DAVIE (CBSMiami) – The Miami Dolphins are only going to have one preseason game played at their newly renovated home stadium in 2016 instead of the traditional two.
On Wednesday the team announced that their preseason game against the Atlanta Falcons on August 25th has been moved from Miami Gardens to Orlando's Camping World Stadium, formerly known as the Citrus Bowl.
"The league asked us if we would move the game up there," Dolphins CEO Tom Garfinkel told CBS4 news partner the Miami Herald. "As part of the Pro Bowl announcement, we agreed to do it."
This was going to be Miami's first home preseason game of 2016 but instead that will take place the following week against the Tennessee Titans.
Dolphins season ticket holders will receive a full refund for the preseason game if they aren't able to make it up to Orlando.
The team says there are no construction-related delays and that the stadium is still on track to be ready for the fourth preseason game against Tennessee and the Miami Hurricanes' home opener on September 3rd against Florida A&M.
The Dolphins first regular season home game takes place in Week 3 of the NFL season on September 25th against the Cleveland Browns.
