The FSU game crowd

Almost every SEC stadium benefits from a sellout of away team tickets every week. They also have massive alumni bases that go to 1 game a year but that's enough on a weekly basis.

We are at a geographic extreme and don't get either of the above benefits.

This is a tired theme.
 
The orange bowl was not a college type stadium, I know we all loved it, but just about any major P2 college stadium would surpass it. Even though generally, college town stadiums suck, hardly any seatbacks, hot metal bleachers, and all that it would still surpass the orange bowl and its last year, which was literally falling apart.
That's my point. The orange bowl was actually worse from an amenity point of view and fans still came.

Attendance hasn’t been any worse at HR, maybe even better.

The orange bowl was a unique venue, it was awesome in its time and I was fortunate to have attended games there, sellouts and also games where the attendance was really poor. The OB and the whole unique OB experience, will never be replicated.

This is 2026, you need amenities, especially for a team like Miami that doesn’t have enough alumni or students (many of whom are not super interested).
