Miami Hurricanes Leaving the Orange Bowl

Along with the surrounding neighborhood.
I am so glad the Orange Bowl and BCS title game are at Pro Player.

 

For now, anyway.

 

That's a great symbolic image of Miami football after watching their last game.

 

They were supposed to begin tearing it down after some high school all-star game in January.

 

I saw Pitt play there a few years ago. It was a night game and I found the neighborhood a little intimidating. I was fascinated with the number of entrepreneurs who marketed their front lawns as parking spaces.

To top it all off, our rental car died and we couldn't find a sole who spoke English.

But that's a south Florida thing more than anything!

 

Sack up.

I mean, for Christ sake, are you crazy?

The was no greater home-field advantage in football, with the fans shaking the building to its foundation.

 

I was at that game... the penultimate one I saw there.... McGahee had a great TD jaunt and Fitzgerald, as a freshman, was incredible.

 

Fabulous game....and very cool to be there as I hadn't ever been!

 

I can understand why outsiders would be intimidated by the neighborhood, but I felt safer there than just about any other part of Miami, especially on a gameday.

 

I always felt safe in that neighborhood. You know, I don't understand this kind of thinking. These would-be bogeymen can spot fear. Hold your fucking head up high, walk like a man (and don't make eye contact with anyone).

 

Sack up? I went to the dump over a 100 times and there were plenty of times when the home field advantage was about 35,000 people short. The way the stadium was built around the field enabled for an amazing advantage but the OB has been a piece of shit since 1980.

 

I saw three games there - one Dolphins - Chargers tilt - and two Orange Bowls (including Miami - Oklahoma for the national title in 1988).

I thought it was a great place to watch a game.
