Stop the bull****. It's like this at 100 other universities. Land is not infinite. Parking is not infinite. Seriously. Clemson is a long-standing state university with a ton of land and I still had to walk over a mile between the parking lot and the stadium (and there were plenty of Clemson...

There are ways to "maximize profits" without destroying the original goose that has been laying golden eggs for decades. For instance, Ross could have put the tennis center and/or the Dolphins practice facility on the south side of 199th and built a parking garage in Yellow (since neither...

You know, it's sad. I have A LOT of issues with the Athletic Department. But asking for a MODEST charitable donation is not something I have a problem with. First, compare UM to every other P5 college out there, we are one of the most affordable options when it comes to parking proximity...

Truth.

I have Green, but if I'm having a tough time with travel and can only make it around game time, I sell my Green and use my SunPass to park in Yellow.

Definitely a chance that you'll be shunted over to Yellow if you wait. Just being honest.

That's not the point, you clown. The point is, the students contribute, the students feel connected, the students are allowed to attend games. Nobody claimed that the money helps the Athletic Department to balance the budget. But it IS funny that you are now arguing how little money is...

Imagine a guy who (a) took an extra job while in college to (b) buy extra football tickets so he didn't have to fight with his fellow students for good seats and (c) then fought not to have to pay the Athletic Fee of $138, even though the fee covers all sports And I highly doubt he ever had...

I hear ya. I went to aTm, GaTech, and Clemson this year.

No, I didn't make a lot of assumptions about people. I don't give a **** about "kids that don't care about sports", because that's the ***** approach to paying required fees. "Oh, I don't care about sports, I don't want to pay my $138". PUSSIES. Again, you can say the same thing about the...

I worked during school too. So, again, try not to presume too much. During the semesters, I worked for The Princeton Review and for UM Athletics as a tutor. During the summers and winters that I wasn't in Miami, I worked at Disney World and EPCOT. I paid my Athletic Fee because there was...

I would still buy season tix. Tailgating or not, I will be unable to attend EVERY game, as I live in Atlanta. But most, yes. Tailgating or not. I'm a UM alum.

Agreed. It has barely gone up in price OVER FORTY YEARS. Name anything else in Miami that is just about as cheap today as it was 40 years ago.

No, but a new stadium can be the fix-all of FORTY years of not figuring out our own pathway once Joe Robbie decided to move the Dolphins out of the Orange Bowl.

Fair enough, I trust you, and there are definitely going to be a few alums under the age of 40 who might have a bit more respect for the program. I just find it to be the height of either hypocrisy or insanity to fight NOT to pay the Athletic Fee while complaining about UM Sports. Good lord...

$$$$$$$$$$$

Truth. The Ticket Office is only to blame for poor communication, a ****** website, and an indifferent attitude.

I'm not missing any key points. I'm going to try very hard NOT to judge you on a personal level, so try not to take this personally. But BEHAVIOR like yours is a part of the problem. A big part of the problem. I realize you're probably not going to acknowledge it, but go back and re-read...

Dammmmmnnnn....

The sad part is, I've seen a number of posters on other sites (like the on3 and 247 boards) say they are cancelling their season tickets due to the changes in parking and tailgating. I'm not sure how much of that is true and how much is bravado, but I definitely think it's a bad sign for the...
