Miami-based Pollo Tropical has become the official chicken of the Miami Dolphins thanks to a three-year agreement that includes in-game, in-market and community service events starting with the upcoming NFL season.

Pollo Tropical and the Dolphins have loyal fanbases in the South Florida community and now Dolphins fans will have the opportunity to interact with Pollo Tropical in and out of the stadium. In addition to partnering on local community activations, Pollo will hype up fans at every home game with a new noisemeter and a takeover of Section 305, said Richard Stockinger, president and CEO of Fiesta Restaurant Group, parent company of Pollo Tropical.

"When two homegrown brands like Pollo Tropical and the Miami Dolphins join forces, it gives us the opportunity to bring fans of both brands unique experiences during Dolphins games and all around South Florida. We're excited to bring Dolfans some new things to cheer about and celebrate our community together in a way only we can," Stockinger said in a company press release.

"We are thrilled to join Pollo Tropical on an integrated partnership that connects our fanbases in new and exciting ways, " Steve Mullins, VP of the Miami Dolphins, said in the release. "We look forward to working together to provide great experiences at Hard Rock Stadium and throughout the South Florida community."

The partnership is set to kick off Aug. 27, where over 3,000 fans will get to see the Miami Dolphins in action on their last day of training camp.

Pollo Operations, founded in 1988, has over 140 locations throughout Florida, plus five licensed restaurants on college campuses and one licensed location in a hospital, and franchised locations throughout the Caribbean, Central America, South America and Puerto Rico.
