Super Bowl LIV is on Sunday and thousands of visitors from all over the country are arriving in Miami to find out that the stadium is more than an hour away from their hotel.
Where the hell is Miami Gardens? asked Abigail Alan after learning it would take her at least an hour and forty-five minutes to get to Hard Rock Stadium with traffic. Are you kidding me? Why would the NFL host an event where the closest luxury accommodations are more than an hour away? she asked before inquiring as to whether there was a subway she could take to the stadium.
There arent any direct mass transit options, but if you want you could easily get to the stadium by taking three busses and walking half-a-mile, said the concierge. It will only take three and a half hours. Just make sure that you leave the game early enough to get back to your hotel by midnight since the busses dont run all night.
The Plantain asked the City of Miamis Super Bowl committee about whether they felt the type of issue Abigail and similarly situated human traffickers are facing highlights Miamis infrastructural deficiencies, but they were too busy trying to get a photo with Ray Lewis to answer.

OP
It seems like this might be satire but not far from the truth, in all probability.

Gonna take them 3-4 hours to get there on Super Bowl Sunday.😳 You couldn't pay me to do it.

On a normal day, its 30 minutes from the beach to the stadium.
Lack of transit is a legit complaint but there would be little reason to prioritize transit to a location that only gets used a dozen times a year.

20 feet from the bathroom. 25 feet to the fridge. 8 feet from my wood stove. My house cost lots more than a Super Bowl ticket, but it's well worth it.

(5,522 posts)7. At football games I usually get the tallest guy in world in front of me
and the heaviest guy in the same row and the loudest guy behind me. I'm ready for Sunday. My rocker is covered with a very comfortable NZ sheepskin and I have plenty of popcorn and rum and Coke. And I don't care who wins.
