March 13, 200818 yr NBC6 just aired a story along with videos of the orange bowl demolition.Everything is nearly gone and going smoothly.
March 13, 200818 yr I want to see the video of it imploding! It won't be imploded due to it's location in a residential neighborhood. Instead it will be demolished the old fashioned way with a wreckball and bulldozers (think of Ebbets Field, but without the wrecking ball painted like a baseball)
March 13, 200818 yr *sobs* okay granted it was definitely time for the OB to be put out of it's misery. Still lots of memories there. Some of them are a little fuzzy actually.... apparently I drank a lot there too.
March 13, 200818 yr Author I want to see the video of it imploding! They were removing everything piece by piece.The seats will be recycled as sewage pipes and the stadium lights will be sent to another location. They did mention that the Marlins will be moving there.
March 13, 200818 yr thank you OB for memory all superbowl and collage games ,dolphins games soon you OB will be born again as NEW HOME OF MIAMI MARLINS
March 13, 200818 yr They should absolutely sell off the rights for people to take a few shots with a sledge hammer to start the demolition, give a plaque as a momento and a picture and t shirt, after the release of liability is signed. I think a lot of people would want to do that.

March 14, 200818 yr have they started the demo of the actual structure? or are they still working on clearing the site out?

March 14, 200818 yr I passed by yesterday and didn't see the big sign that says Orange Bowl, it's good to see that this is progressing!
March 14, 200818 yr I passed by yesterday and didn't see the big sign that says Orange Bowl, it's good to see that this is progressing! That's been gone for a while. It wasn't there when they had the farewell flag football game in January.
March 25, 200818 yr *sobs* okay granted it was definitely time for the OB to be put out of it's misery. Still lots of memories there. Some of them are a little fuzzy actually.... apparently I drank a lot there too. I'm with you Hotcorner. Maybe a lot of people here will cheer, but I have 40+ years of memories in that old lady. Its a sad day for me. :confused
April 3, 200818 yr I have to drive both ways on 836 everyday to go to school, so I get to see the progress of the OB Demolition. This past weekend, as some of you may have heard, some debris caught fire and Channel 10 once again aired their footage of the demolition from last month. You can see the video here: http://www.local10.com/news/15769781/detail.html If you go to Flickr.com, you can search "Orange Bowl Demolition" and there are a number of pictures from 3/9 and 3/23... They have knocked out the entire lower bowl along with a quarter of the south side (with half the press-box down too) and just yesterday or today began working on the north side... As excited as we may be for what's coming, it's still incredibly sad to see the OB go down. Anyone else passed by there recently? I can only update you from what I can see at 60mph on the 836 bridge...
April 4, 200818 yr it sad to see OB go down but we know new OB come up as home of marlins i hope one part ob will remain so we wont forget old ob gave us super bowl, dolphins 17-0 season and hurr best season, champship of collage football ob games
April 5, 200818 yr Thanks for the pictures. So many mixed emotions. Last time I was down in Miami (early March) I did a lap around the park taking photos. It's going to feel so damn weird driving on 836 and not seeing it there. But sooo dreamy (no homo) driving by and seeing Hanley's House going up.
