This. If Miami is going to rent a stadium, I’d much rather it be a real football stadium than some half-assed soccer pitch.

You’re right about having the proper traffic control measures to ease congestion. Whether it’s closing off certain roads or making certain roads one way to accommodate game day traffic it makes a huge difference. Half the problem in large crowds is people not knowing where they’re going and...

I’ve been to all the ones in Florida besides FIU. Obviously, USF plays in a pro stadium also. UF, FSU and UCF aren’t too bad because everyone isn’t taking the same route and there isn’t already a ton of local traffic added to the game day crowd. It’s the typical coming and going traffic...

I would feel like thats a step back tbh

The traffic everywhere in Los Angeles is pretty terrible. It’s like every highway is the Palmetto. Honestly, the Orange Bowl traffic wasn't really that bad. It got backed up in the immediate area around the stadium because the city just wasn’t built to accommodate a 70,000 seat stadium but it...

It’s not the distance. My family had season tickets at the Orange Bowl for most of the 90’s and I had season tickets there from 2002 (when I moved back to south Florida) until they closed the stadium. I actually didn’t want them to move to Joe Robbie. I’ve probably been to the Orange Bowl more...

You use a hockey comparison after calling mine apples and oranges. Panther’s couldn’t sell tickets in Miami either but still out draw the Marlins for a sport that nobody in Florida really cares about. The baseball loving community in Miami still doesn’t go to any games.

I saw an overhead view but where does everyone park? There’s no lot or garage anywhere in the immediate vicinity. The Orange Bowl had limited on site parking so most people just paid to park on private property. Which wasn’t bad unless you paid extra for “no blockee” and you still got blocked in...

Remember when moving the Marlins further south would guarantee bigger crowds because that’s where all their fans were? Lol.

E Enjoy the pretend empty stadium.

The thing about most college campuses is that they’re not usually in the middle of a big city. So any traffic on game day is solely people coming and going to the stadium. I think it really depends on how the campus is laid out. I’ve been to a couple of games at UCF (they only have a 45,000...

Lol. You want to build not only an incredible state of the art stadium but surround it with high end, fine dining establishments? And you want the ticket prices to be cheap? The guys wanting to build a stadium on campus are more realistic.

There’s a difference between taking 45 minutes to get out of the parking lot at Hardrock and waiting 3 hours in traffic on US1 just to get into the stadium. After games at Hardrock, I go back to my truck, open the cooler and enjoy some food and maybe a beer while everyone is filling out. After...

Tropical Park is the only semi-realistic option. A lot of these other selections sound like they’re coming from people who not only don’t live here but have never even been here. If there isn’t reasonable traffic flow in and out and plenty of parking the stadium will be about as full as Marlins...
