Miami football spring game information, live stream, location
The Miami football team will host its annual spring game on Saturday afternoon with a 4 PM kickoff. Cobb Stadium on the Miami campus will host the game. Miami brought in temporary bleachers to increase the capacity to 5,550. ACC Network Extra will live stream the spring game with Miami's flagship radio station WQAM also broadcasting.
The Miami Spring Game is one of six that will be televised by the ACC Network or their auxiliary channel ACC Network Extra on Saturday. Six more ACC Spring Games are next Saturday and the other two were last Saturday. Miami is the final ACC Spring Game to be televised on Saturday.
Mario Cristobal told reporters on Thursday that the 2024 Spring Game being on campus provides an opportunity for recruits to see the campus and facilities. Cristobal also mentioned that being on campus provides an opportunity (read donors) to return to campus and see the progression.
Susan Miller Degnan of the Miami Herald reported "Those seats have already been accounted for by season-ticket holders who are Hurricane Club members, plus students, former players, family members and a huge contingent of recruits." Cristobal outlined what to expect with reporters on Thursday.
Miami will run base offenses and defense as Cristobal expects other programs to do with all of the ACC spring games now being televised. After going full tackle in the first half, Miami will not allow players to be brought completely to the ground in the second half. Quarterbacks cannot be touched.
There are several intriguing storylines on Saturday. This will be the first scrimmage with Miami in front of a crowd for quarterback Cam Ward. Several freshmen will also make their first appearances in a Miami uniform in front of family. fans and other recruits. Miami will not be back in pads after Saturday until August training camp.
