Hard Rock Stadium view

That partial roof is going to make a really, really big difference. Looking forward to it.

I believe you are correct. I just hope it makes a significant difference. Need home field advantage badly.

Both look great. I guess I'm still surprised that the roof panels aren't covering more of the field at HRS.

The panels will basically cover all the seats, but leave it open over the field. That's what you want - any more and you might as well have a dome.

Looks like the visitor sideline and first twenty or so rows will be in the sun no matter what.

And that was done on purpose

And will be a huge advantage for day games when the visiting team gets a good hour plus of sun in their face while we are in the shade

HRS' new overhang incorporates design elements from some of the premier soccer stadiums around the world. No surprise when you look at future scheduled events, numerous elite soccer clubs are coming to HRS to play exihibitions.

The new overhang isn't just going to keep noise inside the stadium, it was designed to focus crowd noise directly on to the playing field. If they designed/built it correctly, it will create an atmosphere where a smaller crowd of 30K-40K can sound like a much larger audience.

Imagine the sound at full capacity...If I had a small kiddo, I'd bring the ear muffs to protect them just in case.

Probably the most underrated part about the new renovations. This will help us for day games.

Arrowhead for KC holds the record for loudest NFL game correct???

We went from playing in a bland dump of an NFL stadium to one of the most awesome stadiums in all of football. That roof will make an incredible difference in the sound levels of that building. If CMR can win games, this thing will feed off itself and we will have an incredible home field advantage. I am fcking pumped and jacked about this! I'm so psyched, I'd love to bust someone in the jaw!

If you're relying on architecture to provide your homefield advantage then you're grasping at straws. Hopefully we're in a position here where it enhances the advantage of having actual asses in seats. That said, Seattle fans are by far no more passionate than any other solid NFL city or big time college so the architecture of both their college and pro venues certainly helps take their noise to Arrowhead type levels.

I wouldn't say relying on it. Fact is, 50K in this new stadium will be louder than 75K in the old stadium. That's an advantage. When the Orange Bowl was packed for say FSU in 1994, it made a difference. That place was unreal. Atmosphere certainly helps, and these renovations help the atmosphere. Add to all of that a REAL coaching staff and you will see a bigger home field advantage than we have seen in 12 years.

Agree but that starts with the baseline of 50k. All I'm saying is that we could play inside of a sealed tin can with 6 inches between the players benches and the stands and 25k for a nooner against Syracuse still won't be a homefield advantage. That said, I obviously do believe that we will finally have a real homefield advantage for at least the big games even after the novelty of the renovations and a new coach wears off. Can't beat that it happened at no cost to us either.

Even when we get 40K, that'll be a heck of a lot louder than 40K in the old JRS. We're going to LOVE this place.

Arrowhead for KC holds the record for loudest NFL game correct???

I believe Seattle broke the record last season.

So not too long ago we had a president content with losing, the worst stadium situation in college football, the worst coach in college football, **** facilities and no IPF. The program started to feel doomed.

All within a couple years Shalala's gone, Golden's gone and replaced by a proven winner, stadium renovations with potential be one of the loudest around if we can fill it, and an IPF facility in the works as well as upgraded facilities. So much positivity around the program right now. Can't wait for the only **** talking opposing fans throw at me being "But you didn't even go to the school"

Like the new stadium, the problem is that it is in Miami Gardens, which will always be an issue for some of us who grew up going to the OB. Still, hope it helps us win ball game. Ideally each bit of excitement: new coach, renovated stadium, improved attendance, etc... builds on the the last and the whole is better than the sum of the parts.

What the fck is Parrotnose doing spamming every thread with that same video? Rok's got this **** under control.

Parrotnose's recruiting expertise consists of monitoring Coach Kool's Twitter and then posting videos of anyone Kool follows.

And watching the weekly episode of The New Jersey High School Sports Spectacular on loop for at least 25 repetitions. Not going to find that hidden gem for Kool to take a look at from Cherry Hill with any less of an effort.

Some people are cursed no matter where they go .... she went to head up the Clinton Foundation ... guess what's happening!!

[FONT=&amp]From an article about the changes:

The Dolphins also are hoping to increase their home-field advantage by making Sun Life Stadium louder. [/FONT]

[FONT=&amp]“We did a lot of sound studies,” Garfinkel said. “One of the goals was to try to make it as loud as we can. So we wanted the acoustics to keep the sound in the stadium as opposed to absorb the sound. With the roof canopy, it actually bounces the sound back down. It will be a very loud environment in here when the fans are loud. And that was important. I don’t know that we can ever duplicate or replicate the environment at the Orange Bowl. The Orange Bowl was a unique, special place, but certainly to try to make this as intimate and loud as we can was something we took a very hard look at.”

Here's a simulation of the sound, with the sound reflecting panels:

There should be no more talk of an on-campus stadium for Miami. This yard now is top-notch in every way. Just gotta win some ballgames..
