The facility will be a big upgrade for the Hurricanes. The ceremony was streamed on the football program’s facebook page last night.
Earlier in the day, Miami Athletic Director Blake James and Head Coach Mark Richt appeared on WQAM in Miami to discuss the groundbreaking and what the facility will be.
The Soffer facility will be built on the Greentree Practice fields. It is expected to open in time for the 2018 football season.
James was the catalyst behind the raising of $32 million to get the facility built. They are still two million dollars short of their goal.
