===Miami Dolphins Ring of Honor/Honor Roll===
The [[Miami Dolphins Honor Roll|Miami Dolphins Ring of Honor]], formerly known as the '''Honor Roll''', is a ring around the second tier of Hard Rock Stadium that honors former players, coaches, owners and contributors who have made significant contributions to the franchise throughout their history. Each of these players is honored with a placard on the facing of the upper level around Hard Rock Stadium including team founder-owner Joe Robbie. In place of a jersey number, Don Shula has the number 347, representing his record number of NFL coaching victories, 274 of them as Dolphins head coach. Dan Marino's name includes his career passing statistics of attempts (8,358), completions (4,967), passing yards (61,361), and touchdown passes (420). [[Pro Football Hall of Fame]] inductees are additionally denoted by a hall of fame logo next to their names.
