1. Take the Metro rail to the bus station , bus takes you to the OB.

2. Walk over to Lot E4

3. Find your friends and get hammered. One of your friend most likely will get busted by the cops for underage drinking and get a ticket. At this point some of you may have paid the family next door to pee in their bathroom and shove some drugs up your nose.

4. Try to sneak in to the Bacardi Tent with fake printed tickets. Once in eat as much as you can, drink loads of Vodka Redbulls. Put some Vodka Tonics outside the fence so your friends can drink too.

5. Walk in to the Orange Bowl and first thing get your drinking bracelet.

6. get your beer or 2 beer and walk over to your seat or a general seating are and wing it

7. as you are done with your first beer and about to start on the second

this song comes on

- Cat on a stick
- No blockie parking
- Walking a half mile to the stadium and loving every minute of it.
- Shenanigans in the Wez!
- Watching an *** whoopin with a sea breeze and the skyline back drop.

****, I miss watching FSU fans getting tossed down steps in the West End Zone. I miss the Arepas. I miss the old Nicaraguans selling pinchos after the game across the street. I miss my dad sneaking me beers b/c cops were never around.

I'd take the overflowing urinals any day just to have that place back.

I can't agree with you on the troughs.
Hated standing ankle deep in **** wearing flip flops.

Other than that I miss everything. I loved getting off the metro rail and munching on dog kebobs all the way to and from the stadium.
The ear shattering noise when it was rocking and everyone was stomping their feet. The fact that the other teams seriously looked frightened, not just by the team, but by the crowd screaming at them in multiple languages.

The thing I loved the most: we were practically unbeatable in The Orange Bowl.

Pee trough was about the only thing I don't miss about the OB.

I remember I went to the '94 game vs Washington and a Huskie fan walks into the bathroom, sees a bunch of guys peeing in the trough, screams "F*ck that ****!!" and walks right back out. Everyone in the bathroom just busted out laughing. One drunk *** Cane fan then yells out 'Wait, you forgot your tea and crumpets!!' lol, Best part of an otherwise ****ty *** day

All part of the character that made that old place unique.

In hindsight, the troughs weren't horrible. They were bad, but what made it horrible was that everyone seemed to miss the trough.
Almost like it was a game and you lost if even one drop didn't hit the floor.
 
The stench of puke wafting through the air as soon as we entered the building. It was unmistakable on a 97 degree day!
 
I miss every single part of that place. What I would give to have the UF game this year in that place. I miss that place for every game but the big ones especially. The big games in that place had an indescribable feel and atmosphere, a feeling that I will probably never feel again and will eventually have the impossible task of trying to articulate to my future children and grandchildren who will undoubtlebly be Canes.

Every time I watch this I well up in tears and reminisce about all the moments I had the privilege to watch in the flesh at the OB with all her majesty.
If you don't get a little moist in the eye while watching this, you just don't get it.

I loved our seats in the OB, first row right the miami part of "the city of miami welcomes you to the orange bowl".

The sign added to the decibels for tough games too.

Sign. Nostalgia.
 
For some reason man the Coca Cola in that place tasted better than any coca cola I've ever had since...

Also, greatest Chicken finger and French fly basket in the world
 
....and so many of you were cheering the move to SunLife because of the improved bathrooms and the Jumbotron.

Idiots.

Norman Braman was the only guy, within earshot of the planet earth, with a clue - as this fiasco was unfolding.
