It also will be the site for WrestleMania XXVIII, the flagship event of the WWE. The stadium served as host for the second round of the 2009 World Baseball Classic, and hosted the 2010 Pro Bowl.

It was a bit work, but I made it^^ Feel free to use it especially for your Wrestlemania Stages. The kind of place that earns a rugged nickname that rolls right off the tongue, like The Rock.Here is a detailed version of the Sun Life Stadium. The NFL Pro Bowl was held at Tampa Stadium on January 29, 1978. And if they’re wildly happy, as they have been lately with the Hurricanes, Hard Rock Stadium will continue to be a wild and happy place. The team played its initial season at the stadium in 1997, becoming the stadiums second. What counts for personality down there, however, will always be the personality of the spectators themselves. It’s far from perfect, no matter how many expensive improvements are made, and there always will be a little too antiseptic to satisfy some rough and ready football fans. The new building that Joe Robbie built isn’t so new anymore after three decades of sports events and concerts and such. That’s for a noon start, the exact opposite of those late-night parties of the last two weeks, and it’s against an opponent that drew just 40,963 customers the last time these two teams met at Hard Rock. The 9-0 Hurricanes have proven it wrong and you can tell it because there reportedly will be something close to a sellout for Saturday’s home game with Virginia. It’s nostalgia, a magnet to the past, and that’s understandable.ĭon’t imagine, though, that Hard Rock is actually soft, that opponents will never worry about coming there because the place is just too corporate. The answer from some will always be yes, so sweet was the big-game sound of the Hurricanes and the Super Bowl Dolphins back there. Winning big is the secret to every stadium’s charm, and the Hurricanes are proving it again with the rock-show atmosphere of their recent home wins over Virginia Tech and Notre Dame.Īsk anybody who attended the Notre Dame game last Saturday night if the stadium experience felt flat to them.Īsk if they would like to return to the Orange Bowl days, with backless benches for sitting and backyards for parking. Couldn’t hear yourself think in there, as I recall. The Marlins kept looking to get out, too, reasoning that baseball wasn’t meant for so big a barn and that’s what explained the team’s perennially poor attendance.įunny, though, how sellout crowds of 67,000-plus filled the facility, then known as Pro Player Stadium, for the 1997 World Series, and again when the Marlins won it all in 2003. Couldn’t have been Randy Shannon and Al Golden. Must have been the building to blame for all those lackluster seasons.

It was the same when the Miami Hurricanes showed up in 2008. Pretty and clean, sure, but where was the grit?

The noise leaked out before anyone had a chance to feel it. The seats were too far away from the action. When the Miami Dolphins didn’t get much going after moving there from the Orange Bowl, everyone agreed that the new facility had no soul. Turns out there never really was anything all that wrong with Hard Rock Stadium, a building that has worn many other names since its opening 30 years ago.
