My honest opinion: It was a great atmosphere. I don't think anybody in the stadium sat for the entire game. Loud the whole game. Definitely a home field advantage. But not as electric as 2017. And the stadium wasn't completely packed.

I went on my rant in the ticket thread but Miami's ticket pricing for this game was absolute bulls*** and it was the reason that stadium wasn't packed to the brim.

It was completley filled to start the game. I saw no open seats and I usually look. If you did they were probably getting food or going to the bathroom.

north west corner had probably 100 open. South upper endzone same, but those were points we *****ed about earlier in the week- $300+ for alcohol-free last row upper deck tickets is redic.

I was having a heated discussion with a good friend and canes alum where we came to the conclusion that ticket pricing gradient doesn't follow the standard supply-demand curve.

Teams like Miami and our out of touch AD have found out that rich and upper middle class people pay disproportionately MORE than lower income people. So to say, a 93% increase in single game ticket price in 8 years is not out of the question, its literally just a step-change in target demographic.

So those $300+ dollar tickets that used to go to low-to-middle class families and the general canes hooligan now go to a household with a combined annual income over $250k. A butt sits in that seat, and that particular butt has more expendable change to buy $25 drinks, $18 hotdogs, and a few beers, as compared to the butt of 8-10 years ago.

The school is OK with this. College football is OK with this. I mean ****, we got player to pay now, and I didn't see any admin taking pay cuts so, it boils down to the consumer. But they have said (similarly to Publix) that instead of a marginal increase in cost to the standard person, we will just jack up the prices, mimicking a premium product, and change who sits in that seat.

This is why we will have 30k fans next week. There are plenty of people who would go, but the school has made it a point to target a higher-margin consumer base, which generally is fair-weather, and has a lot of options on a Saturday day/night.

This is also why I thought it wasn't really that loud last night. The people who can afford to get a single game ticket in my section (North sideline club) were paying $500-600 per. (I mean I lost my voice but I got season tickets, I would never pay $600 for a single game Miami Hurricanes non playoff ticket.)

These people don't scream.

The people who scream and get rowdy are paying $200-250 max.

I was wondering why it seemed pretty quiet to me... I thought my hearing was ****ed up, but it really was not that loud. A step up in revenue is a step down in atmosphere. Thanks, bean counters.
 
I sat in section 348 in 2017 and last night. 2017 was feral. My ears rang for hours. Last night 2 old people told me to sit down because I was blocking their view. I politely told them the ADA row was in the front if they had trouble standing. It was a rich old crowd who didn’t really yell for long. I’d say 20-30% of the row was cheering/standing on third down

It definitely was packed, I was there. Maybe a few empty seats but nothing noticeable. It wasn’t as electric as 2017, I’ll give you that

****, that's disappointing. My section (149) was standing the entire game (with the exception of the absurd 4-minute commercial breaks). It wasn't 2017 levels, but it was loud. There were a few moments where I couldn't hear the person next to me.

Only if you join ad free. I have been lurking on my PC without the upgrade and it was okay. Really not bad at all. Then last night, using my phone, the site became useless and frankly impossible to use. Especially after I went to the upgrade page and backed out because they did not accept PayPal.
Once I upgraded, it was great.
Truth be told. This site is for paying members only.

Why so nasty? If I was a moderator, you would be history.

Only thing worse than seeing all those ads pop up on my phone is seeing even more GARBAGE POSTS pop up on my phone every time you made another post about this. Why don’t you find out where you can buy a life with PayPal. Then complain to that site. Loser.

I'm not sure why posters haven't figured out that there are really good Free Ad blockers out there. 🤷‍♂️
 
The reality is this may be the last ranked opponent we play at home all year.

I think there's going to be a lot of people at this game. I complained before the Notre Dame game that ticket prices were absurd coming from the school. But because this game was not supposed to be important the ticket price value for USF is incredibly good. $50 upper deck is great value. Lower bowl for $100.

Buy the tickets. Pack the rock.
