Knew about this a few days after the Finals, but didn't post it because it wasn't really set in stone yet. But DEEP3 will be in the old house cuttin up!

Damn this is a cool idea! Being a Miami fan I always wished the Dolphins would play a preseason game in the Orange Bowl. Too late now as it's been torn down :(

I heard that the old forum was being used as a church. Bad area and getting worse way out there.
