A new stadium is being planned for Miami, backed by John and Johnny Ruiz. Now, we’re getting a glimpse at what it could look like.

HKS Architects released initial renderings for what the proposed stadium in Tropical Park would look like. The stadium would hold about 60,000 fans and be located right on the East Lake, which is for boating.

WOW! The first renderings are out for a proposed 60K capacity stadium for the Miami Hurricanes located in Tropical Park.

News broke of a potential new stadium in July when Johnny Ruiz tweeted a concept plan for Tropical Park. Miami currently plays its games at Hard Rock Stadium, home of the Miami Dolphins, and the plan would be to give the Hurricanes their own place.

Parking could be a concern, but John Ruiz said there’s a solution. More than 16,000 parking spots will be available as part of the plan.

More on Miami’s proposed new football stadium in Tropical Park

The Hurricanes have played their home football games at Hard Rock Stadium for nearly 15 years. Previously, the Orange Bowl was considered their stadium but they have always been in downtown Miami, never in Coral Gables.

However, there could be something new in the works from John and Johnny Ruiz.

On July 11, the Ruiz duo revealed an updated plan of what he calls the “Tropical Park Concept” and bring a new home football stadium to the Hurricanes’ program. In what should hold near 65,000, Ruiz says there would be a retractable roof in play as well.

As for festivities around the stadium, a Miami Live! would be built as well, meaning fans would have a place to tailgate before and after games. In what can already be a lively, ruckus crowd, Ruiz and his design would give Miami a top-level atmosphere in college football.
