Dude, go touch some grass, get some action, because this mope act is getting tired.

The issue is a 40k stadium screws us for major games. By building such a small facility, we would be basically saying "Yep, we're a glorified midmajor that doesn't want to win anything significant". 50k would be the number, because historically, Miami has drawn around 45-50k, that would ensure...

They have our ring of honor, they have our accomplishments visible on multiple levels. We have U branded wraps and banners throughout the stadium. Maybe, not just maybe if more of our fans actually attended games, they would see those things and not rely on what is shown on TV to make...

What's funny is that these same fans didn't have a **** thing to say when the beloved Orange Bowl didn't have our trademarks in the endzone, it ONLY happened once the Dolphins moved. I'm convinced that we have some of the most whiny, entitled fans in the country. Then again, the same fans that...

A lot of our fans forget that when we shared the OB facility with the Dolphins, the endzones merely read "Orange Bowl".

That would be the OPTIMAL situation. What drives me nuts is all the people that are screaming for this stadium didn't do or say a **** thing when the City screwed us over on that site. Then again, it was easier for this "Fanbase" to blame Dr. Shalala instead of Manny Diaz Sr. and the rest of...

Fundamental difference between our football program and basketball program. We actually had the land on campus needed to build a facility, and even then, it wasn't nearly the facility that the school wanted to build, thanks to the City of Coral Gables. It made sense to build a midsize facility...

Is it selfish to ask questions about what is at best a project with iffy odds? Is it selfish to actually be able to think critically and not rely on shaming language? Exactly. I'm not just going to take the word of a guy who despite doing a good amount for the University will benefit...

Fundamental difference between having temporary structures that are in use for a couple of months and a 60k seat stadium that will need to be occupied for dozens of events per year to make financial sense. Never mind the fact that during construction, that park will likely be useless to the...

You think that Ruiz won't want to tap into those funds when it comes time to renovate or update within a decade? Ruiz will own the facility, full stop. Now, if he gifts the facility(unlikely) or gives us a huge ownership stake, then it becomes a lot more feasible. Then again, if that was the...

So, someone with an obvious financial incentive to lie or be less than truthful said that. Ruiz and his family benefits from this facility, not only in regards to PR, but from having the development rights. They want this to happen, because they will be the people that cash in, we're just a...

Tulane will never win anything. So, in essence, you are saying that we should be so incredibly desperate for our own facility, we should be willing to trade in being a competitive program for that. We could build a garbage erector set stadium and go 7-5 forever(if that) but the school would...

The OB wasn't intimidating from the day it was open until the mid 70s, and it didn't become intimidating for us until the mid 80s. Concrete doesn't win games, people do.

If it happens, for it to be useful, it's going to have a huge price tag. Without state funding, that's going to be a huge ask of our donor base. That said, if it happens, then great.

Comparing Miami to Tulane as if it's a valid comparison. Tulane built a stadium because they would never fill the Superdome, and they had land available to build a facility that fits their needs. Miami could build a similar facility, if we don't want to win titles. The entire issue with Trop...

They also built a stadium that our fans would consider a joke. Yulman Stadium seats 30,000. Tulane has not been a major program in almost a century. They have conceded that they can't win, so they won't try. So, you are basically stating that Miami should just give up and be a punching bag...
