Coral Gables, Fla. – The Hurricane Club is proud to announce the first-ever “Canes Carnivale” interactive festival taking place Sat., Aug. 28, in the Basketball Field House and H-100 parking lot at the BankUnited Center on the UM campus in Coral Gables, Fla.
The event, which runs from 10:30 a.m. through 1 p.m., will feature a variety of activities for Hurricane Club members to enjoy while interacting with their favorite Hurricanes student-athletes from all UM sports. Admission for all Hurricane Club members is free, while they may bring up to four guests with them to enjoy the event. In addition, non-Hurricane Club members whom would like to attend the event may join the Hurricane Club for a one-time, special offer of just $10.
Taking place in the H-100 parking lot, located in the southwest corner of the BankUnited Center parking lot, fans can try and “strike-out” the baseball team, while also competing in an obstacle course against the men’s and women’s cross country and track & field teams. Fans can test their skills with the `Canes football team in throwing skills and mini-combine workout.
In the Basketball Field House, fans can go one-on-one in open basketball drills against the men’s and women’s basketball teams, as well as time themselves in a simulated rowing race on a time machine with the rowing squad. The soccer team will hold a pass & shoot drill including a mini goal, while volleyball will host a relay race with a “Hurricane” twist to it.
The golf team will have a putting green outside in the H-100 breezeway with prizes available. The swimming & diving team will also have a booth in the breezeway, featuring a duck pond with prizes available to winners as well.
Additionally, the `Canes nationally recognized men’s and women’s tennis teams will each participate in activities of their own.
And don’t forget about the spirit of the Hurricanes – the cheerleaders and Sunsations, as they will be doing face painting for children of all ages in the H-100 breezeway as well. Sebastian the Ibis will also be on hand at all venues for photo opportunities, as well as participating in a few events of his choosing.
Enjoy the UM Marching Band – the Band of the Hour, a pep rally, music and more. Come out and kickoff the 2010 fall sports season for the University of Miami Hurricanes in style.
