The Miami Dolphins announced Tuesday that Hard Rock Stadium will feature an outdoor drive-in theater inside the stadium with the ability to host events like commencement ceremonies, as well as an open-air theater.

The drive-in will be able to accommodate up to 230 cars, while the open-air theater, located in the complex plaza, can accommodate small groups.

"We've spent several weeks planning this to be able to provide people with a safe option to go out and enjoy movies, classic Dolphins content, concerts, and celebrate 2020 graduates," said Dolphins CEO Tom Garfinkel, according to ESPN's Cameron Wolfe. "It's a fundamental human need to physically experience and celebrate events and experiences together, and we're trying to provide options for everyone where they can be safely socially distant and socially present at the same time."

Hard Rock Stadium hosted its sixth Super Bowl in February.
