The City/Dade county already told UM to forget about Tropical Park and told Donna to cut a deal with FIU in their Tamiami public park. Dade county told UM they are a private school not a public school so no public land. The country shares FIU stadium which meet all the County School board's needs for high school football. If UM ever gets a stadium it will either be a lease like we have with the Dolphins or even worst FIU (sic). If UM gets their own stadium it won't get much help from the City/County especially if UM needs help from the County for eminent domain court issues.
For UM to get their own stadium they would have to raise the money to buy land, build roads and pay for building a stadium by themselves. So if fans don't show up then it bankrupts UM and they eliminate the football program or drop to a lower NCAA division. All because some of you let Noles and Gator get under your skin about attendance insults that wouldn't even stop if we had a new stadium.
No way UM makes more money at Beckham stadium than at SLS now. Also, No way if UM build their own stadium that would cost $500 MILLION for land and stadium construction it would GENERATE REVENUE PROFIT. A stadium would be a bottomless money pit for UM. It would cost more for insurances, stadium maintenance and field upkeep, personnel salary and property taxes than the $4 or $5 million we pay for SLS (per the Miami Herald each year for SLS in that typepad article).
