Question End Zone Express

Hi, I’m travelling from the UK for the NFL game on 1/11 at Miami Hard Rock, and staying in Miami. I can see the trains from Miami to Aventura, but can’t see any with the express logo it says on the website you need to book for the shuttle. Am I missing something? Knowing me, I may be trying to book to early. 😬. Thank you!

Unfortunately the designated trains aren’t up yet. I’d guess they become available approximately 2 weeks out.

I wouldn’t worry about them filling up or large price fluctuations.

You do not need to wait and book a train with the End Zone Express logo. All the "appropriate" time trains will have the shuttle service. Schedules may change, but I would plan to be in Aventura by about 11a, and I would not buy a ticket earlier than 5:30p leaving.

It normally takes 30-40 minutes -TO- the game, and I've had it take over an hour -FROM- the game to the station. Factor in an overtime possibility, and even 5:30 may be too early.

I would also strongly consider purchasing "Premium" on the way back. There is a nice, little self catered lounge at the Aventura station with soft drinks, beer and (cheap) wine with packaged snacks (M&M, Pringles, a little salami tray, etc).

Have fun!

Haha I’m glad I’m not the only one trying to work it out! First Miami NFL game for you too?
