The FSU game crowd

[The U is back to work]

Oh look the students are clearly not going to show up so the school is opening up those sections to sell tickets in the 100 level for $37. Smh

So ******* annoying.

It was absolutely shocking how few FSU fans were there. I've been going to Miami-FSU games for 40 years and that's the least I've ever seen. It seriously felt like there were about 2,500 of them.

I only counted three

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).

As a former student **** the students.

My personal experience as season ticket holder in the O bowl was that it was all about the shake of the stadium and unbridled energy you felt and zero about amenity as there was exactly no amenity. Not to mention $10 no blocky which was surprisingly true 99% of the time. Now that I think about it, that parking was actually 10x easier then hard rock from a getting in and out perspective. I digress. Now, 25 years later I would definitely trade what we have now to have that again. That said, unless you were fortunate enough to live it you probably require more now so you are probably right. Some of these newer fans definitely want a more luxurious experience. **** all the students didn't even stay in their seats for the end of the fsu game in covered seating in a nail biter. Really wild since normally when a game gets that tight at the end every seat and aisle usually fill up.
