I've heard they'll be ditching the flames for a more traditional fire extinguisher smoke entrance this year.
Two World Series Championships there. No football Championships. Hum, maybe they should have left the Marlins there and move the Fins back to the OB and build new stadium there for them and Canes.

The main problem now is nothing really memorable has happened there. There hasn't been a signature win there. Everything we remember about Miami being great happened in the Orange Bowl.

Or...maybe the Dolphins should have played better.
OP having a broken clock moment. He's finally right. One of the best stadiums in college football. Anyone still longing for the OB wears beige no-brand sneakers.
Old school stadiums do not have the feature and facilities required to attract teams and events required for sporting venues to profit. As much as I cherish my memories in the venerable former Orange Bowl, they are just that, memories like my youth that I can't regain. The Rock will be embraced as the finest college game venue once we start putting foot in *** again.

That stadium was built as an act of pride by Joe Robbie, rip. He also sunk a proposal to make Miami the permanent site for the Super Bowl. Maybe it is that vengeful hubris that just haunts the stadium. Although, the Fins were already showing signs of loser before the left the OB. It sure got worse after the move.
Maybe it is just hard to get over a lifetime of seeing great games in the OB that were not limited to just the Canes and Fins. Although, The Perfect Season and the Decades of Dominance are more than enough all by themselves. That said, all will be fine if the Cane can win one title.

It was built because the Joe Robbie refused to play ball with the corrupt idiots running the City of Miami. They didn't want to fix up the OB, and basically dared him to build his own facility. He did that, and invented a creative way of financing sports facilities in the process. That said, buildings don't win games, TEAMS DO. The 'Canes were mediocre in the OB for decades before the run started, and then when probation hit, was mediocre again. Yes, there were tons of great memories in that building, but time waits for no one, and the OB was a building that had outlived its usefulness. The City of Miami wasn't interested in assisting the University in renovating it, and once Loria greased the right palms, it was a done deal.
Kind of sad that high schools have IPF's, and Miami is just starting their's.
