All the red P would be parking areas that are already in place. I still think we could use the fields in the top left corner, possible even black too the baseball field in the top left corner as it is never used.

The Tropical Park idea is at least doable. I also believe that the Marlins will be gone in a few years so there’s always a chance that stadium could get redone for football.

This is also one of our best bets too

we need to make Jeter think this market is not worth the effort and get them to move the team. re do Marlins park for football and it’s on

The stadium will be designed with a roof and the firm they are working with built the Rams SOFI stadium and the Dallas COWBOYS stadium as well so believe me they are swinging for the fences with this one.

Are they talking about a real roof/dome with air conditioning or like an open air roof like SOFI or Hardrock

I'm not one to deny that it'll happen, but am a little less enthusiastic than some because of the very issue you bring up - stadium design. Most new stadiums, even NFL, in the last couple of decades are disappointing in one important aspect. They drag the sidelines away from the field and the lower levels are too flat. If we could get something like Oregon's I would be thrilled. Fans close to the field and steep slope. But something like Baylor? No. UCF? No. I want a real home field advantage. So it doesn't have to be an OB replica, but something that is tight and intimidating. That, with partial cover similar to Hard Rock that reflects noise? Even better.

Of course whether we could actually draw more fans there than Hard Rock is another matter and a valid debate, considering where the center of population is in the metro and that UM students can never remotely fill a stadium.

Great points. There are lines outside of the playing field that pretty much indicates how close stands can be.. take it to the max and have the first row a bit higher for intimidation and noise capture.

Hard Rock did what it could to move seats closer but they still kept them wide for soccer which is a shame.

NC State did a good job getting seats close, especially in the corners..

but Autzen is better as the stands are not divided into multiple decks... more of a wall of people..

btw building something new in Miami that takes up a ton of space to use 7 times a year is dumb.. If its like 200M Id rather add 5M to pay for better coaches for 40 years

Space lol. Are you actually a fan/go to games?
 
If you are going to build in CG or S. Miami, I am fine with making it tiny. It would help the footprint, the traffic and no empty seats on TV. I do think Hard Rock for big guests would be ideal. Broward fans can get there. Traffic, parking, etc not a problem and how often do we host marquis guests? It’s rare. A small stadium on campus or a metro stop away would cater to the small student population and give Miami what it needs.

They contractually can not leave that stadium for decades

So it’s better to rent than own... so Joe Robbie rented his stadium. So I should sell my house and tent from now on. I know that there is more than one big player that feels that they can help the U have it’s own stadium without breaking the schools budget... I’m sure they are working on this issue as we debate whether to stay or to give Mr. Ross a well deserved middle finger.
BTW...
Broward County doesn’t own Canes football.

Joe Robbie built his own stadium b/c the OB was falling apart and the county/city wouldn't make the necessary improvements. We're renting in a state of the art basically brand new stadium. Not a very good comparison.

As for your house, maybe it does make sense for you to rent rather than own "smart guy". By the time you pay for the upkeep, interest, taxes, remodeling every 6-8 years, etc in many cases it would be much better putting the initial money into investments rather than owning.

Nothing is as cut and dry as you think it is yet you make proclamations like you actually know WTF you're talking about when you have done no research.

marlins are contractually forbidden to leave like for 30 years, until the bonds are paid.

they aren't going anywhere

Yeah, yeah, yeah. I know. It’s not gonna happen. We get it. You’re the smart ones who think it through while everyone is a sucker. Cool. But for those who will hold out some hope for it to actually happen are you down with an OB replica or do you want something totally different? Stadium deniers can play too. Just pretend they announced a site and budget for a new stadium. Mark me down as an OB replica. I will never, ever, ever let the memories of that place leave me and if we can replicate that at even 50% I’m good.

Great idea to discuss. But, darn man, who is the lady in your avatar?

Will they make sink shaped urinals to keep the authentic feel of peeing in a sink like at the OB?

They will NEVER be able to duplicate that unforgettable nostrils flaring, nose burning OB Urine stench in the bathrooms

Thank Gawd

The Baylor stadium is also a good model built in a small space with limited access - they built a bridge over the river from campus and it is surrounded by highway and interstates. Very limited parking area outside the stadium.

Very well engineered flow of traffic and walkways and utilization of pre-existing parking.

It's also the open-ended bowl design similar to the Orange Bowl. Wasn't all that expensive to build. I think the whole project cost them $250-260M
