Miami sports fans, being fortunate enough to be one of twelve cities to have teams in all four major sports, have witnessed epic triumphs and aching failures. With the Heat dynasty coming to an end, it is the Dolphin’s time to shine in South Florida. The Miami Dolphins are predicted, given the highly covenanted talent the organization acquired during the off-season, to be a top of the playoff contention list in the AFC East. Thus, the Dolphins present a superlative venture for companies looking to merge into sports sponsorship.
The very essence of how football is played in the NFL is changing; fans know it, coaches and players know it, and the front office knows it. The Dolphin’s organization, one of the few teams taking notice of the alteration, has spared no expense in forming the lethal squad that will step onto the field come opening day. Despite consistently being a top-tier defense, the Dolphins signed arguably the most effective defensive tackle in the game, Ndamukong Suh. Having Defensive end Pro-bowlers Cameron Wake and Olivier Vernon on both sides of line and Suh charging up the middle, there isn’t an offense in the NFL that takes lightly to such a dominate threat. While defense wins game, an exciting offense can be more determinative of success when it comes to ticket sales.
The Dolphins just signed franchise quarterback, Ryan Tannehill, to a six year- 96 million-dollar deal. Tannehill himself is both a threat on the ground and through the air; the problem last season was having a franchise quarterback with only one deep threat receiver in his arsenal. Now that Tannehill has first-rounder DeVante Parker, Super Bowl winner Greg Jennings, and pro-bowl tight-end Jordan Cameron as potential threats, the offense will be able to balance the field giving Tannehill more time to find open receivers or tuck the ball and run. An exciting offense plus a malicious defense equals filled seats and in effect heightened exposure to sponsors.
The Dolphins attract a very diverse demographic; first there are your born and raised Miami fans, next you have your Northerners who relocate to South Florida for three to four months of the year, all of which, are during the NFL season, and finally you have the other. The final sect of Dolphin fandom, the other, includes people visiting Dolphin’s games while visiting the city, brining clients for work-related purposes, or rooting for the rival team. All three sub-sects will expand enormously pending the season predicted by sports analysts and NFL fans alike. Sponsorship Opportunities for Miami Dolphins are available on www.OpenSponsorship.com.
