During the second quarter of the Miami Hurricanes’ home opener against Appalachian State, the crowd’s attention suddenly shifted from the game to a cat hanging from the upper deck of Hard Rock Stadium.
Thankfully, Craig Cromer, senior manager of facilities and operations at UM, and his wife Kimberly were there to help save the cat’s life. Cromer recalls first noticing the cat when a phone fell from the seats above him. A nearby security guard found the phone, looked up to see who it belonged to and then pointed up. Cromer was shocked when he gazed up and watched as fans tried to save a cat dangling from the section directly above his seats.
