedia.

Miami Gardens is a Miami suburban city located in Miami-Dade County, Florida. The city name comes from one of the major roadways through the area, Miami Gardens Drive. Since Key Biscayne was incorporated in 1991, there has been a movement in several unincorporated areas, also known as census-designated places (CDPs) throughout Miami-Dade County to incorporate as cities, often due to a perceived lack of attention or services from Miami-Dade County government. Residents in Miami-Dade county who lived on the Broward County line in the former CDPs of Andover, Bunche Park, Carol City, Lake Lucerne, Norwood, Opa-Locka North, and Scott Lake voted to incorporate as the city of Miami Gardens in 2003, although some of those CDPs were not entirely incorporated. The city was incorporated on May 13, 2003.


The city has about 100,000 residents. It is not a particularly safe city -- only 4% of Florida cities have higher crime rates, and there is a lot of violent crime -- so if you're planning on visiting there for the Superbowl, travel in groups or stay in neighboring cities.

Both the Dolphins and the Florida Marlins play at Dolphin Stadium, as do the University of Miami Hurricanes.
