The University of Miami has had a strong connection with the City of Coral Gables since its founding in 1925. Almost a century since George E. Merrick donated the land, the partnership between the University and the City remains strong. In 2001, the University entered into a Development Agreement with the City that offers a number of benefits specifically designed for our residents.
CollegeTown offers Coral Gables residents a special lineup of our most popular events and programs. These offerings include:
- A "Buy One, Get Two Free" ticket program for Coral Gables Day at a designated home football game.
- Free tickets to select Baseball, Men's Basketball, and Women's Basketball games at the Watsco Center.
- Academic Lectures, Cultural Events and art exhbitions.
- "Meet The Docs" Health Lecture events at Lennar Foundation Medical Center.
- Tickets to campus concerts and stage productions.
- Other special event invitations.
To receive ticket notifications, contact the City of Coral Gables at e-news@coralgables.com. Tickets are available for pick-up at the Coral Gables War Memorial Youth Center.
In addition to these programs and events, there is always something to do at the University! Join us every Wednesday during the semester for our Farmer's Market, in the Fall for Homecoming, and in January for the Beauxs Arts Festival.
