Work began on a temporary, 8,000-seat structure when on September 17, 1926, a hurricane destroyed much of South Florida, killing more than 130 people, and removing the plans for a football stadium. This postponed the season, but also gave the team its nickname, the Miami Hurricanes.http://www.miami-hurricanes.com/history/ Welcome to miami-hurricanes.com - History of the Hurricanes.
