We are not doomed to have horrible attendance. There is a gap between 80-100k and 25k for a home game. Miami admin has to get creative. And if yall u can do is repeat the same tired old tropes as a way to say it will never change, you are also part of the problem.
They told the El Salvador president crime was gonna be forever bad. He just went in and put all the gang members in jail. Now all u hear human rights people crying and the people give him a 90% rating.
There are alot of things we can do different, unconventional things. Make the tailgate longer for example. Not sure what the regulations are on that so may not be possible or maybe habe a section for vendors and open it earlier. How about have people perform instead of the god awful band.
We have to be different because we are different. Miami is an event town. Make the games into an event then.
Amazing how it's always "The school has to do this, this and this" and no matter what, the goalposts keep moving, to justify our cheap, lazy fanbase from doing anything to support the program. Two years ago it was "I'm not going because the product is terrible and the school is cheap". School addressed those issues, and fans still find a way to complain. Now the tickets are too expensive, but a lot of those same fans will pay to watch the Dolphins at a higher price point, no matter what that product looks like. There aren't enough sideshow attractions in the world to make our fans show up to a game against an FCS opponent. It's borderline impossible to have a schedule attractive enough to get fans, most of whom aren't stakeholders to show up in sufficient numbers, because if you were to build that schedule, it's likely you would also be scheduling yourself out of the national championship hunt, which would then cause those same fans to not show up anyway. Keep in mind this same exact fanbase had a program that almost went an entire decade without losing a home game, was always in the hunt for titles during that period and played top end schedules, and STILL didn't show up unless it was a HUGE game.
By the way, not to make this a political thread, but do you know WHY the human rights organizations you scoff at have a problem with what's going on in El Salvador? It's because the government of that country aren't addressing the root cause of crime, they are unilaterally locking people up and it's becoming obvious that basic human rights aren't protected. Right now, you can arrest someone there, not tell them why they are being arrested and then detain them indefinitely. Of course if you completely disregard basic human rights, you can have a low crime rate. The USSR proved that, they had **** near a 0% crime rate back in the day, because rights didn't exist there. The issue is that in exchange for that, everyone has to be willing to trade in their basic human rights and that's not an appropriate trade.
