"We Don't Rebuild,We Reload!" - A Miami Hurricanes Dynasty

[LatinG187]

INTRODUCTION



Welcome to LatinG's brand new Miami Hurricane dynasty.For the second straight year LatinG has decided to roll with his favorite team,The U.Previous readers can expect some of the same things from last year's dynasty as well as a few new things to makes it more fun and interesting.People new to my dynasty should get ready for some great games and quality articles along with some cool pictures.As always I encourage everyone to not only follow but to participate by asking questions bout whatever,games,players on the team or on other teams.I'd also like to hear your opinions on how you think i'm doing.

The beginning of the year started out with some big news as Larry Coker announced his retirement form coaching and the coach hired would be Albert Serrano.This will be Serrano's first coaching job of any kind at the collegiate level.Will he be able to continue the success he had had at high school winning 2 state championships with one of the players from that team,defensive tackle Hector Serrano now playing for the University of Miami?The expectations are going to be high for this young coach as they always are at Miami.If he can come through on his word and deliver multiple National Championships then he will be a hero in the city of Miami as well as his cousin Hector who petioned very heavily for Albert but if this team does make any steps forward,Miami fans will waste no time in letting their feelings be heard.It's going to be a very interesting story to follow,make sure to check in often as we will have updates as the year goes on.

Now that we got that out of the way...Let's Get Ready For Some Football!!It's All About The U Baby!

ORANGE BOWL

Dedicated: December 10, 1937
Capacity: 74,476
Surface: Prescription Athletic Turf
Field: runs East (open end) to West

History: The City of Miami, with a then population of 150,000, entered into a contract on July 30, 1936 for the building of a football stadium. The stadium was completed in mid-1937 at a total cost of $340,000. The stadium initially was named after one of Miami's oldest pioneers, Roddy Burdine, before becoming Orange Bowl Stadium in 1959.

Dedication: December 10, 1937, during the Miami-Georgia football game. The Hurricanes lost, 26-0. The seating capacity was 22,000.

Surface: Prescription Athletic Turf (Natural Grass) Transition from artificial was made in 1977.

Lighting: Regular metal halide.

Press Box: The fifth floor level can accommodate 92 writers plus the scoreboard, public address and statistics crews. Live television and radio broadcast crews are assigned to the third floor. Television and photo news crews have access to the roof of the press box, which is also used for overflow media seating. The fourth and sixth floors are VIP seating and hospitality areas. Use the South Central Plaza, for press will call and entrance to the press box.

Expansion: The original stadium, with a seating capacity of 23,330, soon outgrew itself and in 1944 stands were added to the endzones bring capacity to 35,030. In 1947 a second expansion added an additional 24,548 seats. Following expansions in 1950 (4,974 seats), '53 (2,577) and '55 (9,157) double-decking and construction of the wings were completed. The west end zone was filled in and both the upper and lower deck seats were added, raising capacity to 80,010. The east end zone seats were removed in 1977, reducing the capacity to 75,500. Expansion of the VIP seating and the addition of contour seats in the early 1990s reduced the capacity to 74,712. In 1994, completion of construction designed to improve handicap seating further reduced capacity. Renovations in 1996 to accommodate Olympic soccer reduced capacity to 72,319.

Home to Big Games:
The Orange Bowl has hosted five Super Bowls, the most recent on January 21, 1979, when the Pittsburgh Steelers defeated the Dallas Cowboys, 35-31, in Super Bowl XIII. Since 1970, when the collegiate national champion was first selected after the completion of the bowl games, the Orange Bowl Classic has hosted 11 games that decided the national title. Until the 1996 season when the OBC moved to Pro Player Stadium, Orange Bowl Stadium hosted eight of the last 13 national championship games, including University of Miami titles in 1983, 1987, and 1991.

Largest All-Time Home Crowd: The largest crowd to witness any event in the Orange Bowl was in 1995 when 81,753 watched Nebraska defeat Miami, 24-17, in the Orange Bowl Classic. Temporary bleachers were added to the east end zone to accommodate the overflow. The largest crowd for a professional football game in the Orange Bowl was 80,187 on January 18, 1976, to see the Pittsburgh Steelers defeat the Dallas Cowboys, 21-17, in Super Bowl X.
