Our Glorious Athletic Director

[AntwanJ306]

Are people really saying the Renovations at Sunlife are good for Miami football?

Dumb is dumb.

Tulane is about to play their first game at their NEW STADIUM in arguably a tougher spot to put a stadium. We need a place of our own. Period point blank.

Groundbreaking comments. Cutting edge. Now, do you have a plan for getting that place of our own?

Why should I have plans? Explain this to me. Everyone else in the country is moving forward and we're not even ATTEMPTING it. In fact our AD is so **** made he thinks someone is going to walk up to his door with a pre-made stadium to be built.

I take it your a Golden support as well.

That's ok he'll fail all by himself.

I've said many times that I don't think Golden is the guy and should be fired if things don't get better this year. If that's the level of your assumptions, then we just won't converse anymore.

As for having plans, you cavemen act like you just thought of this topic this week. The stadium issue has been here since 1983, when Howard wanted a new stadium. The school has pounded their heads against the wall trying to find a reasonable solution, and it doesn't exist. But since Blake commented on it this week, then he, personally, must get out there and try to find a new solution, one that hasn't been there in 30 years of looking.

Like I said, cutting edge.

In dopey cane fan land, it's your job as the fan to get the stadium issue solved while Fake waits for the stadium fairy to drop $40M on him. The fans got stadiums for Tulane, UCF, Baylor, FAU and all the others. The athletics departments at those schools played no role.

Didn't you guys praise Foote and Jankovich? Where was their vision? Why is the 30 year old stadium issue all of a sudden the problem of the current AD?

Interesting so when our AD gets on the radio waves (present day mind you) and states nonsense like this people should do nothing because it's been going on for thirty years?

My lord you're brilliant. Thank you for bringing so much to the table here.

Since you're such a subject matter expert what should we do instead hero?

No, you're just so ignorant you think the university hasn't already looked into this issue. Blake's comments about the stadium and being open to someone presenting one to them was a semi-sarcastic remark aimed at people like you who keep bringing up the stadium issue as if it hasn't already been looked into.

Why are you jumping into this conversation?

It has been looked into? When and where? LOL at morons like yourself telling me our Administration and Athletic Department has done anything regarding this.

Shut up and move along troll.

What would you have him do? What can he do to overcome the obstacles that have prevented any real possibilities for 30+ years? You're the one throwing sht in his face, so what is your suggestion? As for saying it on the radio, tell the dumbass radio guys to stop asking about it, and then he won't have to say the same things over and over.

Yes, I am brilliant. Brilliant enough not to think that there are new stadium possibilities just because I heard the topic on the radio. Seriously, does the state let you drive a motor vehicle? Borderline autistic. "DERRRRRR, he said stadium....why can't he get one?"

BTW, Marlins Stadium and parking garages sit on about 35 acres.

Dense argument is dense.

AntwanJ here says something is impossible so it must be. Meanwhile in New Orleans they just built their stadium in a historic district which is infinitely harder than anything we can do here.

Miami is selling land south of their main campus for residential development that could have been used as a stadium.

Miami could have made a harder push to keep the orange bowl.

Miami could be actively looking for land to place a future stadium.

Miami could be ACTIVELY setting up a campaign for funds for a future stadium.

You're an idiot and what's worse is you claim to be an expert because you've seen the same thing going on since 1983. Honestly go stick your head in the sand and keep telling yourself everything will be ok. Dumbass.

Per your motor vehicle line I take it you work at the DMV? No wonder they have so many issues. Idiots like yourself who can't think outside of the box set up shop there. "Smile for your picture sir".

LOL you simpleton clown.

These guys love deflection and telling everyone what can't be done.

Yet they provide ZERO examples in regards to what the admin/AD has done to make this happen.

It's hilarious.

The funnest part about being smarter than someone and being able to be so condescending is watching your potty mouth middle school insults. If your writing didn't already say everything about you, the content puts the game away. Just sophomoric.

