Approved media members and scouts may pick up their single-game credential at the loading dock entrance on the day of the game. The media will call table will open 90 minutes before tip-off.
Media interested in covering the Hurricanes on the road may make credentials request through Miami. Megan Barnes (meganbarnes@miami.edu) will accept those road credential requests, then work with individuals and the opposing school to determine availability.
