Match-day transport options

#1

Tri-Rail + Stadium Shuttle

Recommended

Take Tri-Rail to Opa-Locka station. A free match-day shuttle runs every 10 min to Hard Rock Stadium (15 min). The shuttle is FIFA-branded and uses the dedicated bus lane on NW 199th Street.

Duration: ~50 min from Downtown Cost: USD 5 one-way (no World Cup hike) — show transit ticket + match ticket for USD 10 stadium food/beverage credit
#2

Metrobus 297 'Stadium Express'

Special match-day bus from the Earlington Heights Metrorail station. Tap-to-pay with a contactless card. Runs from 4 hours before until 2 hours after kickoff. Combine with the USD 10 food/beverage credit at the Guest Services Booth (Section 101) — show your transit proof + match ticket.

Cost: USD 2.25 (standard fare — no World Cup hike)
#3

Uber / Lyft

Drop-off is at Lot 17 on the north side. Avoid I-95 — use the Florida Turnpike instead. Surge after the match averages 3.5×. Walk to the IKEA across NW 27th Ave to escape the surge zone.

Leaving the stadium

Tri-Rail runs special return trips for 90 minutes after the match. If kickoff is after 8 pm, double-check the last train south to Fort Lauderdale/Miami — it's tight.

Heads up

  • ·June afternoons hit 95°F (35°C) with 80% humidity. Bring water and a hat — and budget extra walk time, you'll move slowly.
