yup...guy at chruch yesterday and at the gym last week brought this up. clueless people listen to clueless media and think they informed.
Does Miami have what Bama/UGA/LSU/ND has in terms of facilities ....NO But the facilities that Miami does have are nice, they are not grand and mighty but they def nice.
Then the **** about fans is the next that comes up...Miami has never and will never be a 90K+ atmoshpere. Win and everything takes care of itself.
If the hate increases you know we doing something right. GO CANES

I did a little research on published attendance.
Miami's attendance over the the last 3 years is about 48k per game. That's a ratio of about 3 for every 1 student enrolled.
That ratio ranked 9th out of the top 54 schools in attendance rankings.
The top 10 with the attendance/enrollment ratio ('13 & '14 seasons, Miami '13, '14, '15):
1. ND 9.6
2. TCU 5
3. USC 4
4. LSU 3.8
5. Clemson 3.7
6. Nebraska 3.6
7. Auburn 3.4
8. Tenn 3.2
9. Miami 3.0
10. Stanford 3.0
Of note: FSU 2.4, uF 1.7
Our best attendance numbers were in the early '90's where our ratio was closer to 4.
We are right in line with Stanford with enrollment and attendance numbers.
We admin should really take a look on what they did in building a 50k seat stadium for less than 100 mil.
The "published attendance" and the actual number of people sitting in the stands are completely different. If you think Miami has an average of nearly 50,000 people sitting in its stands every home game, you are out of your mind.
We are talking averages here. NOT every home game.
"Published" attendance numbers are paid attendance. Paid attendance and actual attendance differences are not unique to the Miami football program. Of the top 54 schools i looked at, we are the only school that has only a percentage of the paid seats show?
The point was missed.
Let me try this one:
Only 4 schools on the top 54 list had enrollment less than 17k students.
Only ND was considerably higher in attendance than Miami.
