Oh my gosh, not only did I hurt your precious feelings, but I had the unmitigated gall to suggest discussing a top again in a year. No prediction, no Joe Namath guarantee, just an innocuous invitation to revisit a topic in the future. I am such a bad person. You are sooooo good to point out...

You must be 5 years old. I call someone a narcissist, and now you're trying to call me the same name. Funny. Just keep insulting UM sports. I'll keep supporting my alma mater, no matter how many people are in the stands. I'm still soooo sorry that I hurt your feelings.

Still a touchy subject, I have friends who live there who say that sometimes even contractors get ticketed when they go to do plumbing work at houses.

I didn't make a mistake. You are clueless. I'm not going to prolong this much longer, but I'll just point out the obvious. The UM undergrad enrollment has NEVER been 8,500. The number that I cited was ALWAYS the full-time main-campus number. There was, and always has been, a specific reason...

Yeah, the stadium was supposed to go where "Lake" Osceola now is. The "Lake" used to be a canal. UM dredged out all that dirt, sold it to one of the builders of one of the causeways, and used the money to finish the Merrick Building. Basically, I think we agree. It's 99% certain to never...

Only one of us is out there searching for posts from years ago. And it ain't me. About half of your 99 porsts are crazy responses to me, and the fact that I corrected you one time. Grow up.

See, there it is. You're obsessed with whether your mistake was "meaningful" or "meaningless". Meanwhile, I don't know you from Adam, as I pointed out, I corrected THREE posters who didn't know how to Google before porsting stats. The other two posters didn't lose their sanity and start...

Still so mad that you had to post 3 times in a row. Did the website slow you down and tell you that you needed to wait 44 more seconds before attacking me again?

Now you are giving me a hard time for supporting my alma mater's sports teams? Wow, I'm sure that is a well-thought-out opinion. You are SOOOOO angry that I corrected you about Saban's record. By the way, THREE posters got Saban's record wrong, and I corrected all three. You were just the...

Very simple answer. Coral Gables was the first planned community in the United States. George Merrick planned the whole city, and the University was supposed to have a football stadium. Hence, the "fixation". Having said that, I realize that things have changed and that it is incredibly...

Funny. Meanwhile, I'll be at the UM-UCF hockey game tonight and tomorrow, supporting my alma mater, while you will be wasting your time misquoting Saban's record and researching my posts from years ago.

Look, I know I criticize a lot of your posts, and I'm not saying that you don't have a point here, but can we just think about this for a minute? First, on behalf of your argument, yes, college (and pro) sports attendance is on the decline. But on the other side of this, the "half-filled"...

I have no idea whether "Purple Hunter" is male or female, but he/she is far too mentally fragile for me to waste my time.

You are a hilarious little butt-hurt crybaby. The thread is about building a stadium and how many people will show up. And, yes, about 8,500 full-time main-campus undergrads pay the Athletic Fee. But, hey, keep it up. Keep researching old threads because you are mad at me for correcting you...

The problem wasn't soccer, it was baseball. And the fact it was built in the 1980s. The original plan was for retractable seating so that you could still have BOTH football and soccer sidelines. Soccer seats would have started up higher. But the plan to include baseball screwed stuff up...

You do realize, there is a difference between the Liberty City soccer stadium and what will be built in Melreese, correct? They are not building a 25K stadium in Melreese.

You're just doubling down on stupid. You were comparing the "on-campus" students at Vanderbilt and Duke (which includes grad-law-med students) to Miami (which has no grad-law-med students living on campus), and you were not bothering to include students who live within 5 miles of the campus...

You are clueless about the statistics. Absolutely clueless. You have no idea what you are talking about, because you are simply quoting numbers that you googled. First, the only students at UM who are required to pay the Athletic Fee (and thus get to go to football games) are the full-time...

Look, with all due respect, a lot of you guys just don't understand. First, a well-built soccer stadium is very loud and very comfortable. I have season tickets for Orlando City, and it only seats between 25K and 30K, yet the soccer players from all over the MLS say that it is one of the...

Read this Miami Herald article on the Mas brothers and the possibility of moving the soccer stadium to Melreese... "With far more real estate in Melreese, the Beckham group would have enough room for parking garages, practice soccer fields and possibly a stadium large enough to accommodate the...
