Miami Football Team’s Travel Schedule for 2024: Ranked 11th in ACC with 11,517 Miles Scheduled
Miami Football Team Faces Longest Road Trips in ACC for 2024 Season
The Miami football team is gearing up for a challenging 2024 season, as they are set to travel a whopping 11,517 miles throughout the year. According to Grant Hughes of 247Sports, one of the highlights of their schedule is the 3,031.3-mile trip to California on Oct. 5, which is the longest true road game of the season in the ACC for any team other than the Bears, SMU, or Stanford.
In comparison, Georgia Tech, Florida State, Stanford, and California will also be logging significant miles in 2024, with Georgia Tech and Florida State traveling to Dublin, Ireland for their week zero game, adding even more distance to their schedules.
Miami’s extensive travel schedule includes non-conference road games at Florida and South Florida, as well as ACC matchups at Louisville, Georgia Tech, and Syracuse. Despite the long distances, the Hurricanes are ready to take on the challenge and make their mark in the ACC.
It’s worth noting that Miami set an NCAA record back in 1979 by traveling over 28,000 miles for their games. While the team faced tough competition on the road that season, they are determined to improve their away record and come out on top in the upcoming season.
Looking ahead, Miami will not have to play games at California or Stanford in consecutive seasons, but they will face tough matchups at SMU in 2025 and Stanford in 2026. The Hurricanes have a lineup of traditional ACC road games in 2027, but as conference realignment looms, their future schedules may see some changes.
Overall, Miami football fans can expect an exciting and challenging season ahead, as the team looks to navigate their extensive road trips and come out victorious in the ACC.
