The Miami Dolphins and Hard Rock International officially announced the naming rights agreement that will change the name of the former Joe Robbie Stadium, former Pro Player Park, former Pro Player Stadium, former Dolphins Stadium, former Dolphin Stadium, former Land Shark Stadium, former Sun Life Stadium, and current New Miami Stadium to Hard Rock Stadium beginning immediately. The announcement ceremony, which took place at the stadium, was made in exactly the way you would expect Hard Rock to handle such an event: with plenty of music, memorabilia, and lights.
