You’re not paying attention..You can't just build a stadium there. You have to provide the residents with enough incentives that they cannot turn it down.

You mean, like, literally anything other than what it is (useless) right now?You can't just build a stadium there. You have to provide the residents with enough incentives that they cannot turn it down.
True, when i turned 21, went to the track & lost a hundred bucks..The number of people still around who remember it as a race track is pretty small.
its in hialeah now
A brand new park isn't enough incentive? If the residents want the park to remain in its current condition (a hotbed for riff-raff with outdated concessions) then they deserve what they'll get if they fight to keep this from happening.

Northwestern releases early design concepts for dynamic new Ryan Field
One year after announcing a transformative gift by the Pat and Shirley Ryan Family to build a new Ryan Field, Northwestern University today released renderings of a schematic design for the new stadium to replace the current 97-year-old structure.news.northwestern.edu
Beautiful stadium, but it fits their needs. It’s a 21k student body where CFB is not their biggest priority. Makes perfect sense to have a stadium of this size for them.

#1 and most important is it’s on campus. #2, they don’t sell out, don’t come close and so they’re reducing the new stadium by 12k, holding 35k.New Ryan Field thanks to $480 million donation

agree re build on campus, but since that will never happen the stadium issue appears to be a moot exercise. i don´t see any material increase in attendance with a stadium at tropical, plus the stadium appears to be a subterfuge for the other development that Ruiz will need to construct at the park in order to fund the stadium, none of which belongs in a public park (run-on sentence galore).#1 and most important is it’s on campus. #2, they don’t sell out, don’t come close and so they’re reducing the new stadium by 12k, holding 35k.
If Ruiz or anyone else is serious, build something on campus. Otherwise it’s pointless. As it’s not for the students. They don’t go the vast majority. ****, for the MTSU game you maybe had 500 students at the game. Tropical Park would give you a jaw dropping 1K students on a good day. And at least half gone by halftime.
where would you suggest the stadium on campus be built?We need at 45-50k stadium that rocks...no more...can have suites and club section to drive $$, plus owning the revenue. SEC and Big 10 schools have this size of stadium so this does not change the end game of where we can end up in a conference or anything else. Quality of product and eyeballs on the TV will drive our attractiveness. And the $150m football facility on campus is needed asap to bring in the right talent to finally get past this 15 years of absolute crap other than 18 months of Richt. (mid 2016 through the 2017 season).
I don’t know when the last time you were on campus, but there is no room on campus. The only options are to #1 destroy the UVs and Frat row, #2 destroy a nearby school + buy land, #3 buy a crap ton of million dollar homes and build a stadium. #4 buy an entire country club + the houses that surround it. All of which also happens to be in coral gables with ridiculously strict building codes. There is no world where an actual on campus stadium can get built. Tropical park is the best location UM will ever get for a potential new football stadium.#1 and most important is it’s on campus. #2, they don’t sell out, don’t come close and so they’re reducing the new stadium by 12k, holding 35k.

Hint, Hint...Argentina vs Honduras, tonight? That field going to take a beating.
Lady Gaga concert last Saturday, soccer tonight,Ross is banking so much from all these events. Must be nice to own a property and generate revenue from it..
Thank you. The stadium nonsense is the gift that keeps on giving. We have a core group of 35,000 fans you can count on, and that is literally it. There's another 5 to 10,000 that will show up if the game is in the afternoon or evening, with no rain in the forecast, against a top 15 team, if we are undefeated. Filling the stadium, you need a big name opponent. It's been this way forever. Students do not move the needle.agree re build on campus, but since that will never happen the stadium issue appears to be a moot exercise. i don´t see any material increase in attendance with a stadium at tropical, plus the stadium appears to be a subterfuge for the other development that Ruiz will need to construct at the park in order to fund the stadium, none of which belongs in a public park (run-on sentence galore).
You're thinking small. See, if we had kept Manny Diaz, not only would we have beaten MTSU, we could have had his father bribe local politicians to eminent domain about 500 single family homes to build our new, state-of-the-art, "Hurricane Shelter," and then sublease the, "green space" for "private events" to "offset expenses."where would you suggest the stadium on campus be built?
