If at all possible, you want a stadium as close to the campus as possible because it is the UNIVERSITY of Miami football team. Student access should be an issue. The distance the team needs to be driven to get to their own home games, should be an issue.yes 100% serious question.
lol students dont care about the football team as much as you think. theyre not there for sports. theyre there bc its miami and a decent education.If at all possible, you want a stadium as close to the campus as possible because it is the UNIVERSITY of Miami football team.

This is not a pro team. They can't threaten to move unless the city or county helps them build a stadium, which is the reason they have been playing rent a stadium since the OB was built IMO.
BTW, I am not in favor of moving for now. I mentioned the parameters needed in my view to make the move. But at the end of the day, if they built an HRS replica 10 minutes from campus, where do you think they should play 10 minutes from campus or Miami Gardens?
Having a stadium close to the university so it is easier for students to get there is a baseless argument. The university has 10k undergrads out of which maybe 30% and that's generous, are interested in football. For the remaining students who do want to go to the games, it really isn't that hard. The university makes it pretty convenient for them with transportation.If at all possible, you want a stadium as close to the campus as possible because it is the UNIVERSITY of Miami football team.

Presidente Beer ******* BUILT Canes Football my friend.You forgot the warm Presidente beer
WINNING SOLVES SOME OF THIS.The easiest way to increase attendance would be to open the parking lots for tailgating at 7AM like pretty much every single team we play on the road. Canceling all noon kickoff games would also help.
you guys not from SFL may laugh but hes right.Having a stadium close to the university so it is easier for students to get there is a baseless argument.

Regarding the rent a stadium comment, do you think the University owned the Orange Bowl? The city owned it and the university paid rent. The University of Miami has been a tenant since the day they started playing football.
Finally, I don't care where they actually play the games as long as it is convenient to get in and out of, is comfortable, has a good view of the field no matter where you sit, has quality concessions and where I remain dry when the monsoons come. BTW, everything I just mentioned above is what we have now and you think it would be a good idea to move just so students who make up a tiny percentage of actual fans can get there a little easier?
Presidente Beer ******* BUILT Canes Football my friend.
Take your Coors back to Deion and his Buffs.
The stadium's distance from campus is low hanging fruit for anyone wanting to poke fun at a program that doesn't win anymore. All anyone's ever seen us do at HRS is lose but that trend and narrative can be reversed by winning, but until that happens the stadium issue will remain a net negative for anyone who isn't obsessed with tailgating.What is so embarrassing about playing in a stadium that is so easily accessible and is so nice it is worthy of hosting the superbowl every 4 years or so?

I’m laughing b/c of this:

This is what chaps my hide about this fan base; some of ya’ll mofos talk outta both sides of ur mouths.
In the Adidas thread: “I only want what’s in the best interest of the University; so if Adidas is paying, that’s what I roll w/.”
In the Stadium thread after it’s been published, spoken upon regarding the financial benefits of having our own stadium: “Fck dem students, & ***** TVD for commenting on the atmosphere of HRS; I like it b/c it’s convenient for me, & back in 2017….”
I literally can’t w/ some of ya’ll. Just keep it real; u like HRS, not for The Hurricanes, but for ur convenience. No need to pussyfoot around the matter. HRS is built for the financial gain for Mr Ross; kudos to him. There is literally NOTHING about HRS that’s in the mutual benefit of the program. U think we’re the only school playing off campus or at a NFL stadium? Lol. There’s a stark difference between what we got going on at HRS & what other programs like Pitt & Temple have going on w/ their stadiums. Theres a stark difference between what we have going on vs. USC or UCLA have going on; & don’t get it twisted, UCLA has horrible attendance at The RB; but guess what? B/c they are the managing partners of The RB WITH the city of Pasadena, naming rights, & other venue events…yeah, UCLA gets a piece of that bread.
And for the last time; NOT ONE RECRUITS GIVES A FCK ABOUT TENNIS, FORMULA1, OR A SB BEING HELD EVERY 5 YRS AT A STADIUM. That’s not a recruiting pitch; kids want to play in front of raucous crowds, celebrate w/ their peers, they are kids. Stop shoveling the same stupid bull chit to justify ur convenience and pawning it as it’s in the best interest of the school.
Exactly. The carpet baggers just don't want to admit it. They will go down to the bottom of the sea with Stephen Ross and his teal seats, racetrack, tennis stadiums, nfl facility... as long as it means they don't have to drive into Miami proper (for a Miami Hurricanes game...). HaShem forbid another 12 miles or an extra half-hour in their cars, that's too much of an ask.The movement to incorporate stadiums into the center of cities vs. out in the wastelands has been a proven boon. Besides being a local economic stimulus, a stadium at Tropical Park for example, would probably have 25,000 people that could WALK to the games, and another 100k that could bike there or take a 10 minute uber or get dropped off easily, plus public transport etc. Vs. practically ZERO at HRS. Of course only a fraction of them will come each week, which is still something, but it would create a boost and a base to build on, and integrate the team (and the school) deeper into the community. It would absolutely attract new fans and create a much more collegiate atmosphere. Anyone who says differently has an agenda or was dropped on their head too many times. That's the proven blueprint.
This doesn't even take into affect how much more convenient it would be for the 34,000 employees and students at the U to attend.
I think we would draw an extra 10k per game once we found our footing. Gameday would light up the southern part of Miami, it wouldn't be isolated to an industrial wasteland next to the turnpike like HRH. People would feel it. Each week would be an event with aftershocks that didn't live in a bubble.

I believe a porster or two (or a hunna) have taken that position,i've been on an involuntarily hiatus but did someone say that 25,000 would walk to a stadium at Tropical Park? that's about half the attendance of many games.
did i read this correctly? @Empirical Cane
Serious ?; when did the attendance #’s start being juked for HRS/SLS/LS? It was clear that the number announced or publicly given for attendance was not accurate based upon actual bodies at the game.

No, literally no one said that 25,000 would walk to the game. There is just a reading comprehension issue here.
Whhhhhaaaattt? You mean to tell me that the stadium issue won't be solved by one of RVA's cis-polls?Nobody is going down with anything because nobody here determines whether a stadium gets built or not. This is just laughable.
