    "A short period during the game where it rained". So you are actually acknowledging that it actually rained? Look, genius, I've had season tickets, or been a UM student, for 35 years. I've "ever been to Hard Rock". And it makes no ******* difference that "75% of the seats are fully covered...

    Since you are clearly too dumb to understand... There is a context to every number. If you want to learn it, fine. If not, **** off, but I'm certainly not going to sit here and let you spew misinformation and generalizations like sewage. Nobody said anything was "OK". But if you actually...

    Yes, and that's kinda my point. You have to be committed to putting out some basics at a reasonable cost, and then people are willing to play along. I'm in Section 119 in Hard Rock, there is a club underneath. The cheeseburger/fries combo was SIXTEEN DOLLARS and it was terrible. The burger...

    Total dip****tery from you, as is usual. FAMU was the home opener that year. On a Saturday. I'm not even going to bother with you here. I know you know the difference, and I know the trash you spew is performative attention-seeking. Spare us. Why don't you use your time more wisely, by...

    Agreed. But they have 58K undergrads (68K total students) and the stadium only holds about 45K. The math simply doesn't work at the current size.

    It's not about the kids who are currently at Duke. But this could inspire more kids to apply who think "I could never afford Duke". My brother moved to Charlotte a few years ago. Three sons. Very smart kids. They would probably qualify for free Duke tuition, and I hope they go (although the...

    To be fair, a lot of med/law students went to a DIFFERENT undergrad school. Had a lot of friends in law school who, if they went to games, were rooting AGAINST Miami. The reason it's relevant is because Miami has a relatively small undergraduate population (it was less than 9K full-time...

    That is how it is at UCF, but more for stadium-capacity reasons.

    Yes. This is a function of getting in bed with ESPN/ACCN, they really want to show more mid-week games. When I posted attendance numbers for 2016-2018, I realized that ONLY the 2018 UNC game was on a Thursday night. So for 3 years, to the extent that we played on any day but Saturday, it may...

    In college towns, there is a high percentage of fans (and, yes, actual ticket-buyers) who are not TRUE alums. They may be university employees or just people who live in that particular town, but Miami probably has a smaller fraction of "townies" who just become UM fans because there is nothing...

    What in the actual **** are you talking about? The stadium was renovated in 2015 and 2016. At all times that Richt was coaching, the capacity was 65K (not "70K" as you falsely claim). 2016 - FAMU - 60,703 (weak team, but in-state) 2016 - FAU - 57,123 (weak team, but local) 2016 - FSU - 65,685...

    I'm going to be honest. Until we can make the environment PLEASANT, there are going to be impediments. ---I wish we could connect to mass-transit. The MetroRail got students close to the Orange Bowl, but this looooong bus ride from campus is challenging (from what I've been told). I also...

    Yeah, it's a double-whammy. Weak opponent on a Thursday night. I drove down from ATL last year for B-C, as it was the home opener. This year, I sold my tix for less than $20 each, and they are good tickets. I am hopeful that we will have a good turnout for GaTech, but the only real chance we...