Your thinking is pretty deep. It's a hundred million dollar project, but you think you've covered the bases from your laptop. They could set up a campaign for funds for a new stadium? From who, the 35 people who showed up at the "Save the Orange Bowl" event? Or from the people who have managed to raise 500 whole dollars for their Golden banner? Or from the guys who won't spend money for tickets because the game is on TV? Those are the people you want to hit up?

Cutting edge.

Ok so your solution is do nothing.

Got it.

Also I'll keep waiting for concrete examples of how they tried to do anything regarding this issue.

Don't worry we can all wait.

Outside of that your an apologist for mediocrity and offer nothing of real value.

You're. We'll get to that in 3rd grade. For now, finish coloring your picture.

When you were on the moon, did you miss the conversations about joining with the MLS stadium? And how it won't work? But that our administration was deeply involved in the discussions?

Still waiting hero.

The sad thing is you **** on the fans that want more for the school. Ironic.

You're an enabler and a good deflector.

Show me where Shalala and company attempted anything. I'll wait. We'll keep it in this century.

LOL MLS?

That was the worst idea ever, but go on. What I'm talking about simpleton is our own stadium. Take a deep breath and stop being so emotional about this. Clearly this is affecting you on a personal level.

This dude wants the fans to put together the plans to build a stadium, but he doesn't trust us to push out an obviously failed coach.

 

[dookie blaylock]

Did you explore this? Don't buy the tropical park land. Build the stadium and have a 99yr lease at 1$ a year. The city/county would not say no to that. The school would also agree to let the city/county use the facility numerous times a year at no costs. It only takes a will and creative hard working minds. Saying it's too hard is unacceptable. Nothing worthwhile is easy.

A land lease would benefit everyone.

Bingo. All of 60 seconds to come up with. What grade did Double Penetration 305 get?

the problem with a land lease is that the city still has the leverage and they'll still gouge. we need their cooperation more than they need ours. they could just lease us enough land for the stadium itself, but keep the controlling interest of the parking lots, which are a huge revenue generator (which is a reason why the orange bowl lease sucked so bad for us). they could (and should if they are smart) also charge a percentage of our annual revenue per terms of the lease, then collect city tax revenue on top of that. if we buy the land, we only have to pay the tax to them. they're not going to give us a lease for some negligible amount because the park is still popular with the public. if you're going to put together a capital campaign for a stadium, you play for keeps.

This makes no sense. If the school agrees to build, it has all the leverage. It won't build and fund the project if the terms aren't right. Tropical park makes no money right now other than Sandra's enchanted. The stadium would go where the current football field there is. High schools could still use it (that would be incredible for recruiting). Miami would get all the rake for 7 games a year. The city would get all the money for every other event. There is only upside on that deal on both ends. How again would the city have leverage to say no to that? If the terms aren't right um would say pound sand find someone else to build a facility u can use to hold events and make a pile of money.

go look at a map and try to find an undeveloped 100 acre piece of land that's less than 1 mile from a highway, all within 15 miles of campus. you can't. that's the city's leverage.

parks are public works and a sunk cost, so it's not like tropical park is designed to be a source of revenue. how much should we lease the land for? if it's anything less than $1 million/year (which would be very low), why would the city even take a sniff?

city to hold events? if someone is putting an event together and wants an outdoor venue, why would they go to our stadium when sun life (which will be overhauled by then) has 30% more capacity and easier access to the broward market? does the city have to train its own staff to run the building or are they going to pay the stadium management company to do that?

we have zero leverage because we have zero other options. we need their land, they don't need our stadium.

Oh, I don't trust you on anything. It's just funny watching guys with mediocre educations and ordinary jobs telling everyone how to run a university. Solid gold. Hollywood can't compete with the stuff that is written here.

Shut up and move along troll.

It's a public forum, a group discussion. Don't like it? Go have a private side conversation. Yes, the university has looked at options for stadiums for a long time. This is not a new issue that just popped up.
