Several hundred members of the media and V.I.P. guests gathered at Dolphin Stadium this morning for a special press conference with Jimmy Buffet and Dolphins owner Stephen Ross. The duo announced that Dolphin Stadium—home of the Miami Dolphins, Florida Marlins, and Miami Hurricanes—has officially been renamed Landshark Stadium. The name recognizes the facility’s new partnership with Buffet’s Margaritaville enterprise, which produces Landshark Lager with partner Anheuser-Busch.
“Jimmy Buffet is known and loved worldwide for his music and his portrayal of the tropical lifestyle that is synonymous with South Florida, and we are honored to have him bring his unique culture to our organization, “ Ross said.
Buffet performed a three-song set, which concluded with a new version of his song "Fins" with the lyrics changed to appeal to South Florida and Dolphin fans, before turning the stage back over to Ross for the official unveiling of the stadium's new logo.
The new name is the first of many projects the stadium will be introducing in the coming months, according to the press release handed out on-site.
