Pro Bowl and Super Bowl organizers are recruiting thousands of volunteers to serve as ''ambassadors'' when the events come to South Florida. 2010 will be extra special because the Pro Bowl is back in South Florida for the first time in 35 years (it's been in Hawaii for the past 30 years). The All-Star game will be on Jan. 31, the week before Super Bowl XLIV, returning to Miami for the 10th time. Most of events will take place from Jan. 26 to Feb. 8. Volunteers must be 18 or older by November 30, and pass a background check. Volunteer jobs include staffing events, attending youth clinics and parties and greeting guests at airports and hotels. Volunteers will be entered into a drawing for tickets to the 2010 Pro Bowl. It's an opportunity to do something unique, give back to the community, and go behind the scenes.

Dolphin Stadium Renamed Landshark Stadium - For Now
The Miami Dolphins have a new naming rights deal with Jimmy Buffett and Anheuser-Busch. The stadium has been renamed "LandShark Stadium" for a joint brewing project, Land Shark Lager. The sponsorship deal is for 8 months and the name will revert back to Dolphin Stadium in time for the Super Bowl XLIV and the 2010 Pro Bowl, possibly to be replaced by another sponsor name if a deal can be secured before that time.
LandShark Stadium (previously known as Joe Robbie Stadium, Pro Player Park, Pro Player Stadium, Dolphins Stadium, and Dolphin Stadium) is a football, lacrosse, soccer, and baseball stadium in Miami Gardens, Florida. The stadium serves as host to the Miami Dolphins, the Florida Marlins, the Miami Hurricanes, and the annual Orange Bowl college football game.
Since its construction, the stadium has hosted four Super Bowls (XXIII, XXIX, XXXIII, XLI), two World Series (1997 and 2003), and three BCS National Championship Games (2001, 2005, 2009). The stadium served as host for the second round of the 2009 World Baseball Classic, and will host Super Bowl XLIV and the 2010 Pro Bowl.
