The Dolphins Stadium Upgrade Will Give Shade To 92% of The Stadium. That Other 8%? The Opposing Team's Sideline

SG - Whoever was tasked with conceiving of these renovations clearly is cool with using the team’s tropical climate to their advantage. By 2016, Sun Life Stadium will feature a 360º awning that shields 92% of the stadium’s innards from the blazing radiation emitting from the yellow dwarf at the center of our solar system. The 8% that is not covered will be the opposing team’s sideline. When in Florida, barbeque your competition.

Well done, architect nerds. Well fucking done. That is a hell of a home field advantage for the Dolphins. Making the opposing team sizzle in the sun while everyone else sits cool in the shade is easily the most trolly thing in stadium building history. I can’t even think of anything that comes close. It’d be like at Lambeau if the Packers sideline featured a fire pit while the AC units blasted on the other side. Miami making 340 pound opposing offensive linemen be in the 8% of people who are frying in the sun during hot September football games is just amazing work. You have to slow clap and give them a tip of your cap.
