The Orange Bowl Stadium
The Orange Bowl Stadium is a stadium in the City
of Miami, Florida, near downtown Miami, Florida. It is the home
stadium for the University of Miami Hurricanes football team.
It also hosted the Miami Dolphins until the opening of Dolphins
Stadium in 1987. The Orange Bowl college football bowl game
is named for the stadium, although it has been played at Dolphins
Stadium since 1996. The Minor League Baseball Miami Marlins
played certain games in the Orange Bowl from 1956 to 1960.
In addition to football, the stadium also hosts
concerts and other public events. The stadium has a regular
capacity of 74,177, and can seat up to 82,000 for concerts and
other events where additional seating can be placed on the playing
field. The stadium has an open east end that has a view of the
city skyline. The stadium was built by the City of Miami Public
Works Department. Construction began in 1936. The stadium opened
for Miami Hurricanes football on December 10, 1937. It opened
to the NFL on September 2, 1966. The stadium has also hosted
a multitude of events including concerts by The Eagles, The
Rolling Stones, Bruce Springsteen, Michael Jackson, Madonna,
The Marlboro Soccer Cup, an AC Milan Soccer Game, some 1996
Summer Olympics soccer games, several NFL Super Bowls, the former
North-South Shrine Game, and the namesake New Year's Day Orange
Bowl Classic as mentioned above.
With the announcement of the new Florida Marlins
Stadium, to be built on the east side of the Orange Bowl for
the 2008 baseball season, the City of Miami and University of
Miami have announced that a major renovation of the Orange Bowl
will occur which will lower the seating capacity, modernize
much of the stadium, and make it better-suited for both American
football and soccer.
