A dozen giant street-art murals, some up to 150 feet wide, by 12 artists, will be on view at the Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens, Fla., when the venue opens to the public for the first regular home game of the Miami Dolphins’ season on Sunday.
The project, which has been kept under wraps by the artists and the team until now, was commissioned by the Dolphins’ owner, Stephen M. Ross, and Goldman Global Arts, a new company dedicated to major art projects. The stadium has been under renovations in recent months that cost an estimated $500 million and included rebranding the venue with its new name. (The venue has had several names over the years, and was until recently known as Sun Life Stadium.)
“We were renovating this stadium to be something more than just a football stadium,” Mr. Ross said in a phone interview, describing the project as part of a broader attempt to make “a major entertainment center.”
