The FSU game crowd

I just don't get it. I guess everyone is wired differently. But I could never picture myself sitting in the concourse area, talking nonsense with people while the Canes are literally playing live in that stadium. If people want to sit on a couch, "in AC", while drinking a ****tail....just stay home.

That's one of the issues with playing in an NFL stadium. Mind you, I like Hard Rock stadium but I don't do what you mention which is stay in the concourse to talk sh*t. I go to watch the game. College stadiums such as the swamp and doak don't give the fans those types of amenities.
 
Online queue, system crashing, not sure how uni/ticketmaster managed unclaimed tickets; buses were still dropping kids off after kickoff

But with a team like the canes, you have to have those types of amenities.

Small school, small student body, off campus stadium, 95% of the people there are not students, but are working adults, many (probably most) who never even attended the U.

A college type stadium wouldn’t work for Miami.

Oh I'm personally not complaining about Hard Rock but the excuse machine to me is just nuts. It's too far for the students, people rather sit in the concessions area and watch it on tv, the weather. It's always something. When the Canes played at the OB, it was the same thing. That stadium wasn't 20 miles away. In 2001 they averaged less than 50K

The student turnout was an embarrassment. How they don't fill their sections for our biggest rivalry and biggest home game of the season is beyond me.

Besides that, it was good crowd. Upper end zones were a bit sparse for a supposed "sell-out," but that's to be expected when the school tries to rip off its fans with overpriced nosebleed tickets, and then dumps them onto the secondary market at the last minute.

The student overflow section needs to be removed and opened to the general public. Other than ND 2017, I can't remember ever seeing that upper deck corner completely filled.

You've got to remember it's influencer university. UM students are more worried about recording their day-in-the-life videos or their Hyrox training videos than attending a football game. A huge reason kids pick Miami is that they want to grow their social media, and there is no better place to do that right now than the city of Miami
