SOUTH FLORIDA SUPER BOWL HOST COMMITTEE UNVEILS
CHAMPIONS ARCH, BUILT BY GERDAU AMERISTEEL
FEATURING RECYCLED ORANGE BOWL AND SUN LIFE STADIUM STEEL
Tribute Includes Arch over famed Ocean Drive Along with Smaller Sculptures Inspired by Past Super Bowl Champions and This Year's Teams
MIAMI GARDENS, FL - The South Florida Super Bowl Host Committee'sChampions Arch, built by Gerdau Ameristeel is towering over Miami Beach's famed Ocean Drive, illuminating the sky during Super Bowl week in tribute to the region's rich tradition of hosting Super Bowls. Champions Arch, built by Gerdau Ameristeel, was created from recycled steel from the Orange Bowl and Sun Life Stadium and includes individual works of art celebrating past Super Bowl champions and this year's conference champions.
"When the Host Committee approached us about working together to build another steel structure like we did for last year's Super Bowl in Tampa, we were very excited," said Mario Longhi, CEO of Gerdau Ameristeel. "The Orange Bowl and Sun Life Stadium have hosted some of football's greatest moments, so it seemed fitting that we would recycle steel from both stadiums to create this magnificent tribute in Miami Beach."
Processed and reborn at Gerdau Ameristeel's steel mini-mills in Calvert City, Kentucky and Midlothian, Texas, the art-deco inspired arch stands 23-feet high over Ocean Drive, with massive steel beams intersecting at the center of the arch to showcase a 12-foot steel football illuminated in various NFL team colors by powerful LED lights.
"These sculptures are some of the most unique pieces of artwork I've ever seen," said Rodney Barreto, Chairman of the South Florida Super Bowl Host Committee. "It's amazing to think this is recycled steel from the Orange Bowl and Sun Life Stadium. Being that this is our record-breaking 10th Super Bowl here in South Florida, it's fantastic that our Super Bowl tradition is being recognized this way."
South Florida has been host to more Super Bowls than any other community. To celebrate our Super Bowl tradition, Gerdau Ameristeel fabricated one leg of the arch with recycled Orange Bowl steel and the other from Sun Life Stadium steel. The roman numerals etched in either leg symbolize every Super Bowl played in South Florida. The two intersecting arches create a visual and symbolic "passing of the ball" from one stadium to the other.

The New Orleans Saints are playing in their first-ever Super Bowl. Now only two teams in the NFL have never won an NFL championship game or played in a Super Bowl: the Houston Texans and the Jacksonville Jaguars.
Stay tuned for more fun facts leading up to Super Bowl XLIV on Sunday, February 7th, 2010!
First it was Dolphin Stadium, and then Land Shark Stadium, and then Dolphin Stadium again. Now, Super Bowl XLIV will be played at the Miami Dolphins' new home, Sun Life Stadium. Dolphins President Mike Dee announced the name change at an unveiling yesterday, where he was joined by Sun Life Financial executives and KC and the Sunshine Band.
Be sure to check out the pictures of the newest stadium changes in preparation for Pro Bowl 2010 next Sunday as well.
After hoisting the name Land Shark Stadium for the entirety of the 2009-10 NFL regular season, the Miami Dolphins have reached a deal with Sun Life Financial, Inc. to rename the stadium Sun Life Stadium. And on a beautiful cloudless sunny day, a press conference was held at the newly dubbed Sun Life Stadium capped off by a concert by KC and the Sunshine Band.
This is now the eighth name for the stadium that opened in 1987 as Joe Robbie Stadium. But as important as it was to get this deal done before the Pro Bowl and Super Bowl XLIV, Dolphins CEO Mike Dee pointed to the entire scope of the deal as it relates to the current economy as the real news:
Among the invited guests were students from Plantation-American Heritage School, Super Bowl Host Committee volunteers, marketing partners, corporate sponsors, season ticket holders and local dignitaries like the Mayor Shirley Gibson of Miami Gardens, Miami-Dade Commissioner Barbara Jordan, Jeannette Sparano, wife of Head Coach Tony Sparano, and Rachel Ireland, wife of General Manager Jeff Ireland."This is the first naming rights deal done of significance in the post-recession period and we weren't out in the marketplace very long. A bigger priority was finding the right partner, so if that hadn't happened we were prepared to move forward under an old name. I think from our point of view it wasn't when, it was who,"

MIAMI GARDENS, FL - The South Florida Super Bowl Host Committee is forming a sub-committee to look into stadium improvements to ensure that South Florida continues to be positioned to attract future Super Bowls, Pro Bowls, and other large scale sporting events. This group is comprised of a wide range of community leaders whose goal is to help keep the Super Bowl and Pro Bowl coming back to South Florida. The region has hosted 10 out of the last 44 Super Bowls.
South Florida Super Bowl Host Committee Chairman Rodney Barreto will lead the committee. This committee will meet on Thursday, January 7, 2010 at 12:30 pm at Dolphin Stadium (Gate G) to discuss the next steps related to stadium improvement. The Miami Dolphins will be asked to give an update on the stadium master planning process. Barreto, members of the Super Bowl Host Committee and Dolphins representatives met with Commissioner Goodell on Sunday to review the master plan and will give the sub-committee a report on that discussion.
On February 7, 2010, South Florida will host its record-breaking 10th Super Bowl and first Pro Bowl in 35 years. The country's largest one-day sporting event will pump hundreds of millions of dollars into South Florida's battered economy. With this year's Super Bowl, South Florida will have hosted two of the last four Super Bowls which is estimated to bring over $800 million dollars of economic impact into the community of Miami-Dade, Broward and Palm Beach Counties. South Florida lost its most recent bid for the 2013 Super Bowl last year. The NFL will decide the location of the 2014 Super Bowl in May.
