I live in Dallas, and I actually agree with you about Jerryworld Stadium. I can't stand that place. The place is completely sterile and has no personality at all. I prefer Hard Rock to AT&T stadium. But that doesn't mean I like Hard Rock either. Probably my biggest complaint about it is...

Not saying there aren't wealthy people in Coral Gables, but the median income for those 50,000 people is only $90k per year. That means most people in Coral Gables are just average Joes. The median home value is only $750k. That's above average but not exactly millionaire's row. And who...

A lot of these issues are political. My point is that UM has enough clout in Coral Gables that if we really wanted to build a stadium, we could get it done. The entire population of Coral Gables is only like 50,000. We are the biggest employer, biggest tax payer, and biggest net spender by...

We haven't won a single title since they tore the Orange Bowl down. The OB wasn't on campus, but at least it was OURS. It wasn't some rent-a-stadium like Sun Life. Property tax is actually higher in Dallas than in Miami, and property values in University Park are higher than they are in...

Yes.

More people live in Dade county than Broward. Anything you lose in Broward you make up for in Dade. Maybe it never occurred to you, but a lot of people don't want to travel up to Miami Gardens due to traffic and distance. You would gain those people.

I go back to the examples of TCU and SMU. Both have smaller undergraduate populations than we have. SMU's is less than half. Yet both have on-campus stadiums that are used for many things besides just football. Being in the middle of the city is a BENEFIT, in that way. Your stadium has a...

LMAO. You think everyone who disagrees with you is a troll.

Newsflash: The University of Miami is not located in Broward. If people in Broward want to go to Canes games, then they can get in a car and drive. How do people in Broward watch the Miami Heat? They either make the drive or they don't. The basketball team doesn't pander to them, and...

Imagine you're a recruit. You're on a visit to some school in the SEC. The coach takes you around campus, shows you the dorms, the practice facilities, and weight room. Then he walks you out to the 50 yard line of the on-campus stadium, where the announcer calls out your name and your picture is...

That's a cop-out. I lived in the Mahoney dorms and I attended UM as an undergrad. But that's the OCCC playbook - if you're losing an argument on the facts, just call the other person stupid as loudly as possible and hope it distracts enough people.

When I went to school there, nearly everyone cared about Miami football. And guess what, when the kids can just walk to the stadium, they care a lot more because it becomes a place to party. It connects the students to the team in a way that an NFL Stadium in Miami Gardens will never be able...

Tell me this, smart guy. If there's really no room to build anything on campus, then how does the university plan to expand in the next 30 years for non-football related stuff? What about when they need a new library, or a new building for the law school? You're telling me the University of...

I don't live far from Michael Irvin. If it's good enough for him, it's good enough for me. You're a very emotional man. But, once again, I've been right about pretty much everything in this thread. There's nothing impossible about an on-campus stadium. But trying to convince some of you...

How is it that SMU can build an on-campus stadium, but we can't? Dallas is a bigger, more congested city. University Park is wealthier than Coral Gables. Miami has more fans than SMU. And yet our admin has our fanbase so beaten down and duped that people actually believe building a stadium...

I'm literally right about all of it. Maybe you know that already.

We have 17,000 students. Yeah it's not massive but let's not act like we're Babson College or some ****. We're certainly big enough to have our own ON-CAMPUS stadium. I'm living in Texas these days. TCU and SMU both have stadiums on campus. Both are in Dallas, which is a bigger city and...

Imagine you're a recruit. You're on a visit to some school in the SEC. The coach takes you around campus, shows you the dorms, the practice facilities, and weight room. Then he walks you out to the 50 yard line of the on-campus stadium, where the announcer calls out your name and your picture...

The fact that Miami is one of only two G5 teams without their own stadium is sad. It hurts our recruiting for sure. You don’t get a true college experience if you play for the U. The fact that our admin has our “fans” so beaten down that our own fans shoot down the stadium idea without the...
