Miami: A Sports Capital
The allure of Miami extends far beyond its sandy beaches and vibrant nightlife. The city is a cauldron of sporting passion. From the NFL's Miami Dolphins, whose iconic Hard Rock Stadium lies adjacent to the F1 track, to the NBA's Miami Heat and MLB's Miami Marlins. Soccer fans cheer for Inter Miami, partly owned by football icon David Beckham, and the NHL's Florida Panthers find their home just a stone's throw away in Sunrise.
The Miami Open, a tennis tournament eclipsed only by the Grand Slams in prestige, draws crowds at the Hard Rock tennis centre. The Dolphins' stadium has had the honor of hosting the Super Bowl, the NFL's zenith.
Motorsport has always found a home in Miami. Nascar races light up the Homestead-Miami Speedway, and in the olden days, Indycar races brought thrill-seekers to the city's streets.
With the introduction of the Miami Grand Prix, Formula One has not just entered a city; it has become part of an illustrious sporting legacy, extending the proud tradition of Miami as a global sporting hub.
