Decided not to attend last night and grateful for having made that choice, but I was at the first couple home games and it just gets worse every year. They try so hard to make it a glitzy event with a DJ, light shows, pyrotechnics, close-ups of ugly fans in the stands between plays instead of replays, etc. I was at the Temple game and would take that experience over ours any day.
Late in the 4th Quarter, they showed a young girl on the screen that saw herself on the screen and hid her face. They let it linger - seemingly - forever. You could see her melting.
Then they went back to her embarrassed-self THREE MORE TIMES. IN THE SAME COMMERCIAL BREAK.
Poor girl.
"THE CLUB" gimmick is something that - if it were to have naturally developed as a Miami tradition - maybe it'd work. But it comes off as a manufactured in a focus group or in some marketing office by some dumb dumb that just doesn't understand much of anything to come to this conclusion. It comes off as lame.
People show up late...thats fine and all...but I'd say a good 30% of the crowd that was there was out the door before the end of the game of a one score game. When Miami needed the fans to make all sorts of noise to stop that last GT drive, literally no one is there and those that are left are in utter disbelief at what they are seeing. Was a complete melt and no one was around to help prevent it. A complete program collapse last night.
