The regular-season home opener for the Dolphins is Sept. 25.I dont know how many times I have to say it, but right now were currently on schedule, Garfinkel said June 2. Barring unforeseen circumstances, the stadium will be football ready. It would have been football ready by Game 3 of the preseason, and now it will be football ready by Game 4 of the preseason, which is before the [University of] Miami game.Dolphins vice president of stadium renovations Bill Senn said he expects the construction phase of the renovations to be essentially complete in early August.The Hurricanes first two games, scheduled for Sept. 3 and Sept. 10, are at New Miami Stadium, and rival Florida State is scheduled to play at Miami on Oct. 8.The stadium, which has had several names since opening in 1987, has presented issues for the Hurricanes since they left the Orange Bowl following the 2007 season.
