Just a question for those who regularly attend games...

I spent over 1k to go to the game in Dallas between ticket, pregame alumni party, hotel and food/drink. Spent around the same for FSU game (live in Texas) for brother bachelor party weekend between airfare and air bnb in the grove.

Already cancelled my plans and hotel for the ACC title game and am even on the fence of flying back home to FL for the UF game next year with Europe cruise planned for end of September with girlfriend/fiance.

I have better things to do with my money than travel around and watch them lay eggs. I can do that from my couch and in my underwear for less money.

Perhaps you’re right? Just maybe ...

If all of us continue to show-up, how will the Head Coach and AD know how we really feel?

Please put to rest that tired refrain “Support these kids ...”

The only way the admin will hear us if we stop attending games. Stop giving them our money.

But then again, Blake said those banners were noticed...
 
I will be there at GTECH because I live in Atlanta. If I'm in Miami visiting and they play I am going to the game. To each its own, it was a bad loss but I'm not quitting on the team. They need ppl in seats at home games. It hurts recruiting if not. I can complain, demand changes, and get mad but if I'm not attending games or donating money does it matter??? Team will negative recruit an empty stadium better believe that.

LOL, I was Butch's first game at UCLA in 1995.

It was much better being at the Rose Bowl in 2002 as UM played for the national title...

I was at the Rose Bowl for the NC title. Great fun when James Scott scored on the Pick 6 in front Oregon HC Mike Bellotti. Cornhusker fans gave up. The only downer was Coker calling off the dogs up 34-0 at the half. I understand why but UM should have made a statement and rolled up 60+.

My other Canes SoCal game was the 1990 brawl at the Murph against San Diego State. Wild, emotional game, brawl and all. And, The Rock made his WWE debut against the Aztec mascot.

Was going to VT, after last game that shxt is cancelled. Not wasting my money on bullshxt. Will go to the remaining home games but no away games.
 
Even though I live in Tampa Bay area, I ususally go to 3 home games every year. So far, I have done two. I ususally do two road games for football. I went to Dallas and that stunk. I have no plans to go to any more this year..........In fact, at this point I am reading more about hoops. Go Coach L and his Canes!!!!!

how many of you have altered your plans to go to games the rest of the season(especially as it relates to road games)?

I know I have, I was thinking about going to BC and a home game at the Rock, but after the UVa debacle, Im like 'nah'.

Yeah, I know, I know Im a terrible, disloyal fan. But I just cant' watch this in-person, especially after going to Dallas for the LSU whipping

I do wonder how home attendance will be for our remaining games. Ive been told by more than a few fans they are done with this season and they wouldn't be traveling to any more games. So Im far from the only one. But you hear all the time that college football/athletics is a business, right? Well, whats taking place right now can't be good for the UM bottom line(in terms of the athletic department). You'd think - or hope - that if there is a significant decline that the higher ups would notice

As for the banners, to me, Im not huge on them either way( although I do find them amusing, I cant lie) but sometimes those are just written off as messages from the lunatic fringe(again, that's how it's perceived by some, not necessarily what I think) and I wonder how effective they really are. But a steep decline in the bottom line - yeah, to me that absolutely gets peoples attention.

Right now, the offensive product is well...offensive. It's boring, bland and unwatchable. Forget being unproductive, its just hard to watch. Our defense I can watch all day, love how they do things and the passion they have. But if this unit ever gets so frustrated by how little help the recieve on the other side of the ball and pack it in - look out, things could get REAL ugly. Im being dead serious, I don't see a for-sure win the rest of the schedule with the way the offense is performing

So yeah, I'll be watching intently, as I said before Im a glutton. But in terms of spending resources, time and money to travel thousands of miles, not till that offense is fixed. I can't be the only one who feels that way

Listen bro...we had a crew that would attend 2-3 away games a year & we all had season tickets. That stopped long ago..Shannon era. We tried again during Golden’s era...had to stop again after the **** show at ND.

Last year they went up to the ACC champ game without me bc I knew we were going to get destroyed but I reserved a room for LSU then I remembered spurrier saying he preferred to play UGA early bc richt always had someone suspended plus the end of last years debacle so I canceled the room.

When we lost to LSU...we all made a vow that we will not attend another UM road game until we win the NC.

I’m so close to doing this for home games bc I’m tired of throwing money down the drain.
 
I'm going to the remaining home games because I like spending time with my dad, and I was going to go to VT/ACC championship/ bowl game, but now I won't.

I went to 10 games last year. It'll end up being 5 this year, as I had to miss a game at home.
 
Look I watched Appy St. vs Arky St. last week on a friggin' Tuesday, you think I'm not going to see Miami live if I have the chance?
 
Had a trip planned to Georgia tech, called and canceled that during the 4th quarter of the UVA game.

One thing I'm thankful for is Canes fans aint like phucking Cubs fans. Past the beginning of the end now, next mediocre hire coming.

Cubs fans suck and I live in Chicago. I’m a Rays fan tho so I can’t say their fans are any better.

a TON of fans said it was beyond class that miami did that especially husker fans

we won a LOT of people on the fence about miami with that
 
I'm done spending money on this crap, I typically do at least one game a year. I live in Atlanta, but with the performance at the end of last year and the crap we've watched most of this season I just don't think they deserve my financial support.
