Marcus Lemonis firing some shots

I don't get the rate for Marcus. Sure he promotes himself but he cares about football more than most of our other boosters and gives to the program more than most of our former players. Boosters speak as a group, you wouldn't want one booster running their mouth to the media.

Agreed. He’s way off on tropical park though. Hard Rock with a top 10 Miami team is a big home field advantage. See ND beatdown

Completely disagree. The 826 already has exits on both Bird and Miller, and new bypass exits could be built directly into the park, similar to what the Turnpike did with Hard Rock.

They can queue that into it for certain and that’s what they would do but they’d still have to widen those roads at a minimum for off-ramping for the queue along with stretches of highway there and beyond and ancillary roads potentially. People will take a variety of ways to get there and it will be murderous traffic on those secondary roads. They would need a traffic study and preliminary design alternatives for starters.

If it’s a private project, as it’s for a private university, then the road widening could be a problem if there’s a need for property acquisition beyond any right of way areas that the locality would permit this in. Notwithstanding that, I’m assuming that there’s a NEPA concern that will involve environmental mitigation as well. It’s a lot of **** and believe me, it’s a complex, expensive transportation project.

This would take years and years before they could stick a shovel in the ground.
 
I don’t get the “we don’t need our own stadium” crowd.

It boggles my mind. Wonder what USC is doing w/ that extra $69m for naming rights to their stadium or UCLA making part of a $38m naming deal for the Rosebowl.

Wonder how Bama is doing w/ those ticket, parking, and concession stands profits from Bryant-Denny Stadium?

I dunno; some fans vision is so minute & tunneled; I’m hearing ppl say we don’t need a new stadium b/c of “traffic.” LOL. FOH.

I literally have the most expensive stadium IN THE WORLD in my back yard, w/ a brand new basketball arena being built next door, in a small city outside of LA, by one of the busiest airports in the entire world. Guess what? City planning did something about it to mitigate traffic. That’s what planning is all about.

Whether it comes to fruition or not is no never mind to the bull chit I read. Small time thinking gives u small time results.

Go speak to Tottenham Hotspur FC about building a new stadium (or ****nal FC). They're massively in debt now and can't compete in the transfer market because of their vanity project.

Nothing like this is a simple fix in Planning. I don’t think they’re the same situations in terms of infrastructure baselines and funding. Is the new arena by you also by the Forum or Staples Center? Is the ownership the government or a pro sports team?

“We don’t need a new stadium because of traffic” isn’t the same thing as the University of Miami can’t have a new stadium in a location where the cost of improvements to transportation infrastructure will be over a billion dollars plus stadium costs.

Any stadium near campus is the biggest waste of money for primarily 6 or 7 days of football per year.... that too for a school with 11K enrollment. If half of those came to all the ganes, that wouldn't fill one section of a decent sized stadium..
Along with that, anything we build will be a tin can compared to Hard Rock stadium... HRS is amazing comfort and atmosphere for the average fan who doesn't sit in luxury boxes... plus loud home field for rivalry games. The added roof is fantastic..

A good number of our fans come for north of Dade, into Broward and Palm beach county or north. It would be nuts trying to get in with 50K fans for a game.

Why the **** would we want to stick a stadium in the traffic **** hole near campus? I lived on Red Road while in college 20 years ago. It was **** back then... can't imagine now.

There you go with more than enough reasons..

It youre talking about an on campus stadium, or near campus stadium, it doesn’t make sense. You’d be catering to a small group of fans, and making it extremely difficult for many many more to get to the games.

The student section isn’t what made the OB a tough place to play.

Now this guy cares?? Now??!?

He was ****t*ng on the fans when fans were up and arms about Manny.

The law of self interest applies to all.

He reacts and responds an awful lot to tweets. I don’t know if he cares or not but the negative attention he receives online seems to bother him.

I don't like a lot of the new era showboating. You down and you celebrating a turnover? Get rid of the gimmicks and let your play speak for you or balance it with a "I Phucked Up Hat" with a propeller on top. You'll see the hat far more than the chain.

👇One way to interpret this is he is calling out @CanesFootball on behalf of Manuela by implying the change at QB1 with TVD (date doesn't line up however) and/or other lineup changes and/or releasing Flake (again the reporting of prior-to- FSU friction with Columbus Crew v. James) 👇

I use to be in the win and recruits will come camp, Idk about that anymore. But win and the fans will come is 100%. In 2017 that place was packed, even for that end of the year UVA game.
