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

that place is one of the biggest dumps now. i've got great memories of the place but that's what the forum should remain......................a memory

all the yellow stain on the walls from the preban of smoking in enclosed public facility days really sets the place off

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

They need to paint it redish orange again. When it went to that Great Western Blue, it jinxed the crap out of us lol
