Sitting atop the roof of the Robert King High Towers Building, a webcam is pointed at what is, for now, the vacant lot where the Orange Bowl used to sit. But starting in July (if groundbreaking does occur then) nothing will start to become something. That’s because the webcam is pointed at the new home for the Flor... I mean, soon to be Miami Marlins 37,000 seat, retractable-roof stadium. Targeted opening date? April of 2012.
The webcam camera, which was manufactured by "EarthCam", provides high-speed, Multi-Megapixel images that are archived for remote viewing. Clicking on "Camera Control" to the left of the main image, you can zoom in and out (hence the ability to zoom in on the flags). You can also click on the archive tab to look back in time. The camera's orientation is from North to South and images are updated every 15 minutes.
Boring? For the moment. After all, an empty dirt lot isn’t much to see. But, given the design of the new stadium (see the images below, and other high-res images here), the ballpark should be stunning.
