The NFL season is so close!
For Miami Dolphins fans, the season won't open at home at Hard Rock Stadium. Instead, if you want to catch the Dolphins, you're going to need to travel for the first two games of the season.
The Dolphins begin the preseason on Friday, Aug. 14, but the team opens the regular season on the road against the Las Vegas Raiders at Allegiant Stadium in September. It's the start of a new era for Miami fans, who will see the team under new head coach Jeff Hafley and leadership of quarterback Malik Willis.
