I should’ve clarified . I meant at stadiums that are on or near a schools campusAny Miami Hurricane game at Hard Rock Stadium, even the sellouts. Hopefully that answers your question.

You faqqits realize Tootsie’s is 5 minutes away from our current stadium?????
Early design stages.View attachment 177047Things are getting real
Lol. No they’re not. Once Ruiz started grandstanding you knew some “plans” would be drawn up. Next you’ll hear about “discussions” or “negotiations.” It’s all smoke and mirrors to build some goodwill.View attachment 177047Things are getting real
Is anybody with the University involved with this?
Yes, but have you read how many people on this thread detest taking anything but their cars and want smooth traffic and parking?I've looked into this and thought the area just north of the Earlington Heights Metrorail station would be perfect. The box outlined by 41st street, NW 22nd Ave, NW 25th Ave, and NW 46th St could be acquired for somewhere in the 60-80M range as it's all single family homes and I'm sure the neighborhood would like the economic stimulus the stadium would bring. It's also in the heart of Miami, near 2 Metrorail stops, and the Park and ride story parking garage. More garages could be added along 41st st next to the airport expressway. A easy ride from both UM Med and UM CG campus'.

There’s a difference between taking 45 minutes to get out of the parking lot at Hardrock and waiting 3 hours in traffic on US1 just to get into the stadium.Can someone name me a stadium where you can go to a game and NOT have to deal with crazy traffic before and after the game ?
Lol. You want to build not only an incredible state of the art stadium but surround it with high end, fine dining establishments? And you want the ticket prices to be cheap?Hear me out.
Tropical Park, of course. But with ticket pricing that’s fan friendly AND Miami-era restaurants surrounding the stadium: Wolfie’s, Joe’s Stone Crab, Egg and You for the Broward people (maybe an Elbo Room bar?). SLoppy Joe’s and other Florida themed bars and Cane themed bars and concessions. Basically a Cane Disneyworld. Retractable roof, palm trees at the East End zone, high arc seating to increase volume. You want the downtown to be in view so they can light up the buildings Orange and Green for the big night games.
But you’ve got to pack the fans in like sardines, to do that you need family friendly pricing not NFL pricing. Oh, and parking garages.
I wish we could have something that nice!! WOWI've said it once and I'll say it again, please don't just build a stadium. Build an entertainment center akin to City Walk at Universal with shops and restaurants. Make it a place you can spend all day. In lieu of being on campus that's the next best thing. Utilize the water features to set a stage overlooking a lake and the stadium, put a bunch of palm trees, and let Gameday show that scene on the broadcast. See how many people rag Miami over their stadium when that happens. Make it a **** event site and something the city can use year round.
Do something different than the boring old stadium surrounded by parking. Build parking garages with green space on top for tailgating. Make it exciting. Make it Miami.

Universal can justify the excavation and maintenance because their income stream is constant. Compare that to an event based venue who would have 6 home games a year and some other events sprinkled annually.I've said it once and I'll say it again, please don't just build a stadium.

If the Stadium project is paid for, then more affordable ticket pricing is a reasonable objective to attain for most games.Lol. You want to build not only an incredible state of the art stadium but surround it with high end, fine dining establishments? And you want the ticket prices to be cheap?
The guys wanting to build a stadium on campus are more realistic.
Cough, cough. SoFi stadium ya say, huh? I wonder who on this board continued to harp on SoFi stadium location & how it happened. Hmmmmm.
