Gameday

Miami football began in 1926, but it was in the 1980s and early 2000s when they truly reigned supreme, snagging five national championships (1983, 1987, 1989, 1991, and 2001). Known for producing some of the NFL’s biggest stars, players like Ray Lewis, Michael Irvin, and Ed Reed started their march to greatness at The U. And who can forget the swagger? Miami was known for its brash confidence, often taking the field with a level of bravado that few teams could match.

Tailgate Traditions

Tailgating 101

Miami doesn't just tailgate, they throw a tropical fiesta. Nestled in the warm embrace of Miami's sun, tailgating here means BBQ with a side of salsa dancing. The scent of grilled specialties merges with the sounds of Latin beats, creating a party atmosphere that’s distinctively Miami.

The Stadium

Stadium History

Hard Rock Stadium, the current home of the Hurricanes since 2008, is a modern marvel with all the bells and whistles. While the Canes have had multiple homes over the years, it’s here that they’ve enjoyed recent successes and continued their storied legacy. But let’s be real—it’s Miami, so even the stadium brings that touch of flair, offering a complete entertainment experience. Beyond the gripping games, the venue has hosted Super Bowls, WrestleManias, and even F1. Prior, to Hard Rock Stadium, the Hurricanes played at the Orange Bowl which was located in Little Havana.
