Miami Hurricanes Football History
The Miami Hurricanes are a college football powerhouse with five national championships, nine conference titles and over 40 bowl game appearances, including six high-profile Orange Bowl wins. Founded in 1926, the Miami Hurricanes were independent for much of their existence until the team joined the Big East in 1991. Since 2004, Miami has been a part of the Atlantic Coast Conference. Hurricanes rosters have featured future Pro Football Hall of Famers such as quarterback Jim Kelly, wide receivers Michael Irvin and Andre Johnson, center Jim Otto, safety Ed Reed, linebacker Ray Lewis and defensive tackles Warren Sapp and Cortez Kennedy. Miami has also fielded two Heisman Trophy winners, quarterbacks Vinny Testaverde in 1986 and Gino Torretta in 1992. Several of Miami's most successful head coaches, including Jimmy Johnson and Dennis Erickson, went on to coach in the NFL.
The Hurricanes have played in several of college football's greatest games. On New Year's Day 1984, Miami cemented its first of five national championships by defeating the heavily favored Nebraska Cornhuskers in the Orange Bowl. The team secured their second national title in 1987 with an undefeated season that culminated in the Hurricanes dominating the Oklahoma Sooners in the Orange Bowl. In November 1991, Miami won the “Wide Right I” game against Florida State after the Seminoles' kicker missed a game-winning field goal and advanced to the Orange Bowl, where they shut out the Cornhuskers.
The Hurricanes have in-state rivalries with the University of Florida Gators and Florida State Seminoles as well as heated intra-division opposition from Virginia Tech. The feud between Miami and Florida State, which dates back to 1951, has been particularly fierce since the ’80s, as the two teams have taken turns spoiling each other's championship aspirations. During seasons when all three Florida teams play against one another, the squad with the most wins takes home the Florida Cup.

Since this was my first time in the Sun Life Stadium I was over awed by the size and magnitude of it all. It was a lot to fill for a college team but the enthusiasm and sportsmanship never wavered. I had front row tickets on the 30 yard line of the home team side and I must say they were the best seats in the house.
The game was top notch. Cant wait to go to another game
Great seats! Clear view of the field, lower section. The fireworks that shot from scoreboard when the Canes scored were great. The music played during the game was loud and current. It got the 50,000 fans involved.
Good Start for the U!!!! Let's Go CANES. Next week will be an awesome Game.
This was my son's first U game and they won!!! Everything was great, wish the prices of food and drinks were a little less, but it is what it is!!! GO CANES!!
Fantastic seats! and great game and stadium. Enjoyed it very much!
The game was great and we WON! But sitting in an empty stadium was kinda boring. You pay big $$$ for an experience. Could have stayed home and saved big bucks. They should have closed all the upper levels and sold out the lower level for less money, would have looked better on TV too!
This was my first College football game....attended with my 8 year old son and boyfriend. My oldest son is in the FSU band, so we came to watch him play. FSU was not allowed to march on the field, and were given horrible seats in the 423 section. Whenever they began to play, the Stadium would play loud dance/rap music over them, so no one could here them. We were in the "family" section, but the fans were loud and using profanity. I was embarrassed to have my child there. They were mocking the FSU band and "shooting the bird" at the band. My son was very upset. I will not attend again. Between the tickets, parking, and food, we spent $300.
The game was awesome! FSU won! whooooo hooooo - Sucks to be 'U'
As a UM fan the game turned out as expected. Canes struck quick but couldn't match up with Noles on the lines for the whole game. I live in North Carolina and come down for 3-4 games per year. However I have probably come to my last UM-FSU game at Sun Life Stadium. The traffic and parking are pure chaos. You would have thought this is the first big crowd at Sun Life Stadium. Don't the Dolphins play 10 home games per year? The police are useless in traffic management. Same thing happened two years ago. Plus the tailgates are fun but way too many people drunk. Fights and out of control drunks were everywhere. I am critical of UM fans that don't come to games but i think I will sit out the FSU game from now on and save a lot of money and watch it on TV. Finally it appeared that my row upstairs near the 50 was double or triple booked. But I was there first so it was someone elses problem.
The stadium itself could use some upkeep however, the employees were great. Very kind and helpful. Of course food was overpriced as it would be in any stadium. If you are going to eat, prepare to bring extra cash. The food looked good (I only had drinks) and there is a nice area with tables to relax and eat your food.
UM Football not in a good moment right now. Venue is great, food and drinks also good. I liked the organization.
First off, I have to say that the staff at Sun Life Stadium were incredibly friendly and helpful. It was blazing hot and sunny (90 degrees and humid), and they made sure my elderly aunt had a seat in the shaded wheelchair section even though we were not ticketed for that area. I just could not believe how few Miami fans show up to support their team. It is not like NC State is a big draw, but you would think Miami would have put more than 30000 fans in their own stadium for a conference game. Maybe because there is a constant audible assault on your ears with rap music the entire game. Literally through every timeout or stoppage of play, right up until the snap of the ball, there was constant music and noise so loud that you had to yell to speak to the person sitting next to you. Once the whistle blew a play dead, it started up again. I guess that is Miami's version of a home field advantage since there is absolutely no noise from the crowd to impact the opposing teams pre-snap communication. On the plus side, the stadium was easy to get in and out of, had a nice tailgating area for each parking space, and concessions and bathrooms were plentiful with minimal wait. It was also nice to have an actual seat rather than bench seating of most college stadiums.
We had a great time at the game. Seat were in the shade which is important for a noon game. Going to another home game. Go Canes!!!
Tailgating was amazing, great enviroment for a football game.
Although my team didn't win the game, it was indeed a good game. I believe that they're going to come back & whip them in 2013!! This stadium really needs to consider getting covered stadium seating. We're in South Florida & it had to be 100 degrees on that day. I got major sun burn & now I'm a couple shades darker. :(
The stadium was entirely too hot. It is unbearable to have to sit in the hot sun to watch a sporting event. Games need to be scheduled with customers in mind. I will never attend another game that starts before 3:00 pm.
I renewed my season tickets rightaway when I Coach Golden was given a contract exstension! What he seems to bring to Miami is some stability! I'm wearing a shirt and tie now to a football game! LOL! I would like to see a Radio program in Broward County next year! I would like to see more fans in the seats next year and keep the Hurricanes playing Sunlife? forever! If we can give kids anything it's playing in a Pro Stadium! Like South Florida does. Not the Erector Set Studium in Palm Beach. I have been there. I think they lower the Club Levels $$$$ We may pick up some more bodies in the seats! Not just band wagon jumpers. GO CANES Chaged the uniforms!
Tickets were very good, game was painfully bad.. sadly Hurricanes proved they have a lot of room for improvement
Tough loss but the seats were great! Excellent price!
