It's funny-and I'm as culpable as anyone-but the stadium only becomes a topic of discussion when we lose and we all start moping about everything wrong with the program. I bet if we could start looking like a real program, we could all find ways to positively spin Hard Rock ("NFL facility, bro!")

Enough with the "mean tweets." Perception matters. You get more bees with honey. I've been puzzled with the fact that Ruiz has been pushing for a stadium for UM, which has been surprisingly very quiet on the topic. If UM is involved, it needs to become the face of the project, not Ruiz.

Lol @ “enclave of joy.” Sounds like a very sophisticated way to refer to the female anatomy.

I don't follow or know too much about local politics, but don't like an absurdly low # of people come out to vote for these things? Personally, I think that if a proper venue could be located, a stadium would get pushed through because in So Fla, local money interests (i.e., real estate...

Rad has to focus on the low-hanging fruit, which is the football facility. That's easy. As is whatever other immediate things can be changed quickly and easily (be it, S&C, nutrition, etc.). Something like a stadium is a long-term venture and it has to be treated as such.

Screwball was really, really good too. (Anyone from South Florida will enjoy the story.)

@Rellyrell As a Miami resident, the biggest impediment to Tropical Park is the current lack of infrastructure to access it (only 1 highway, in only 1 direction). The Palmetto south was a mess around peak entrance hours (Saturday 6-8 pm) for Santa's Enchanted, and that was likely 2000-3000...

You are right in the sense that I disregarded what he actually said. I don't think he's a legitimate source of the inner workings of UM. Instead, that's why in my op, I mentioned what I believed he was suggesting ("What he's suggesting is that Ruiz is pushing this idea on his own, without any...

You are taking that out of context. My original post was: "What he's suggesting is that Ruiz is pushing this idea on his own, without any blessing or approval from the university." That's what I think Billy is right about. I don't think you need sources in that regard because we have nothing...

I agree with this. As an aside, I am half-joking when I say that I think the ideal situation is that someone spares Miami the awful baseball the Marlins have churned out here for years and relocates that franchise and then UM can take that stadium back.

That's not what I've suggested at all. I am not going to argue about Corben and his sources and whether he even has any. I don't care about that. My question is simple. Is there any evidence to suggest that there is any real support on behalf of the university for Ruiz's idea to build a stadium...

But the mere fact that decision-makers have blessed the concept or the idea does not mean that they have blessed, approved or are otherwise in any way involved in Ruiz's Tropical Park idea. So, from my perspective, until I see something more official, I view the Ruiz Tropical Park stuff as just...

Why, yes. What have we seen out of Ruiz's history that suggests he is careful, considerate, or precise in his public statements? Folks here appear to be bashing Corben's statement simply because it's coming from him, instead of assessing what he's actually saying. What he's suggesting is that...
