This year the Hurricanes start a new tradition playing in Dolphin Stadium.

In the summer of 2007, Miami announced that, beginning with its 2008 season, its team will play its home games at Dolphin Stadium. 2007 marked UM’s final season of football at the Orange Bowl. The move to Dolphin Stadium was approved by the university’s Board of Trustees, on the recommendation of UM President Donna Shalala, on August 21, 2007.

Due to the condition of the Orange Bowl there had been much speculation in recent years over the venue’s continued viability as Miami football’s home stadium. With an on-campus stadium not practical due to substantial opposition from neighboring home owners in Coral Gables, the university was left with two options: move 25 miles north to Dolphin Stadium in Miami Gardens, which serves as home to the NFL’s Miami Dolphins, or renovate the Orange Bowl, adding more restrooms and a video replay screen and making assorted repairs to the stadium infrastructure. — Cont – Miami Hurricanes football – Wikipedia
