New Stadium
All of the exterior stadium gates have been re-labeled in an effort to make the way-finding more intuitive. Previously, gates were labeled as A-H.  We have re-named the gates based on direction. As an example, what was formerly Gate G is now the South Gate and the former Gate C is now the North Gate.

Throughout 2015 Life in Color has been on a global paint crusade with their “Big Bang The
Creation of Color” world tour with stops including Hong Kong, Istanbul, Johannesburg, Lima, Colombia, Honduras and 130 other cities around the world. In 2015 Life In Color became EDM’s most international brand, throwing events in every continent, and 63 countries. Life In Color also kicked off a weekly residency in Ibiza, at the world’s largest club Privilege, featuring DJs including Laidback Luke, Chuckie, Headhunterz and Fedde Le Grand.
Touring with the “Paint Factory” stage that was debuted at last year’s LIC Miami festival, the Big Bang tour has aimed to answer the age old question: How did color come to be? It’s an
ambitious pursuit that spanned all of 2015 and involved combing the country for the most
rambunctious paint partiers in the universe, with help along the way from some of dance music’s most colorful characters. DJs featured on the tour include Diplo, Showtek, TJR and Bro Safari.
Life in Color fans will be able to register on the website below to get first shot at securing their tickets to LIC Miami on July 15th with an exclusive presale. Early Bird tickets will then go onsale to the general public on July 16th. Keep your eyes out for more news on the festival, it will be the biggest one yet!

For more info, please visit LICMAMI.com.

New features will include:

• Brand new seats in the entire stadium
• Completely renovated concourses and concessions,

• Several brand new/unique seating & club options for fans, businesses and families

The stadium will be modernized in two phases, in a manner that will not impact any football games. Many of the renovations will be done for the 2015 season and the remainder will be completed by the 2016 season.  While in-stadium events will not take place during the renovation period, events will be held on stadium grounds year-round.
