Sun Life Stadium Renovations for 2015

The modernization of Sun Life Stadium is moving ahead, and Miami Hurricanes football season ticket holders will experience a new game-day environment and amenities with the kickoff of the 2015 season.  Sun Life Stadium will be remodeled and redesigned into a state-of-the-art sporting venue with enhanced comfort for fans, improved concessions and concourse areas, multiple premium seating areas, and new technology inside and outside of the stadium. The extensive renovations will significantly decrease the total number of seats at Sun Life Stadium and will impact all season ticket holder locations. 

The Renovations Plan                                                         
The majority of the renovations will be complete by the start of the 2015 season. Stadium improvements include:

• New and more comfortable seats as well as expanded room between rows
• More seats closer to the playing field
• Improved concourse and concessions on both the lower and upper levels
• Increased number of premium seating areas and enhanced club seating options
• State-of-the-art video boards in the four corners of the stadium (complete by 2016)
• Partial roof over the stadium, providing more shade and weather protection (complete by 2016)
• Renovation and update of the 200 level club concourse (complete by 2016)

How the Renovations Will Impact Your Seats
The renovation plans are extensive and sections, rows and seat numbers will change, as will the entire configuration of the stadium.  Additionally, there will be a significant decrease in the total number of seats in the stadium.  These changes will result in all season ticket holders being able to select their new seats during the upcoming Miami Hurricane Select-Your-Seat process.

Select-Your-Seat Process
Every season ticket holder will be assigned a day and time in which they can select their seats, accessible through our online system, over the phone or in person at the Hecht Athletic Center. The order of selections will be set by your 2014 Hurricane Club giving level and your rank within your giving level. Your 2014 giving level is determined by your total 2014 Annual Fund contribution. Your rank within your giving level is determined by your priority points, which are calculated by your gifts to athletics, consecutive years of athletics giving and consecutive years of season ticket purchases. If you are a season ticket holder that is a not a Hurricane Club member you selection date will occur after all Hurricane Club Members and be ranked by tenure as a season ticket holder.

Improve Your Priority
In order to accommodate Hurricane Club members who would like to add to their 2014 giving level to increase their seat selection priority, gifts toward 2014 giving levels will be accepted through February 13, 2015.  Your priority assignment for Select-Your-Seat will be set after the February 13 deadline. Below, you can find your membership summary (“Your Hurricane Club Membership at a Glance”), which includes your 2014 giving level as of December 31, 2014.
