This enhanced, multi-year agreement builds upon Verizon's longstanding relationship with the Miami Dolphins and Hard Rock Stadium, which began in 2017 and reflects a broader integration across the entire venue and its premier events. From powering the fan journey at Dolphins games to supporting major global events like the Super Bowl and international soccer matches, Verizon has played an integral role in enriching the fan experience through its cutting-edge technological solutions across Hard Rock Stadium's diverse event calendar. The new partnership with the FORMULA 1 CRYPTO.COM MIAMI GRAND PRIX marks a natural evolution of this deep-rooted relationship, as Verizon extends its capabilities and presence across the campus during race weekend.
This enhanced partnership also includes expanded collaboration across the Miami Dolphins and Hard Rock Stadium brands. Verizon will play a larger role in supporting the Dolphins community initiatives that reach deep into the South Florida region, including programs like the FOOTBALL UNITES™ Jason Jenkins Day of Service and Dolphins Cancer Challenge (DCC), the NFL's largest fundraising event supporting cancer research.
Verizon will work alongside Hard Rock Stadium to serve fans across a diverse slate of world-class events – from football and soccer to concerts and music festivals – reinforcing the stadium's status as a global entertainment destination. The collaboration will also showcase the company's commitment to supporting small businesses across South Florida as it will aim to partner with local organizations to ensure each event represents the dynamic community.
