Also concerning is that the stadium will be located in a direct flight path at Miami International Airport. “How significant traffic around the airport would impact the accessibility of the airport and our economy,” says Sola. “The biggest intersection we have in Dade County, LeJeune Road going to the airport and 836 — it is a huge intersection,” adds Miami-Dade County Commissioner Joe Martinez. Currently, the county code does not permit variances in the area where this stadium is going in.
