Even if that's feasible, the location is no better (maybe worse) than Hard Rock.

Yeah, I agree with this. Doral is out of the way. Tropical is very centrally located which is why it's always made the most sense for me for a Canes stadium although @rsa coral gables is making a very compelling case against it. And btw, particularly with the arrival of Cristobal and a great...

Isn't there enough space to accommodate a stadium + parking that would still leave considerable space for some if not all of the existing facilities?

Let me throw something out as opposed to starting the 80th thread on stadiums. With NCAA becoming a financial arms race, we need to keep up financially because $ will only play a greater and greater part in college athletics. If we were to own a stadium and retain the bulk of related revenue...

Lord. I am almost positive that was the street. Not a forgettable name. Edit: my recollection, and this was years ago, was that the street had some beautiful homes but once you got off that street, it was like woah.

I didn't know if "black grove" was not pc but since you said it . . . haha . . . man, while that would be cool, that would draw a ton of criticism if some of those folks were pushed out, particularly with the lack of available low income housing. As an aside, years ago, I looked at a house that...

What is the west grove? Like, the poor part lol?

But you're assuming that the Broward and Palm Beach fans that come to the games now would not come if we changed spots. I think most will. Because, brother, if you've been going to Cane games in Hard Rock you are a fan thick and thin! LOL.

It's a fair point, but you're re-framing the problem and the solution. One of the primary reasons for an on-campus stadium is "the students can't get to Hard Rock." If the stadium were moved on-campus or closer, the reason wouldn't be to ***** the non-305 residents but rather to make the games...

Thanks for the info. I don't remember anything about how that deal went down. I wasn't educated at all then about how it went down nor am I aware of it now. But don't read into my choice of words to that degree. That may have been a bad word, but bottom-line, the fact that the UM administration...

I read the last few pages of this thread and all I can think about is how there wasn't more uproar when we abandoned the OB. That decision had real impacts for the school more than a decade later. And regardless the optimism of late, a stadium is an uphill challenge. It's remarkable that folks...

I'm not really plugged into this thread, but it's funny to see [likely accurate] assessments about why certain sites don't work. The environment. Noise. Community impact. Public parks, etc. In this crazy community, all that goes to **** once a developer starts swinging around some dollar bills...
