just got off the phone with john while he was again touring the park via helicopter. i think he had Dan and Mario in the copter.

he says he is working on new elevation drawings for the tropical park stadium. he'll have them by this afternoon.

the good news is that funding is in place. the university is on board and he's building a sidewalk on the north side of miller road for @rok and company so that they can drudge their wares (bbq, chairs, coolers, canopies etc.) from the comfort of their homes to the stadium, a 3-4 miles walk. it will be a community event where they all walk in together.

stand by for further details.

Yea Cane fan from Palm Beach Country won't drive to Hard Rock to watch Miami beat up on Wake Forest, but they will drive further to watch them beat them in their own stadium.

Especially those Thursday and Friday night games.
 
If Northwestern can do it, maybe one day Miami can too

I can't remember right off hand what their new stadium holds

Hate to break it to the Anti Hard Rock folks UM will most likely extend that lease.

Lease runs through 2033.

Modular seating and retractible field at Loan Depot Park is the only viable alternative and that wouldn't take more than 3 years to accomplish. I truly believe if that's what UM wanted there would be political support to make it happen. Otherwise it's HRS.

I’m sure many have seen Tropical park very spacious, I get it on-off ramps and improved access to accommodate fb low of traffic.

Plenty land and parking the park also upgraded for awesome tailgate picnic areas it really is a great place for a stadium.

But it they build it , it will be in a dangerous area to revitalize it , that never works .

Marlin stadium s $500,000,000.00 MOONDAGAL as Jim mad dog Mandich once described it to a “T” total waist taxpayer dollars sales tax that will never end , like a TIME SHARE.

Each school was given 20k seats and then the remaining 25k went to "the public" months before the game.

The split was probably 60/40 overall.

Did you go to the game? If not, STFU.

Brother, I live in New York. I don’t live in Miami. If I did, I would have been there. ****, if I was within driving distance, I would have gone. I don’t care if it was 51-49, it’s embarrassing. The game was literally in our home stadium. Our fan base didn’t have to fly like they did.

Obviously, everyone on this board is a super fan so my criticism is directed more towards the causals or bandwagon fans, not people like you.

i have no clue how people dont understand how neutral site games work. indiana didnt have access to seats before us. they didnt have access to any special areas.

20k each to schools just as any other neutral site bowl game and 25k to corporate sponsors/orange bowl ticket packages/and local businesses. blame the people in the 25k who received tickets before the school seats were allocated that put their tickets on sale and indiana fans buying them up.

at the end of the day, canes fans are local fans and they werent gonna drop 4k to go to a game.

Why did more Indiana fans buy most of that 25k allotment. What’s the excuse? I’ve yet to hear a good one.

LOL nothing nefarious happened man.

20k went to each school. 25k went to corporate sponsors/local area businesses/orange bowl committee/orange bowl ticket packages.

this was not a HOME GAME. it was a neutral site game that happened to be at home.

blame UM fans for not buying tickets that went on sale in the secondary market and UM fans who did get seats in the UM section putting their tickets on sale. in my section, people were literally walking in mid first quarter because they bought tickets right before kick

That’s exactly who I’m blaming. And yet, I’m not allowed to do that without people getting angry?

that stadium has the worst sightline for football. I remember the marlins park FIU Canes game.

Ahh so all those Indiana fans were from SFL and didn't have to travel like you would have from NY ... you had the same opportunity to go to the game as the IU fans and yet you didn't and then ***** about there being more IU fans. Got it.

Let's move from the off campus NFL stadium that hosts Super Bowls and owner with billions that gives us a favorable lease to an off campus baseball stadium with a 3rd rate ownership group.

What a terrible idea.

lol this argument can’t be serious?

The game was in ******* Miami, where, you know, 90% of our fan base resides.

I’m asking why Indiana fans — who had to travel unlike most of our fan base — were able to secure more tickets than us.

They had to fly, find a place to stay, and spend extra money on food, etc. We’re talking thousands of extra dollars ON TOP of the exorbitant ticket prices. And yet, we were outnumbered in our own stadium.

I’m not sure why this doesn’t **** you off. It’s embarrassing no matter what excuse some of you try to manufacture. I feel bad for the players. They deserved better.
 
If the day eventually comes where we get our own stadium close to campus, I’ve always said that I’m in favor of a smaller stadium right on top of the action with awesome acoustics. When I said that I didn’t mean 25k small 😂. 50-60k would be the perfect size, IMO.

For one thing, they expected to be in the championship game as soon as they won the Big 10. We were still a long shot at making the CFP. Once we did, many people didn't even notice the Dec 8th email from the school about championship tickets. Nobody expected us to be as good as we were, including our own fans. By the time they did, the tickets were gone.
