It all started on September 2, 1966 when the Miami Dolphins played their very first game ever against the Oakland Raiders in front of 26,776 fans at the Orange Bowl. But the narrative goes beyond wins and losses. It's woven with the threads of iconic figures who donned the aqua and orange, forever etching their names in team history. We'll journey through the legendary career of Bob Griese, the calm and collected quarterback who orchestrated the perfect season; Larry Csonka, the powerful fullback who embodied the team's smash-mouth offense; and the flamboyant Dan Marino, whose cannon arm and infectious passion redefined quarterback play.
We'll explore the rivalries that fueled their fire, from the epic clashes with the Oakland Raiders to the modern-day battles with the New England Patriots. We'll delve into the passionate fan base known as the "Dolfanatics," whose unwavering support and signature "fins up" gesture echo through Hard Rock Stadium.
