Since December 10, 1937 the Orange Bowl has been the home of the greatest team in college football history: the five-time national champion Miami Hurricanes.
Recently, rumors have been circulating that the city of Miami is going to refuse to renovate the OB in order to force the Hurricanes to basically move to Broward to Dolphin Stadium, so that they can demolish the OB and build a new stadium for the Marlins!
This blasphemy cannot stand. The Orange Bowl is hallowed ground. Hundreds of thousands of Hurricanes fans have grown up in those stands. For generations we have flocked there on Saturdays to watch men become gods. Men like Lamar Thomas, Sean Taylor, Jim Kelly, Santana Moss, Edgerrin James, Dan Morgan, Randall Hill, Jeremy Shocky, Ken Dorsey, Bennie Blades, Andre Johnson, Michael Irvin, Clinton Portis, Gino Torreta, Vince Wilfork, Mel Bratton, Ed Reed, Reggie Wayne, Warren Sapp, Brett Perriman, Jerome Brown, Ray Lewis, Frank Gore, Vinny Testaverde, and Bernie Kosar, to name a few. The grass on that field is forever stained by the blood, sweat, and tears of these warriors. It should be cherished and preserved, not torn up and discarded at the whim of a few greedy and corrupt politicians.
To all of you who have cried and cheered on those faded orange benches. To all of you who have closed your eyes or looked to God as another FSU kicker lined up for the final field goal. To all of you who still get goosebumps when you see the players charge out of the fog. To all of you who have found heaven in one of those 74,476 seats. I ask that you raise your voices with me and give back to the place that has given you so much. Write to your Mayor, Congressman, Representative, or the Governor. Please, do whatever you can to SAVE THE ORANGE BOWL!!!
