    This premise assumes you can only have a great fan experience OR a winning team. Which has no basis in fact. The assumption that Miami’s football team would be better if they somehow played in a ****tier stadium is ridiculous. Once again, maybe you missed the last few years at the Orange Bowl...

    Stephen Ross purposely removed almost 10,000 seats from his stadium to make the experience better for the other 65,000. If you’re going to charge the amount they do for sporting events today, you better offer up something besides unshaded benches and warm beer.

    I don't know anything about the renovation numbers for the Orange Bowl but stadiums like UCF's and FAU's are really bare bones erector sets. There's very little concrete and the entire stadium is really a giant version of the aluminum bleachers at high schools. I also know that UCF had to sink a...

    Maybe you missed the last 5 years or so at the OB but Miami sucked there too.

    Most of the people who complain about Hardrock are people who live in southwest Dade and don't like the drive. They'll come up with a million ridiculous reasons why but the only REAL reason is they don't like the fact that the stadium is far from where they live now.

    Besides a small stadium where 30K is near capacity? None. Once again, I was not stating that the stadium should have done a better job of being more fun with half empty stands. I was stating that there were quite a few games like that, even during the heyday. The stadium had a maximum capacity...

    Contrary to popular belief or nostalgia, The OB was a very ho-hum experience for non ranked opponents. When the place was full for big games, it was electric. For a lot of games against Big East bottom feeders and FCS/G5 opponents the stadium was half full at best. My family had season tickets...

    A lot of good times were had there. Although, I feel like I've been spoiled by Hard Rock Stadium after the renovations.

    The city had multiple chances to upgrade and repair the stadium over the years and decided to just let it fall apart. I’m pretty positive that it was nowhere near up to code by the time UM played it’s final games there. It would have ended up like that condo in Sunny Isles except a thousand...
