The stadium was renamed the Orange Bowl in 1959, aligning with the prestigious college football bowl game held there annually. With a seating capacity that eventually reached over 80,000, the Orange Bowl hosted a variety of major sporting events, including college football games, Super Bowls, and professional football contests.One of the most notable tenants of the Orange Bowl was the Miami Dolphins of the National Football League (NFL). The Dolphins played their home games at the Orange Bowl from their inception in 1966 until 1986. During this period, the stadium witnessed numerous memorable moments, including the Dolphins' historic 1972 season, when they completed the only perfect season in NFL history by winning all their games, culminating in a Super Bowl victory. Legendary players like quarterback Bob Griese and head coach Don Shula, who became the winningest coach in NFL history, were central figures during the Dolphins' tenure at the Orange Bowl.The Orange Bowl also hosted five Super Bowl games, with the first one being Super Bowl II in 1968 and the last one, Super Bowl XIII, in 1979. These games further cemented the stadium's place in football lore, witnessing some of the most iconic moments and players in NFL history.In addition to professional football, the Orange Bowl was a prominent venue for college football. The annual Orange Bowl game, which began in 1935, featured numerous legendary college teams and players. The stadium also hosted the University of Miami Hurricanes, who achieved significant success during the 1980s and early 1990s, winning several national championships.
