The Copa America final will be held on a new grass surface at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens, despite complaints about the grass at other venues during the group stage. CONMEBOL officials are confident the field will be in excellent condition for the final, emphasizing that the switch to new grass was planned beforehand due to a concert scheduled for July 6.
The Miami Grand Prix is rapidly becoming a fixture on the Formula 1 calendar, with a glamorous paddock, a musical lineup led by Ed Sheeran, and the possibility of a night race being considered. In its third year, the event seeks to emulate the success of the Las Vegas Grand Prix by providing an elevated fan experience. Despite some teething issues in its inaugural year, Miami Grand Prix president Tyler Epp believes his team is striving for excellence. The addition of a Sprint weekend this year is expected to generate even more excitement for fans.
Epp attributes the success of the event to the collaboration between the Miami organizing team and counterparts in Las Vegas and Austin. He emphasizes that the focus is not on rivalry but on collectively promoting the sport in the United States and engaging with fans. The unique paddock at the Miami Dolphins’ Hard Rock Stadium remains a highlight, and organizers have meticulous attention to detail in preparing the venue for attendees.
To enhance the fan experience further, the event boasts a star-studded musical lineup featuring Ed Sheeran. While the event remains focused on car racing, Epp recognizes the importance of providing entertainment for all types of fans. The hiring of former Haas team principal Guenther Steiner as an ambassador has also been a strategic move, bringing valuable industry insights to the Miami team. The 2024 Miami Grand Prix promises to be an unforgettable weekend of racing, music, and entertainment.
