Collecting OB memories

With the University of Miami playing its last season at the Orange Bowl, before heading to Dolphin Stadium next year, BankUnited is collecting OB memories.

The bank is holding a contest, inviting fans to upload photos of moments at the OB and essays about the 70-year-old stadium to its Web site, for a chance to win $1,937, in honor of 1937, the year the stadium opened. Fans have until Oct. 20 to enter.

On Oct. 26, five photos and five essays chosen by bank management will be posted on the bank’s Web site for the public to select its favorites in each category. The public voting will take place through Nov. 25, with winners announced on Nov. 26.

“The Orange Bowl is a Miami landmark and a legendary stadium for football fans across the country,” BankUnited’s Chairman and CEO Alfred R. Camner said in a statement. “Its departure from the Hurricanes game schedule and the city’s skyline does not mean it will leave the hearts of local fans. The BankUnited Orange Bowl Memories Contest will honor the stadium and enable local residents to share their sentiments.”

UM plays its last home game at the OB against Virginia on Nov. 10.
