If you say so. Others on this board have agreed with me previously. This isn’t the first time we’ve had this discussion on the board.

Coincidentally, I’m actually going to be in Auburn this weekend. Looks like I may get stuck there due to the storm hitting Atlanta.

I live in Auburn. Would love to meet a fellow Cane fan if you have time.

Please stop. I know you don’t realize this, but you’re continuing to embarrass yourself.

I inadvertently and incorrectly used the term “bowl game.” Proper term would’ve been “championship game,” since we played in both the Fiesta Bowl and Cotton Bowl prior to the championship game and after the game. We were not the home team because we were the #10 seed.

I was at the Orange Bowl when we lost to Nebraska in 1995. The stadium was 80% red. It was weird. Their fans were weird. Nice but weird.

My question still isnt answered. Im convinced this is why our community isnt growing is bull**** responses like this. I make a comment, at the time I thought was good and get these comments saying that its stupid/ ridiculous. I was wrong i guess but i dont get a clear answer as to why.

"Please stop" my question still isn't answered. If you're so knowledgeable lets hear it. Nothing you have said holds value and it sounds like high school banter. I'm here to learn and support our team if you don't like it **** off.

"Bro just stop, you think a Championship game is a bowl game you don't know ball. How ridiculous of a comment to make. You're embarrassing yourself." This is what you guys sound like.

Maybe we can talk like adults and get somewhere: I get we were not the "home team" as being seeded #10 but does that mean we are not allotted the same number of tickets? It says online we get the same amount. So please tell me: 1)why do you think Indiana had a majority of fans at our home stadium. 2) what we need to do different to get our fans filling our games vs teams hundreds of miles away to pack it instead.

Is it the 800,000 alumni vs our 205,000 take someone mentioned? I really believe we have more fans overall and at home Miami fans would stuff the hardrock to the max. Its what makes sense to me. Again im here to learn and have been reading the previous posts on the topic

You aren't here to learn, you're here to hear yourself talk. It's been discussed ad nauseum why IU fans were willing to spend 4-5k for tickets, while Miami fans were not, especially locally. Keep in mind, IU has NEVER, EVER had a season like this. EVER. There were IU fans that cashed in their 401ks in order to buy tickets and come to Miami. Why? Because there was a unique hunger to see this game, because they don't know if this will ever happen for them again.

Never mind the fact that the allotment was equally distributed, but IU alumni outnumber Miami alumni FOUR TO ONE(and that's a conservative estimate). IU fans, once they committed to coming, were **** near FORCED to buy a ticket, no matter the cost. Compare that to local Miami fans, who could wait the prices out, or watch it from the comfort of their own home.

Even with those issues, Miami wasn't outnumbered nearly to the same extent as Oregon, who were completely swamped at the Peach Bowl. There was more red in the stadium, but there was more than enough Orange for it to be noticeable.

There are answers galore. Most, if not all, possible scenarios have been discussed as nauseum on this site and others. Have you used the search feature like I mentioned earlier?

If you’ve ever been on campus, you know it’s not huge. Couple that with the difficulties and restrictions of building in Coral Gables and you now have the beginnings of ONE of the many scenarios. Do you research, then come at me.

Thanks

Also, there is a shtload of IndianaU alums in the state of Florida, especially in nearby swFla. I have a relative who is a Louisville grad married to a lady who has several relatives who graduated from IU. They live in northern Indiana but also have a place in Marco Island. Huge school with huge alum base living near Hard Rock.

Ive been reading it throughout the night so thank you. I also picked up that the soccer stadium was built relatively quickly from David and many fans were upset we didnt take advantage of it. I dont believe we have to be in the heart of coral gables as previous posts explain how difficult it is for them to approve anything of the sort.

Im not coming at you, if I was you would know. Again I appreciate your response.

With the amount of posts I have made in the small time I have been here, I would say you're wrong.

Besides your first sentence, I appreciate your reply that makes sense. Thanks

Yeah, I think you made that point in your first post.

If you don’t understand that these numbers aren’t anywhere near the same due to UF’s student population size being significantly higher, then I don’t know what to tell you.

HRS also is much easier for alumni/fans to get to, instead of being a college town that people have to drive hours to (with hotels having a two-night minimum), so again, there are a lot of factors.
