The 1926 Miami Hurricanes football team represented the University of Miami during the 1926 college football season.
[1] Before their first season began, plans for a 50,000-seat stadium were proposed by Bowman Foster Ashe, the university's first president.
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.
