ATLANTA, Ga. (Atlanta News First) — One of the most highly anticipated college football national championship games will kick off Monday in Miami.
Former University of Georgia quarterback Carson Beck, now with the Hurricanes, faces Heisman-winning Indiana quarterback Fernando Mendoza, a transfer from Cal.
What time is kickoff for the CFP National Championship?
The game airs on ESPN and is listed as a 7:30 p.m. ET kickoff. But everyone knows, after the pregame hype, national anthem and everything in between, the kickoff won’t be at 7:30. So what time is kickoff for the Miami-Indiana game tonight?
The game will officially kick off at 7:50 p.m. ET at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami, the home stadium for the Hurricanes and Miami Dolphins.
How much are tickets to the CFP National Championship?
Monday night’s title game between Indiana and Miami will be among the most expensive tickets in college football history.
According to Ticketdata, the lowest “get-in” price at Hard Rock Stadium, not far from the Miami campus, was $3,652 about 24 hours before kickoff. That’s 8% off what it had been earlier in the week, but still in position to be the most expensive price since the data started being tracked in 2009.
Who is singing the national anthem at the CFP National Championship?
Jamal Roberts is singing the Star-Spangled Banner. He is the winner of Season 23 of American Idol.
“America the Beautiful” will be performed by members of the Florida Memorial University Ambassador Chorale.
