Carol Soffer grew up in Chicago going to Bears games with her father and Wisconsin games as a college coed who loved football.
But her heart, and her legacy, will forever be linked to the University of Miami, as Hurricanes football players will see her name for years to come in giant letters next to an even bigger ‘U’ on the soon-to-be-built Carol Soffer Football Indoor Practice Facility.
“I’m totally overwhelmed,’’ said Soffer, a longtime UM donor and multiple-sport season-ticket holder who will be honored, along with her family, at the groundbreaking on Thursday night.
