Miami’s newly renovated stadium created curiosity, and the team’s performance at Hard Rock Stadium kept the fans coming back. Miami’s only losses at home this season have been to the Titans and the Patriots, which is an improvement on last year’s 3-4 record in Miami Gardens, and their 4-4 record in games played in South Florida in 2014. This season has been proof that if you win, fans will come.
