Attendance

[DTP]

Nope got them mid last week.

Cool. Why not do everyone a favor next home game and post a link to all these $5 tickets for people here to get? Surely that will get more people there.

 

[BigDikDaddyFromCincinnati]

In an ideal world for these games only sell the lower levels I agree.

I also feel like the school or stadium could do more to help the pregame experience and make it a full day instagramy event for people. Something like a giant Oktoberfest-esque tent set up in one or two of the lots for shade, with food vendors and places to hang.

Instagramy. Hilarious term, yet a perfect descriptor.

Does anyone believe the stadium will be half empty on November 23 as the undefeated 10-0 Miami Hurricanes face Wake Forest?

Point being its Ball State (No offense) the crowd will be just fine against VT, FSU, Duke and Wake Forest.

 

[BradTheBearKiller]

They need to sell out only the lower level like USF does in Tampa or something. The attendance on TV looked to be 500 people. I was watching with UF alumni. The gators were 80% full at halftime and after the mass exodus still had 30X more fans in the stands. Something needs to happen to get butts in the seats or at least fool people better. Top 10 freaking team….. ridiculous

Free tickets with a whopper like they did in the berry berryyy early eighties pipo!

 

[Go Canes!!]

There were tickets going for as low as $1-8 all around the upper bowl and as low as $11 in the lower. If you chose to sit closer (which I did) than obviously seat aren’t going to be at that price. But rain delay aside it is disappointing that the fans don’t seem to want to hold their end of the bargain.

This program has failed to hold up their end of the bargain for the better part of two decades.

Judging the fans should be done a little bit more carefully than you’re doing it on this thread.

 

[Shooter McGavin]

Miami rolled 62-0 with over 700 yards on offense and people have the nerve to ***** about the attendance, Martinez, Cam having an “off day”, Kinsler and Samson not being ready, etc. You all are ******* miserable human beings.

Nah, more like a quarter empty I'd say.

 

[TheOriginalCane]

Why Miami refuses to tarp the upper endzones and move those people to the Tv side of the broadcast is beyond me. It’s so ridiculous. It looks terrible.

Do you actually know how the stadium was renovated? And the difference between premium seating and "the cheap seats"? There is not an easy answer here.

you, you know there was a 4-5 hr weather delay right? the game started when it normally ends. people have plans and **** and can't just wait all day for a game. this isn't SEC where all the tickets are to students that have nothing to do in life.

Your dumb as rocks holy ****

 

[pyhooya]

people compare living in Alabama vs Miami for where to go... **** go to a home game.. id rather player for a sold-out stadium than at Miami.. I was telling my wife how embarrassing it is as we sat at the game... by halftime the stadium was a ghost town.... then to add to it.. our cooler got robbed of all the waters/soda's after the game.. even stole my wife's Publix buffalo dip that was opened lol...

when recruits show up you wanna see that place packed shoulder to shoulder and you see huge sections with no one in them in the Lower bowl...

The lightning delay didn't help.. Hopefully for the Friday night game vs VT its packed.

Did you see a guy that looked like this around?

 

[Jolson1927]

It was a sleeper game against Ball St. with a massive rain delay so that played a major factor. Beyond that, I just don’t see the point of beating this dead horse week after week, year after year. Hard Rock is never going to be The Shoe, Bryant-Denny, Tiger Stadium, and on and on. It is what it is. In my opinion, the stadium experience is mostly for the fans anyways. The three most important things to these kids is winning, NIL deals, and getting to the league. Playing in front of a sellout crowd every week is like icing on the cake. As long as we continue to win(which we are) and recruiting isn’t effected by it(which it isn’t) then there’s no since worrying about it. In an ideal world they would have never torn down the OB. In an ideal world we’d be able to build a small, on-campus stadium. This is the current situation we’re left with though, and honestly, if the team keeps playing like this I’m good.

Very smart take…

Uh huh. Why weren't the gator alumni watching their own game?

 

[NCCanefan]

Very smart take…

What else you going to do in Gainseville or Starkville or any of the other nowherevilles?

 

[swampcougar1]

Starting thread complaining about attendance while watching on tv. Could we say hypocrit

 

[Crimpy]

I understand it was only Ball st, but if ppl don’t show up when tickets are dang near free then when will they. We have a legit Heisman Trophy contender, an exciting offense to go with said player, and a defense that’s playing great without it’s best player, and apparently that’s still not enough to make it to games???

I think it's going to take some time for that constant feeling of impending doom we've all had for the last 15 years to go away. For as great as we've looked, we're all still subconsciously wondering if it's really real this time, or if Lucy is going pull that football out from under us once again.

I wish they would cover the top end zones. I think it looks cool and the stadium would be the right size for games like this.

 

[The U is back to work]

Do you actually know how the stadium was renovated? And the difference between premium seating and "the cheap seats"? There is not an easy answer here.

The original renderings of the renovation had UM games with a drape or tarp across one of the upper endzones. They originally planned for this.

 

[canecrazy23]

Yes, the Rutgers and Temple "conference games" in the '90's and '00's were excellent times to stretch out over 3 rows of seats and get a tan, but we're supposed to worry about it now against a MAC team with a 2.5 hour lightning delay? GTFOH

Miami is not Florida, Ped State, or any other huge state program nor will it ever be. It's part of the magic of the Canes that they compete and quite often, excel over such programs. F them and if attendance bothers you so much, buy a ticket and go yourself. I've been a season ticket holder for nearly 35 years now and nothing makes me roll my eyes more than this discussion, particularly by people not going to the games.

Agree 100%

I'm going on 42 years season ticket holder and this attendance crying is getting so old. LOL

Yo man, sorry about that. We was famished after the weather delay.
