ALTITUDE VERDICT

Hard Rock Stadium sits 3m (10ft) above sea level, comfortably below the 1,500m mark where thin air begins to affect play. Altitude is not a factor here. Conditions at this venue come down to heat, humidity and the roof rather than elevation.

A shade canopy over the stands helps, but Miami’s heat and humidity are among the most testing of any venue.
