Hard Rock Stadium is set to host Formula One's Miami Grand Prix on May 3, the culmination of a week of events with world's premier open-wheel, single-seat racing league. The facility first hosted the event in 2022.
The world's No. 1 tennis players, Jannik Sinner and Aryna Sabalenka, won this year's Miami Open in March. The tournament has been hosted in Miami Gardens since 2019.
Expansion in open-wheel racing and tennis have undoubtedly been financial successes for Ross and Hard Rock Stadium.

In March, Ross told the South Florida Sun-Sentinel's Dave Hyde, “We get more attendance for F1 races for three days than the entire Dolphins season tickets that we sold."
Despite the "Super Bowl" consequences of Ross' priority shift, the billionaire owner has not given up on luring the NFL's biggest game back to Miami.
“We are looking at how to make improvements,” Ross said at the Brickell conference. “I want to make the stadium always feel like a new stadium, we are looking at what the next phase will be and making the fan experience that much better.”
