Back in the early 90s, this was my Friday night lights (well except during one game my sophomore year when we actually played at Dolphins Stadium..true story). This being my 25 year Reunion, a couple of old friends decided to check out The Soul Bowl (our alma mater vs our rival, aka the Hip Hop Superbowl) this year.
Part of the not five star rating is that we played kind of like the Dolphins. That is, we need a better QB and coaching. If this had been a John Hughes movie, some of us alumni would have either taken the field for the win or at least coached :)
Located in the Miami Dade College's North Campus, there is plenty of parking next to the stadium and well guarded by police. There are separate entrances for each of the schools. While there are no fixed concession stands, we did have a couple of food trucks selling some comfort food. I didn't catch the names but the chicken wings were crispy (with sweet BBQ sauce). The sweet iced tea, a southern delicacy, was actually a little too sweet for post Keto me.
There is a little nook under the bleachers for enterprising Romeos and Juliets ;) Ah, memories of my youth..
Bleachers are metal with no back rest. Some people were smart enough and brought their portable seats, which I'll do next alumni night. The score board is basic, showing only the score, quarter and number of time outs left. A couple more stats could be helpful. The stadium does have a press box, that they let the journalism students (school newspaper) do some of the announcements and play calling. read more
