CFP Title Game Still On At Hard Rock, But Events Canceled

The College Football Playoff National Championship is "still on" for Hard Rock Stadium on Jan. 11, but "some of the festivities that normally accompany it are being eliminated because of the COVID-19 pandemic," according to Susan Miller Degnan of the MIAMI HERALD. Three of those ancillary events that "will be eliminated surrounding South Florida’s big game: Playoff Fan Central, Playoff Playlist Live and Championship Tailgate." Playoff Fan Central is the "collegiate version of the NFL’s Super Bowl Experience." The Capital One Orange Bowl, scheduled for an 8:00pm ET kickoff on Saturday, Jan. 2, also is "still scheduled for Hard Rock." The ticket situation is "still unclear at this point and will likely evolve according to the protocols of the state, local municipalities and Hard Rock." The first two Univ. of Miami and Dolphins home games, for example, are allowing 13,000 socially distanced fans (MIAMI HERALD, 9/15).
