How to get to the Hard Rock Stadium for Copa América
Driving straight to the stadium is an option (we’ll get to parking in a sec). But if you prefer to take a rideshare service, the designated pick-up and drop-off area is Lot 42 on NW 27th Ave. It’s south of Walmart and estimated to be a walk time of 20 minutes to and from the stadium.
If you’re coming from elsewhere in Florida, Aventura Brightline will also be offering complimentary shuttles to take you directly to the stadium. Shuttles will depart 10 minutes after every train arrival and return shuttles leave one hour before trains depart. To find the shuttles back to the station, make your way to the South of the stadium on 199th St.

If you choose to reserve parking on match day, fees are $60 with credit card or $55 SunPass Plus. Bus parking is $120.
Who will perform at the Copa América closing ceremony?
It’s none other than the Colombian icon herself — Shakira! She confirmed her participation in the closing ceremony with a social media post that read: “Save the date! ⚽️ July 14, 2024 🏟️ Hard Rock Stadium 📍Miami, FL”. In fact, her song “Puntería” has been designated the official song for this year’s tournament, so it’s safe to say you’ll get to hear it live!
