I was there for the 2025 Orange Bowl...it is pretty bad....

...the seats are old fashioned hard plastic, too close together, and there was an injured pigeon beneath our seats. That's an anecdotal incident, however I mention it because there are lots of pigeons and bird droppings as they fly around inside the top of the stadium whose roof lets them in when it is open - and then they stay.. Not a good view of the game even from the 40 yd line unless you are down near the field - bad in upper deck where I was.
The rides in and out take forever unless you tailgate. The Uber line took hours.
The surrounding Miami Gardens area is sketch. Parts are ok, and then other parts are bad.
The walk to seats first over about half a mile from drop off, then up the spiral cement staircases are too long.
We were all healthy and active, but anyone with movement challenges is inconvenienced more than other venues.

I did like the Orange Bowl Club where ND alumni had their pre game party - that was nice.
