    MEGA Miami Fan Attendance -Discussion

    Ill informed about what? The school has spent decades keeping costs in line for tickets, hasn't done a **** thing in regards of fan loyalty. As I noted before, if costs were important to our fanbase, the years we gave tickets away at cost for sports like basketball would have done something, and...

    Amazing how it's always "The school has to do this, this and this" and no matter what, the goalposts keep moving, to justify our cheap, lazy fanbase from doing anything to support the program. Two years ago it was "I'm not going because the product is terrible and the school is cheap". School...

    Miami season tickets are pathetically cheap compared to our peers and it hasn’t mattered for decades. If price was an issue, explain how these same fans don’t give a crap about basketball where the tickets are dirt cheap compared to other options. Don’t even get me started on the women’s...

    There's an easy way to predict what the season ticket sales are going to be: Is FSU or UF on the home schedule? If the answer is yes, then expect the number of tickets sold to be significant. Even in your example, Miami played FSU at home in 02. Most people with a semblance of intelligence saw...

    Two things can be true at the same time, our fanbase can be terrible and other schools struggle to fill their facilities as well. The issue with our fanbase, is that stakeholders depend on people that have little to no connection to the University to consistently give a ****. It's a fool's...

    Tons of Miami ALUMNI up there. That’s the key word. Random Miami fans will be there, but you know full well it’s going to be a huge alumni contingent. NY is by far our largest alumni chapter, and like the ATL ‘Canes, they show up when the program comes to town.

    The fact that our fanbase thinks that merely throwing money at the problem will fix this is further proof that people just don’t get it. If you live in South Florida and aren’t aware of the program, either you are not paying attention or are flat out under a rock. Social media, local tv and...

    Do what? Even when the program was ELITE, winning every home game for years on end, people did not care to watch us beat on crap. No amount of marketing will change that. Compared to our peers, our ticket prices are extremely cheap. The school makes it easy to attend games and our fans actively...

    Giving away tickets isn’t a solution(all it does is create fan entitlement, as we see now) spending millions on billboards, a dying advertising medium isn’t a solution. It’s fans wishing for something that the school isn’t nor will ever be. Miami has unique challenges and we need to understand...

    How many kids even qualify for that assistance at Duke? Exactly. This fanbase loves to spend the school’s money despite providing no support whatsoever. The University of Miami is NOT a state sponsored institution and shouldn’t be run that way. Why is this so incredibly difficult to grasp? Dukes...

    I’m honestly tired of these mope threads. It’s beyond obvious that a lot of our fans want the University to be something it will never be and it’s tiring. The fans will never care because most of our fans have no connection to the school. Look at the schools that draw well, THEY ARE ALL SCHOOLS...
