Green light for Miami Open

The Miami Open tournament is set to go ahead at the Hard Rock Stadium complex from March 22 to April 4, be with some modifications because of the COVID-19 pandemic.

All matches will be played on the outside courts and the Grandstand Court will serve as Centre Court for the event.

No decision has yet been made regarding fan attendance, especially for the outside courts.

The stadium currently has a 20 per cent capacity (between 12,500 to 14,000) for college football games.

The Miami Open normally draws crowds of 300,000-plus over its two weeks and in 2019, after it moved from Key Biscayne to Hard Rock Stadium, the total attendance was 388,734.

Roger Federer, Rafa Nadal, Serena and Venus Williams, Novak Djokovic, and Naomi Osaka are all expected to play the event.
