Stephen Ross apologist? :zczkqmritjdsoaq.jpg: The guy could be found to be a tool and "******** UM" because the lease agreement doesn't split game day revenues (parking, concessions, etc.) enough with UM, but because he is maximizing the revenue of his facility with offseason events? Just...

He's greedy because he wants to make money on an asset that he owns which he paid $400M of his own money to upgrade that would otherwise be sitting idle for 6 months on the year?

Why did they put in 30,000 more seats this year if it was such a loser? And they announced it was a sell out again? Just bs from Ross and the other sponsors?

Well, HRS is roughly the same size as those other stadiums that you mentioned. It could have been built on the same size lot as the Seattle stadium. I'm not sure why you're saying stadium design has anything to do with the lot sizes. The difference is parking. HRS has it.....and plenty of...

Are you saying HRS (just the stadium) takes up 5 times more surface area than Century Link Field and 2.5 times bigger than SoFi? Or are you saying the entire lot (including parking) is 5 times the size of Century Link and 2.5 times bigger than SoFi?

Look at how many build, look to build, or reinvest solely with their own money. Typically, it is public money and team money in a 50/50 or worse split (advantage to the team). The team typically gets the vast majority of the revenue with the city/county/state getting breadcrumbs and the right...

The Canes can't do what the Marlins did - threaten to move to San Antonio.

Do you really think the reason there were no professional teams until quite recently was due to lack of money or entrepreneurial thinking? Come on man. For decades, Vegas and Atlantic City were the gambling meccas of the country. The influence of gambling was the quickest way for your sport...

Sorry, I haven't read all of your posts. I was born and raised down here. First Cane game was 1987 vs. ND. In 1991, I was a freshman and I've had season tickets ever since. So take it for what it's worth, but I'd highly suggest you fly out for a game sometime against a quality opponent. The...

How long have you lived in LA? How many games have you been to at HRS? When was your last game at HRS?

What has the TEAM provided in 15 YEARS at the stadium?? Which came first, the chicken or the egg?? Is the lack of home field for Miami caused by the stadium or the fact that the team has sucked a$$ for the most part over those 15 years? I'm saying the latter because we saw what can be in...

Sorry, I butt-replied. lol My point is whether the landlord is the city of Miami, Ross, Diaz, or Mr. Furley, the Canes will always be a tenant - no more, no less. Therefore, unless they buy their way into controlling the day-to-day management of the stadium (like USC did with the Coliseum)...

No, the OB was built for the annual game. It was also used for high school games through the years. Concerts were

Relly, I agree with 99% of your takes, but this one doesn't have that great legs IMO. Where was the OB mystique from 1958-1982? Do great teams make the stadium or do great stadiums make the team? And Miami has never had its own stadium.

And I will be right there with you buddy as I have for over 30 years now. They better not be waiting on me. If I win the lottery, I'll give a nice donation to the university, but **** far less than a new stadium. lol

I didn't say ease for students was the only reasoning for having a stadium closer to campus. You asked what purpose would having a stadium closer to campus serve. I said it was one of the factors in why it would be preferable to be closer to campus as well as easier for the team to get to as...

If at all possible, you want a stadium as close to the campus as possible because it is the UNIVERSITY of Miami football team. Student access should be an issue. The distance the team needs to be driven to get to their own home games, should be an issue. This is not a pro team. They can't...

Is this a serious question?

My guess one in Miami and another in Ft. Lauderdale like the Marlins did 20 years ago. I just hope it happens somewhat soon, I was 2 months old the last time the Dolphins won the SB. When it happens, the parade crowds will dwarf anything the Marlins or Heat ever had. As bad as it has been and...

It is sacrilege agreed. For a baseball stadium, it's a pretty nice "dump" though. lol
