Miami Beach

End of an Era

It saw the 1972 Dolphins go undefeated, Don Shula and Dan Marino win countless games and even the University of Miami win a championship or two. Now, it’s time to say farewell to the orange stadium that for years was the only place in Miami to see a football game. On Saturday, the Orange Bowl hosted its last event ever. Some of the greats were signing autographs and the Miami Hurricanes played and won a flag football game against the Dolphins. The score was 65 to 51. Some fans that wanted to take home a piece of history began pulling off the seat covers or whatever else they could fit in their bags. Miami Police even confiscated some of the memorabilia. If you missed the fond farewell, check out this cool slideshow of all the festivities.
