What if you have season tickets there and want to go to a game?Desperately need the tarp/screen thing over the two upper deck end zones.
No brainer.

They signed the best and most recognizable player in the world and a Latin American player to boot.Who cares. That was over 20 years ago? The population growth since then has been insane, as has CFB popularity. The only reason going forward from this point, that we can’t reliably fill in the stadium at at least 70-80% consistently, is because of **** more effort, management, and marketing on behalf of the school period.
Inter Miami games were basically empty but they kept at it, landed Messi, and made it an event, and instantly sold out. There’s no Messi equivalent in CFB recruitment of course, but there’s many many other ways to make the games a trendy event that people want to participate in, be seen at, etc.
No excuses.
You think you can make the Bethune game on a Thursday night an event? They didn't even bring their band.
On a Thursday night? BTW, Thursday was dictated by ESPN/ACCN. That is why all our gametimes are TBD except for Temple, which ESPN2 set for 3:30 pm.Over time, yes.
Announced crowds:Prepare to judge.
What’s the largest turnout we have ever had for a GT game?
I just think they can easily develop ticket exchange systems to mitigate those issues.What if you have season tickets there and want to go to a game?
I thought the Orange Lot tailgate was popping for the A&M game. It is uniquely Miami because the diversity of people, the diversity of food and the diversity of music. Because the students have to bus to the stadium, they all congregate in the same area pre-game. You don't get that at Florida or FSU because the partying is at the frat houses.The key to having a decent crowd at Hard Rock is promotions. $2 beer, hotdogs, free tickets for high school students, free tickets for military and retired military, free tickets for illegal aliens, etc. Unfortunately, Miami has no control over the stadium as renters.
I think the game day experience at Hard Rock sucks. When I go see Miami play, I always pick an away game to go to. That way I get to see the Canes and experience a college game atmosphere.
Divide those numbers in half and you've likely got the "real" attendance.Announced crowds:
2017 56k
2019 54k
2021 48k
I expect a good crowd to watch a 4-0 nationally ranked Miami. Hope the game is at 3:30 not noon.
It looked on TV like 12k were in the seats. Yeah, I know the official count was 40,000. LOL.They signed the best and most recognizable player in the world and a Latin American player to boot.

Had we lost to A&M you would have lucky to have 12k in the seats.
Do you really believe 40,000 were actually there? That 40,000 announced number isn't near accurate for real butts in seats.How many casual fans even knew Miami was playing? This is what makes marketing important
Condensing the crowd makes sense. 40,000 is a solid crowd when there isn’t all that empty space in the lower levels. I know there maybe an argument for devaluing tickets, but we shouldn’t let the stadium look like that.
We might not be Michigan, but there are solutions to do better. Just have to prioritize it.
The optics are bad because cameras focus on visitors side. My guess was 25k.It looked on TV like 12k were in the seats. Yeah, I know the official count was 40,000. LOL.
I wasn’t talking about the BCC game in particular. I was thinking of a number for just an average game. 30,000-40,000 people all spread out isn’t a good look. Especially all those empty seats in the lower deck at midfield.Do you really believe 40,000 were actually there? That 40,000 announced number isn't near accurate for real butts in seats.
Miami season tickets are pathetically cheap compared to our peers and it hasn’t mattered for decades. If price was an issue, explain how these same fans don’t give a crap about basketball where the tickets are dirt cheap compared to other options. Don’t even get me started on the women’s basketball program and how cheap those tickets are.Exactly. Make the games family friendly and cheap. Entertainment value in a spectacular stadium with a good product that anyone can afford.
Unfortunately the U probably tried to milk people for parking, etc.. so they just stay away.
