The Miami football program will play its biggest season opener in recent memory when they play Alabama in the 2021 Chick-fil-A Kickoff Classic at Mercedes Benz Stadium in Atlanta on September 6. Speaking to reporters on Tuesday, Miami athletic director Blake James hopes a full crowd will be present.
This is the third time in the last four seasons that the Miami football team is participating in one of the kickoff games. Miami began the 2019 season with a 24-20 loss to Florida in Orlando.
