Ft. Lauderdale is closer and less congested.
Cool! Thanks!

I think it could be added on July 14.OK no Foxboro. But this will be an amazing week.
For those coming out of state which airport are you thinking of flying into? Considering Ft Lauderdale since Southwest flies into there.
If you're going to book hotels better do it before the hotels get wind of the concert date

Yeah, can't figure out where though.
Well if you enjoy clubbing and hip hop and really weird art performers then I suppose it's fun. Generally the restaurants are pricey and I'm sure the hotels are the same way. The beach is always packed on the weekends, but you can find nicer beaches a bit up north from South Beach, and not as overrun with summer vacation teens.
South Beach is Miami's only draw, so I can't knock it too much, but I personally don't like going out there unless it's for something specific.
Aventura is a nice area about 15 mins from the stadium and is close to the beach Residence Inn Marriott is like 107/nt there's Trump hotel on the beach in Sunny Isles for like 191/nt. Courtyard Marriott is about 127/nt. The Doubletree Sunny Isles Beach is 179/nt for oceanview (this is what they consider Miami Beach North...not as "hip" as SouthBeach but a lot closer to the stadium and less congestion). South Beach is about an 8 mile drive down Collins Ave. along the ocean if you want to go out at night.
^ Yikes. Glad I have another presale code.
Haha thanks. I'll probably be skipping the clubbing on this trip and I hate crowded beaches. I'm currently planning my entire trip around an awesome sounding vegetarian restaurant on N.E. 123 Street.
Brownsville, Downtown at night is not a good idea, North Miami Beach (west of US-1), Ft. Lauderdale in general (but I'm not too familiar with the nice parts of Ft. Lauderdale. Riverwalk is supposedly nice.), Allapattah, Overtown, Hialeah, Little Haiti/Havana. The last three are stomachable, but I would not recommend staying there. I wouldn't recommend any hotels/motels on 8th street either as you're more likely to be charged an hourly rate.
As far as safe areas (that also have touristic value) just stick to Miami Beach, Bal Harbor, Brickell, Coconut Grove (but be careful as there is a very tough neighborhood about a block away from the Grove. It was infamous in the '90s for tourists being assaulted/murdered. It's no longer like that, but I personally would not get down from my car in that area!), Coral Gables/Miracle Mile area, and Key Biscayne.
Be forewarned: Our public transportation is atrocious and the taxis are more expensive than LA. You're better off renting a car if you can afford it. The Metrorail pretty much takes you nowhere and is not a good idea at night either.
Edit - Miami travel guide - Wikitravel is a good resource in general for travel to all sorts of places. I read the Miami article a while back and it was pretty thorough and accurate. Give that a shot.
I think it could be added on July 14.
I tried to make reservations at the Hard Rock, but their reservations system is only set up until June 30th, so it's still too early
