1. Ongoing Major Renovation (2014–2025+)

- The total investment has been in the $350–400 million range , supplemented by public funds from Miami‑Dade tied to hosting large events
2. County Approval & Funding Structure
- The Miami‑Dade County Commission unanimously approved the plan, which includes performance-based tax-break incentives (e.g., $4M for hosting a Super Bowl, $3M for a national championship, and up to $7M annually in subsidies)
