Spring game set for April 14
Scrimmage set for return to Hard Rock
CORAL GABLES — Last spring, the Hurricanes football team didn’t play a typical spring game, settling instead for an inviteonly scrimmage at Boca Raton High School while their fall home — Hard Rock Stadium — was being renovated.
With that work now completed, the Hurricanes are planning to get back to a more typical spring schedule, with a spring game set to be played at Hard Rock at 6 p.m. on April 14.
The game will be free and is open to the public. It is the only one of the Hurricanes’ announced spring workouts that will be open to fans, with the school saying Monday more details on the event will be made available in the coming weeks.
Miami, which is set to open spring practice on campus March 20, also announced on Monday a list of 13 scheduled workouts that will run through late March into early April. Those practices — like Miami’s Pro Day, scheduled for March 28 — are closed to the public.
Miami finished the 2017 season — coach Mark Richt’s second in Coral Gables — with a 10-3 record. The Hurricanes won their first Coastal Division crown and made their first appearance in the ACC Championship.
They were ranked No. 13 in the final AP Top 25 poll and are projected a potential top-10 team to start the 2018 season.
Here’s a look at the complete spring football practice schedule Miami released Monday:
(All practices, except the spring game, are set for 9:30 a.m. and closed to the public) Tuesday, March 20 Thursday, March 22 Saturday, March 24 Tuesday, March 27 Thursday, March 29 Saturday, March 31 Tuesday, April 3 Thursday, April 5 Tuesday, April 10 Thursday, April 12 Saturday, April 14* Tuesday, April 17 Thursday, April 19 *Saturday’s April 14 spring game is set for a 6 p.m. kick at Hard Rock Stadium.
