Since we are throwing out credentials, I too am a long time cane fan of over 50 years including as a student who is a season ticket holder. News flash, it rains in South Florida. Using the possibility of rain as an excuse for people not wanting to go is a poor attempt to justify horrible...

In a way it does. South Florida fans are some of the worst in the country and for good reason. Most are only interested in an "event". Even when the Canes were in their peak years if it was against an opponent that wasn't an "event" people didn't go. Canes "fans" are no different.

A stormy looking night? Are you serious? It was beautiful out. There was a short period during the game where it rained. but if you have ever been to hard rock, you would know that 75% of the seats are fully covered and out of the rain. Again, South Florida fans deserve 100% of the criticism...

No, South Florida people can do more to be actual fans and not people claiming to be fans only when it's something that gets lots of attention. South Florida fans deserve every bit of criticism for being some of the worst fans in the country.

People need to stop blaming everyone else and get off their couch and get to the games. I would bet half if not more of the people on this board who are local did not go to the game last night. Was it because the university didn't do a good enough job marketing? no it wasn't.

This is not on the university. The university went out and did exactly what people have been begging them to do for a long time and spend the going rate for a top tier coach and top tier assistants. Mario went out and did exactly what people have been begging and hired top tier innovative...

You can buy a season ticket in the upper deck for under $200. And you can pay it off monthly. The argument of ticket prices being too high is ridiculous.

oh for the love of god stop already.

Point being it is a Super Bowl stadium. Yes the stadium owner spent hundreds of millions of dollars making it a world class facility that the university of Miami benefits from without the construction bill. Please explain to me how the tennis center, dolphins practice facility and F1 track...

Ok you keep buying that lottery ticket each week hoping to win. What you suggested is never going to happen and if it does I will be the first one there eating crow. until that happens I will continue enjoying the beautiful convenient stadium we play at now

Sorry but I just can't understand this low level logic. If this is an argument even the simplest of minds can't defend then I'm at a loss for words.

I agree with everything you are saying but comfort, amenities, convenience etc has nothing to do with having raucous crowds and players being amungst peers as Rellyrell is talking about.

Having a stadium close to the university so it is easier for students to get there is a baseless argument. The university has 10k undergrads out of which maybe 30% and that's generous, are interested in football. For the remaining students who do want to go to the games, it really isn't that...

Sorry Tad. My question wasn't directed at you. I meant to quote the original poster.

What is so embarrassing about playing in a stadium that is so easily accessible and is so nice it is worthy of hosting the superbowl every 4 years or so?

yes 100% serious question.

What makes you think everyone would be for a stadium closer to campus? What purpose would that serve?

What makes you think everyone would be for a stadium close to campus? What purpose do you think that serves?

That serves zero purpose. The university has about 10k undergrad students. Even if half the student population attended games, which would never happen, you are talking about such a small percentage of total attendees. The argument of having a stadium on or near campus would increase...

Just curious why you think it would be better for the school if it was where the OB was or in close proximity to campus?
