You missed the point champ. The only worthwhile stadium option is to eventually (ie: many many years from now) build something on campus and the only chance in **** to do that (10% chance) is to acquire the land adjacent to campus and build something that is amazing but scaled down. I'm in...

Look, I know its a long shot but if they bought up the homes just north of Mahoney/Pearson there are a lot of creative ways to get a stadium built. Obviously that would require years of acquisitions, lots of money, and then the political will to make a stadium happen. Maybe it’s only a 35k...

I don’t think you’re not one of the guys clamoring for a new stadium but why would UM a) want a stadium that isn’t close to campus once again and b) one that there is practically zero chance UM “owns” (ie: don’t get all these mythical financial benefits people seem to think comes from a...

Hopefully you at least stayed at a Holiday Inn Express last night like the sneaker guy that doesn't live in Miami, doesn't have season tickets, hasn't been to a game in HRS since the renovations, didn't attend UM, has no real estate experience, doesn't know the meaning of ROI, etc; yet KNOWS...

I have financed and developed well in excess of $1B in every asset class of real estate at every part of the capital stack. What are your credentials for this conversation?

^^^ The two guys that know absolutely nothing about real estate and don't live in South FL but have the most to say. Classic CIS.

Northwestern is building a new 35k seat stadium at a cost of $800M. The major differences is that they owned the land already and just knocked down the old stadium, have an endowment 15x the size of Miami's, have the extra $30M a year vs the ACC in conference money, and had a cornerstone gift...

Joining the SEC/B10 is not dependent upon a stadium and any additional revenues from that potential move would be plowed back into the sports programs (including adding more sports like softball and women's lacrosse). The reality is that the University should be buying all of the properties...

If it's acquiring land in some location a considerable distance from campus (ie: old site of OB) then it would likely be an irresponsible use of $1B+. The only thing that for sure makes building a stadium a viable option would be if it was on land adjacent to campus b/c the land is where the...

I really don't think you understand the concept of ROI so we'll just agree to disagree.

In a world of sunshine, rainbows, and unlimited money we should buy the land around the UM campus. Then UM could build an on campus stadium and increase the size of the university. Unfortunately, we don't live in that world and we have to deal with the reality that there isn't $2-3B of spare...

LOL that replacing 50+ year old dorms with new dorms that pay for themselves is anything remotely close to building a depreciating asset like a stadium. PS: they aren't having an easy time raising $150M for an on campus all sports facility and you want to raise 10-15x for a stadium that is...

Of course, money is the only real obstacle, and if UM had access to unlimited funds the school could/should buy all the houses north of campus (200 +/-) and buy Riviera golf course west of campus and double in size. Buying up the land would probably be a great 50 year plan for UM .... the only...

You’re really good at … A) changing the narrative to fit your argument. Capital improvements to 50+ year old state owned/funded facilities have no relevance to the UM situation. B) thinking you are the smartest guy in the room. My guess is you’re an attorney with less than 10 yrs experience.

So now the solution for the university with a measly $1B endowment is to become a commercial property developer? or are you expecting some donor developer to spend $5B to redevelop an area in Dade (not near campus once again) including a $1B+ gift to UM for a stadium so they can make money off...

Yes we would be better off with our own stadium but the $1-2B needed to achieve that would make it a stupid investment for the university.
