The Univ. of Miami Health System reached a deal to serve as the official healthcare provider of the Dolphins and Hard Rock Stadium. UHealth will entitle the southeast corner of the stadium. Additional elements of the partnership include UHealth's Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center serving as presenting partner of the Dolphins' Oct. 8 home game against the Titans. Also, UHealth will be on the team’s backdrop for media interviews during away games, as well as various media and digital assets (Dolphins).

GOING TO SCHOOL: In Detroit, Zaniewski, Matheny & Farrell cited sources as saying that Olympia Development officials are "eyeing the football field at Cass Tech High School and have proposed potentially building the team a new athletic facility elsewhere in the city." The football field is about "three blocks from Little Caesars Arena where the Red Wings and Pistons will play starting this fall." Cass Tech Alumni VP Ray Litt said that Olympia "wants to acquire the field, along with the site of the old Cass Tech building" (DETROIT FREE PRESS, 7/25). 

RACE TO THE FINISH: In L.A., Charles Fleming noted parties "fighting for control" of Laguna Seca Raceway "faced off at a Board of Supervisors session Tuesday morning." A closed-door session that followed could "decide the fate of the track." Hoping to "retain control of the venue is the volunteer-based Sports Car Racing Assn. of the Monterey Peninsula, or SCRAMP, which has helped manage Laguna Seca since it opened" in '57. Moving to take control is Friends of Laguna Seca, a "nonprofit that describes itself as a group of local racing enthusiasts" (L.A. TIMES, 7/26).
