Take Note
Selected as the event’s host for its tropical climate, Miami’s Super Bowl weekend will most likely bring in relatively warm temperatures (75-82°F), with lower chances of rainfall, cool breezes and plentiful sunshine. Visitors are encouraged to bring lightweight, breathable clothing, as well as sunscreen, hats and umbrellas – just in case!
Miami and its surrounding cities are relatively safe for visitors to travel about. There are certain regions to avoid, but they are far from the usual tourist landmarks. Security will most certainly be heightened around the venue and in public areas during Super Bowl week.
