Miami Hurricanes Orange Bowl Renovation

Some of us want the University & the City of Miami to work out the renovation deal to stay in the Orange Bowl. It really hurts the program to play 30 miles away with no college atmosphere. Dolphin stadium is a baseball field complete with dirt infield that is used by the Marlins & Dolphins. It isn't a place the University of Miami can call Home. If you want to help, go to
savetheorangebowl.com and sign the petition.

Playing on dirt the first half of the season has been bad. The good news is that this week are the final games for the Florida Marlins at this stadium. Next year they play in their new ballpark as the Miami Marlins. Still, Dolphin stadium is a poor excuse for a football stadium.

hello guys,..long time college fan,..but i cant recall what the final decision was,..are they gonna build a new one or not?

[DedicatedCane]

It's been a sad time and a lot had to do with local politics. City would not renovate wit dollars already voted for, then Dolphin owner sold the AD to move to their place, then City voted to build Marlins a place where the Orange Bowl was. Seeing the demolition was incredibly sad. Dolphin stadium has ammenities, but sucks as a football stadium, especially one that is only ours for a few hours on game day.

how are the dolphin stadium games?

are they packed at least? im applying to miami

[DedicatedCane]

It will take some time. It is a major change. The new athletic director is very much in tune to hearing comments and looking for ways to improve the experience. Getting back to our winning ways will go a long way. Good luck on your application.

does any of you Hurrican fans know why the Orange Bowl stadium runs from East to West? If u do plz send a messege to me on youtube really soon! plz its for my Homework!!!!

[DedicatedCane]

That is the way the winds blow in South Florida. They also wanted to be able to see downtown through the endzone. As the stadium expanded over the years, it created a great view.

SORRY HOMEBOY A LITTLE LATE.

[donutcookiepie]

Yes! I agree! The Canes should absolutely stay at the OB as long as humanly possible! I think Shalala should be IMPEACHED!!!! Who's with me???!!!!

[JazzKeyboardist1]

when the dolphins play here i guess they put in grass, how embarrASSing to play on dirt, could not that Ponzi booster guy at least pay for some plugs?

[manganzon23]

[getyoasshome]

@flaccojoe the LA coliseum will never leave it was part of the olympics...USC may move but the coliseum is there to stay.

[sweatypanda00199]

man the OB was the shit......playing at dolphin stadium .....how can u call it a home if ur logo aint at midfield

[flaccojoe]

which is bullshit cus wat hav the marlins ever done for miami??? they dont even call themselves the miami marlins!! wtf!?!?! the canes r miami athletics

[getyoasshome]

dont forget they close down the endzone with all the logos in it. that stadium can actually hold over 100,000 people but they close part of it down. they built the marlins stadium where the OB used to be which is a shame.

[flaccojoe]

yes they do befor pete came u could sit anywhere in th coleseum now its hard to even get an upper deck seat. now tht lane kiffins in LA i think ur right lol. if they tear down the coleiseum then im throwin a fit, i was alredy pissd they tore the OB down

[GMRadio3]

@DedicatedCane. Amen. It could have been renovated like they did Soldier Field in Chicago. I miss The Old Horseshoe in Little Havana as Chris Fowler used to say.
