How many fans do you think we will have?

IMO, all the games aside from the championship should be in campus.

Exactly. Higher seed gets the home game advantage The real fans with season tickets can’t spend that kind of money to travel.

Do it like the NFL. Home games until
The Champion Game. I predict this becomes the way the NCAA does it within 2 years.

Plus, the twelve best reams regardless of conference should be in. Forget the smaller conferences- Notre Dame should have been in this year.

Go Canes!

It’s gonna be a morgue in there. Good for us after last week. Zero wind, zero noise. A nice, calm, offensive friendly environment for our QB who doesn’t exactly thrive in chaos. I expect Beck to play very well. We just need to find out a way to protect him. I was very concerned with the seemingly lack of preparation last week. A&M did exactly what they always do on 3rd down and we had zero answers for it. The optimist in me is gonna chalk that up to A&M being literally one of the best 3rd down defenses of the last decade (it’s true) and us being a little overwhelmed by the environment.

Carson and Shannon, just figure out a way to get me to 20. If you can get me to 20, I’ll be in that ***** chewing my nails in the 4th quarter cause it’ll be a good football game and we’ll have a **** good chance to win.

The problem with Beck is he is a decisive qb who wants to get the ball out quickly. When he makes the right reads it’s awesome and when he doesn’t it’s Louisville

Ward was the opposite when the first read was there he would trust the protection and go for big play hunting

I was at the SMU game. There was at least 10k there for that game. I can’t imagine less than that for a playoff game when the tickets are relatively cheap. A lot of Canes fans in Dallas.

Now, if we win that game, I expect the semi final in Arizona to be a rough showing from both fan bases. A lot to ask Miami and Georgia/Ole Miss fans to travel to the other side of the country for another neutral site game. It’s actually ridiculous.

Especially on a Thursday night
 
15,000 rowdy U fans is equal to 30-45k fans from most other fan bases. I’m sure I’m like most of y’all in the sense that I get sick and tired of hearing this stuff week after week, year after year. “Miami fans don’t support their team”, “Look at how empty their stadium is”, “Canes fans don’t travel” Ha Ha Ha Hee Hee Hee. These comments aren’t funny and they don’t hurt our feelings. It sure doesn’t seem to effect our top 10 recruiting classes every year. It doesn’t have any bearing on our ability to win, either. Is it ideal? No. Do we miss the raucous environment from the OB back in the day? Absolutely. At the end of the day though, CFB folks(especially our rivals) think this is some big “GOTCHA” tactic they can use against us in recruiting but it has ZERO impact.

We all love the Playmaker, but your suggestion is that there will be a lot of people there in the stands because he last played for the Cowboys 25 years ago, some may have become casual fans of us, and he will be on the sideline? I'd daresay that's a stretch, a big one at that, for most of his fans are likely on fixed incomes at this point. Anyone making their decision based on only that, I'd daresay is a bit weird.
 
I almost purchased two tickets the day after the win for $800. Prices then jumped to $2200 for similar seats and are now back until $800. I’ll be waiting to see if I can get them for $600 total. Expect 40-50k OSU fans and 30-40k UM fans with a good number of empty seats in the upper decks.

Why would it be weird to represent the school of one most beloved players that helped bring you three chips. It is a stretch for you to assume th most of his fans are on fixed incomes too. But it was just a suggestion we won’t know till kickoff.

Tickets in the section where I’m sitting (2nd level tier club seats on Miami side) are down 20-30% from when I bought 6 days ago

This is an honest question, I'm not doubting you. Were there really 10,000 Miami fans at SMU? Their stadium only seats 32,000. I watched that game on my phone at my kid's soccer game so I wasn't watching that closely so I couldn't tell, and there is ZERO chance I'm watching that game again because I like my mental health where it is now.
