⚠️ FIFA Club World Cup Traffic Traps + Smart Routes
If you’re heading to any of the FIFA Club World Cup matches at Hard Rock Stadium, here’s a heads-up to help you avoid traffic traps and bad drop-off points.
📅 Match days with heavy traffic:
- 6/14: Ahly (EGY) vs Miami
- 6/16: Boca Juniors vs SL Benfica
- 6/18: Real Madrid vs Al Hilal
- 6/20: Bayern Munich vs Boca Juniors
- 6/23: Miami vs Palmeiras
- 6/25: Mamelodi vs Fluminense
- 6/29 & 7/01: Round of 16 (TBD)
Traffic Tips:
- Turnpike exits at 199th and 203rd often close or reroute during events — exit early to avoid delays.
- NW 27th Avenue is a mess. Use NW 32nd Ave instead.
- Waze > Google Maps. Google often flags roads like the I-95 Express to US-441 (exit 12C) as closed, but locals still use it and it’s usually open for traffic management.
- Police zones slow everything down, especially near Gates 3 & 5 after the match.
Ride Share Pro Tip:
Don’t set your drop-off as “Hard Rock Stadium.”
If you do, you’ll likely be dropped on NW 37th Ave — a 2-mile walk from the actual entrance.
Instead, set your destination to one of these much closer landmarks:
✅ Walmart or Pollo Tropical lots at NW 199th & 27th Ave
That small change can save you serious time (and sweat).
If you’re going, enjoy the matches and stay cool. Also, miamiworldcupguide.com is a good resource for local tips and traffic updates.
Hope this helps!
