Since I have never been to Miami let a lone a Dolphins game in Miami I was hoping to get some good advice on what to do.  We are flying down Friday morning out of Dayton, Ohio so we should be in town early afternoon.  We will have Friday evening, all day Saturday and all day Sunday since the game is a night game.

I am not sure where we are staying exactly because my uncle got the hotel room. All I know is it is on a beach somewhere.  I haven't got the details from him yet. 

What restaurants are worth checking out?  We don't want to go someplace that we could go to in Ohio.  Is Dan Marino's place pretty good?  What about Don Shula's? We thought they would be cool to check out.  Is there somewhere else that you would recommend over those?

What do you recommend for an activity to do on Saturday for a couple of tourists from Ohio?

We need to find a good Dolphins store.  You can't find anything in Ohio.  I have to buy everything online and pay for shipping!

What about game day...is there a lot to do around the stadium?  Are the lots open for tailgaiting all day for a Sunday night game?

I apologize if this is posted in the wrong place..This is only like my 2nd time posting here so I am not sure of the rules as to what is supposed to be posted under "FanShots"
