Ian Dewson Works the Background of Sport - Sun Life Stadium

Sun Life Stadium has been the venue for historic sporting events in the United States. Five Super Bowls: XXIII, XXIX, XXXIII, XLI and XLIV, the 2010 Pro Bowl, the 1997 and 2003 World Series, four Bowl Championship Series National Championship Games in 2001, 2005, 2009 and 2013, second round of the 2009 World Baseball Classic, and the WrestleMania XXVIII have all enjoyed the Sun Life Stadium facility. Sun Life Stadium is also being considered for the Super Bowls of 2019 and 2020. Originally built to house the perennial presence, 21 seasons, of the Miami Dolphins at the Orange Bowl, what was then Joe Robbie Stadium was built at the behest of its namesake, Miami Dolphins founder Joe Robbie. Looking ahead to inevitable arrival of a Major League Baseball team in south Florida, Joe Robbie Stadium was built a bit wider than most NFL stadiums, a design plan which makes the stadium more amenable to conversions for different sports.

The Florida Marlins were born with Joe Robbie Stadium as their home field for the first game in 1993, and minimal renovations were necessary to convert the Stadium for baseball thanks to the foresight of Joe Robbie. The remodeling of the sidelines to narrow the field and bring seats closer to play after the Marlins left the Stadium have since ended the field’s versatility for baseball. Despite ongoing renovations which will reduce the Stadium’s capacity to 65,000, the Sun Life Stadium where Ian Dewson added a whole new dimension to his understanding of sport, will always be special to Dewson.

Ian Dewson Enrolls at Nova Southeastern University

Ian Dewson chose Nova Southeastern University to study for his Bachelor’s Degree, a private institution in Davie, Florida.  The name Nova has given way today to NSU, for Nova Southeastern University, which today offers 18 schools with 175 courses of study, allowing students the choice of more than 250 different majors.  Degrees in law, business, osteopathic medicine, allied health, pharmacy, dentistry, optometry, physical therapy, occupational therapy and nursing are available from Nova Southeastern, which has recently enrolled 24,148 students.
                                
Nova University of Advanced Technology got its start in after World War II, when it was initiated on a former Naval Landing field.  Its first degrees were in physical and social sciences.  Chartered in the state of Florida in 1964, NUAT had a first class of 17 students.  A significant gift of $16 million in 1971 helped fund NSU’s expansions in the 1980’s.  Merging with Southeastern University of Health Sciences in 1994 resulted in its current name, and currently NSU is labeled by Carnegie Foundation as a high research university.

Nova Southeastern University is proud today of its physical campus on the remains of the Naval Outlying Landing Field Forman, purchased from the Forman family of Florida, and NSU has remained true to the promise to the Forman family to use the land for educational purposes.  The South Florida Education Center, of which Nova Southeastern University is a part, also includes Broward College, Florida Atlantic University, McFatter Technical College and the University of Florida.  Original plane taxiways around the airfield are still used as roads on the campus.

The H. Wayne Huizenga School of Business and Entrepreneurship, where Ian Dewson studied for his Bachelors of Sports Management arose in 2004, housed in the Carl DeSantis Building.  Henry Wayne Huizenga, a businessman and entrepreneur, is or has been the owner of three professional sports franchises, since his days in Fort Lauderdale as a high school football player and class treasurer.  Huizenga’s first business was begun with a single garbage truck, which he called Waste Management, Inc.  This became a Fortune 500 company by Huizenga purchasing various independent garbage companies, 133 in all, until Waste Management became the largest waste disposal company in the United States.  Huizenga followed the same business model with Blockbuster Video, building it into the country’s leading movie rental franchise.  Huizenga built the nation’s largest auto dealer, AutoNation, and is also involved in a variety of auto and parts related operations.

Ian Dewson is deeply dedicated to the progress of sports in his home state of Florida, where H. Wayne Huizenga, whose name identifies the Sports Business School of Dewson’s studies at Nova Southeastern University, developed the Florida Marlins and the Florida Panthers, rendering these sports franchises into profit-making operations.
