After an unprecedented offseason, the Miami Hurricanes will attempt to return to normalcy when they kick off their 2020 season on Thursday night.
The Hurricanes are hosting the University of Alabama at Birmingham (1-0) at 8 p.m. at Hard Rock Stadium in the first Atlantic Coast Conference game of the season.
The effects of the Covid-19 pandemic will be evident at the stadium. 13,000 mask bearing fans will be in attendance for the game. In a stadium that holds over 65,000, fans will be socially distanced and have to follow strict protocols for purchasing food and movement throughout the stadium, according to Dolphins CEO Tom Garfinkel and Florida Governor Ron DeSantis.
