built by Gerdau Ameristeel stands proudly over Miami Beach's famed Ocean Drive as a
tribute to South Florida's rich tradition of hosting Super Bowls.

from the Orange Bowl and Sun Life Stadiums to create the structure. Wion one leg of the
arch fabricated with recycled Orange Bowl steel and the other with Sun Life Stadium steel,
the two intersecting arches create a visual and symbollic "passing of the ball" from one
stadium to the other. In addition, each leg is inscribed with the roman numerals
celebrating every Super Bowl played in South Florida.

Accompanying Champions Arch, built by Gerdau Ameristeel, are 11 one of a kind
sculptures created by renowned steel artists. Each sculpture includes recycled steel and
represents past South Florida champions along with this years Super Bowl contenderes,
the Indianapolis Colts and the New Orleans Saints.
