Marlin stadium was only built to employ locally LOLOL, couple years later the fired everyone they hired .

Marlins should be playing at Canes baseball stadium still won’t sell it out .

The new OB should have been built it same place .

Anything the government touches is a calamity, we pay a 1/2 a Penny tax for a stadium that will never be paid off.

Even if bulldozed the tax will always stick like a timeshare it never leaves

"One of the most controversial stadium deals ever made". $635 million construction cost, $155 M put up by Marlins organization and the County is expected to pay a total of $2.4 - 3.0 Billion dollars over the 40 year term of the debt. Miami politics at its finest.
 
For arguments sake let's say the marlins move to another city. How long do you think it would take someone to notice? They don't draw flies to their games

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.

1. Marlins don't own the stadium; The City of Miami and Miami-Dade County do.

2. It's completely selfish and from a student perspective, but there was nothing like going to a game down there. From the gables campus, to rocking the metro-mover (ran every few minutes for games), and then walking over the 12th ave bridge, it was essentially on campus. IYKYK.

The OB was the best place for our team to play.

Neither the Marlins nor the city of Miami is putting anything into upgrades at the stadium and the city owes billions for the stadium as is.

If you are actually advocating that taking the Metrorail to Overtown, getting on a bus, and traveling to the OB was easier than just getting on a bus from campus to HRS I'm not sure you'll be able to sell too many people on that.

If Northwestern can do it, maybe one day Miami can too

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

Northwestern had a stadium on campus to begin with, That's the big difference. SMU had a similar situation. It's a lot easier when you already have land purposed for a stadium. A lot of our fans don't(or can't) understand that there is ABSOLUTELY no place to place a stadium on the Coral Gables campus. Barring someone buying Sunset Place and most of the surrounding area, levelling it and gifting the land back to the University for a facility, it's unlikely there is any feasible plan in existence that involved a stadium within walking distance of the University.

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.

I'm convinced some of you have absolutely no idea what the Miami fanbase is. Never mind the fact that most of our alumni live outside Miami-Dade county, with a significantly percentage living outside the state of Florida, we have a national fanbase, which means that significant chunks of the fanbase aren't in MD. In fact, I'm willing to bet that there are more FSU and UF fans in South Florida than actual Miami fans, especially the kind of Miami fan that is willing to spend 3-4k for a single game ticket.

The IU fans(Likely mostly ALUMNI) travelled for two reasons, 1)This is a unique situation for them, most of them never believed their football program would ever be any good, and 2)SEE #1. IU has 4x the number of living alumni and that's a conservative estimate. Never mind the fact that the allotment system ensured that both schools got equal amounts of tickets(For some reason our fans think that the University of Miami athletic department controlled the majority of tickets, as if this were some random OOC game in September).

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.

How many people do you think were willing to spend 4k on a nosebleed seat, especially non alumni? This is the part you refuse to recognize. If you were to look around that stadium, I bet you that if someone didn't have corporate tickets, the bulk of fans in that facility were alumni. IU has FOUR TIMES the number of living alumni. A working class family isn't spending 8k for two seats, much less 15-16k for four. That's the part you aren't understanding. IU alumni were cashing in 401ks to attend this game, Miami fans, most of whom are likely old enough to remember at least one Miami title, if not two or more aren't that insane.

It’s a shame pro so ports and now CFB has and is pricing the middle class out of attending games.

For a middle class person to go to a game is costly fan base for games to always be an issue.

To go to a game and pay hundreds of dollars plus parking is not in the budget, yes playing weak teams cost less but who wants that ?

CFB and NFL are now for the rich they can have it all, don’t care anymore it was fun though while it lasted .

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

It’s actually quite simple. They bought the tickets earlier. The tickets were on sale before we knew who was actually playing in the game. By the time Miami had punched their ticket, the only way you could buy a ticket was on the secondary market and they started at $3000.
