Miami Dolphins Break Ground on $135 Million

State-of-the-Art Training Complex and Sports Performance Clinic

in Partnership with Baptist Health

The Miami Dolphins announced the extension of a multi-year partnership with
Baptist Health to construct a state-of-the-art training complex and sports performance
clinic in Miami Gardens, FL. The $135 million newly named Baptist Health Training
Complex will open in Spring 2021.
The partnership with Baptist Health is an extension of a decades-long relationship
with the Miami Dolphins, with the entity serving as the Official Sports Medicine
Provider as well as the Official Wellness Provider of the Miami Dolphins. Baptist
Health also is a proud partner of the Miami Dolphins Foundation working together
on a series of initiatives around the health and safety of South Florida students,
coaches and parents to grow youth football participation in South Florida.
"We're excited to bring the home of the Miami Dolphins players and coaches to
Miami Gardens and back to Miami-Dade County," Miami Dolphins Chief Executive
Officer Tom Garfinkel said. "The Baptist Health Training Complex will be a state-of-
the-art football facility with Baptist Health providing a world-class sports perform-
ance clinic available to the public so people can have access to the same care the play-
ers get."
The 217,200 square feet complex (125,000 sq. feet training facility and 92,200 sq.
feet indoor field) is more than 50,000 square feet larger than the team's current facil-
ity. The Baptist Health Training Complex will house an innovation hub for new tech- TrainingComplex - IMAGE CREDIT: MIAMI DOLPHINS
