The two schools play for statewide bragging rights, on Saturday.
The 700-foot-tall superstructure also ignites a 300-foot-wide Miami Hurricanes’ mascot, “Sebastian the Ibis” and Florida’s mascot, “Albert the Alligator.”
The building then morphs into a pair of orange and green connected hands -- forming the U of M logo and football goal post image.
Through Paramount’s colossal center column are the cheering phrases, “Go Canes” and “Go Gators.”
Kick-off time in Gainesville, Florida is 3:30 p.m., August 31, 2024.
