The stadium has also played host to the National Football Leagues event of the year, the Super Bowl, on a number of occasions. The most recent came in 1999 when the stadium was the setting for John Elway’s last game when his Denver Broncos matched up against the Atlanta Falcons. It was a memorable game that ended with Elway hoisting the trophy for the second straight year and then retiring on top not long after that.

Pro Player Stadium is also the backdrop for the two time World Series champion Florida Marlins. The Marlins have been calling the stadium home since 1993 when they played their first games there. The World Series has been through the stadium twice and had seven games within it. It was also the setting of the Marlins World Series clinching game seven in 1997. In 2003 when the Marlins won their last World Series they played three of the six games at Pro Player Stadium against the New York Yankees before the Marlins won the deciding game in New York.
