A year ago, it was the end of the line for the Miami Orange Bowl. It had been around for more than 70 years. The University of Miami Hurricanes played at the football stadium. So did the Miami Dolphins. And it’s where the third college bowl game was played - after the Rose and Sugar Bowls.
In the weeks before its demolition, the stadium was auctioned off piece by piece. Listen in on that auction day.
Special thanks to Trina Sargalski for her help with this piece.
