As a fan who doesn't live in Miami, I've always wondered why nobody goes to the games. I've heard lots of reasons like: Very few people graduated from there since it's a small school. There's so much else to do other than that. The team isn't good. It's hard to get there. Parking is inconvenient. Not everybody is a football fan since a lot of the Hispanic people are soccer fans instead. The dolphins game is more important, etc. But the metro Miami area has 6,110,000 people. The stadium holds 76,100 which is 1.06% of the population. There are only 7-8 home games a year. Yet, the stadium is half to 2/3rds full most of the time. It's been like this for a long time too. Most of the roster are local kids from local high schools.
I know people from Lakeland, Orlando, Sarasota and Ft. Myers that go to every game.
Will Miami ever support this team by going to the games? Is college football just not an interest there? Is the University doing a poor job marketing the team/school?
What gives?
Lived in South Florida for 20 years full time and another 5 part time. We live next to Vegas part time now, Might be more things to do in south Florida than any place on earth. And it's magical if you love the ocean, lately we've really starting to miss it. College football has a massive amount of competition in South Florida.

Yeah just because they haven’t been winning much. Also home schedule has been dog****, out of conf schedule has been as well.Waiting till later to be a fan.
OP's comments would have a lot more gravitas if the program hadn't averaged 7.36 wins per season over the last 14 years while going 2-8 in bowl games, with 1 ACC Coastal Division title.
Because Cane fans in general expect greatness from everyone but themselves.
The heat and humidity are f-kin ridiculous in August, September and early October....Personally, I am super uncomfortable being out for hours in that weather....Usually start going to Fins games after Halloween....Canes schedule is shorter than Fins, so only a couple of home games after the weather gets more bearable and by Halloween, the Canes have sucked for the past 15 years....
Canes do get high TV ratings in the tri-county area....Maybe I am not the only one who has issues with spending hours in 110 degree heat index weather....
This. While this doesnt apply to us die hards, Miami is a town of trends. When Canes are good and generating excitement, it becomes the cool thing to do and the stadium gets packed (see: notre dame in 2017). But when that's not the case, most of those types of people choose something else to do. That's been the case for ages, man. I went to every home game when I lived in Miami. And even when we were good, our attendance would be atrocious for like a 12 noon game vs temple. It sucks, but it just is what it is and I personally think it will always be that way.Miami is a **** sports town of frontrunner 'fans'. Always has been. The stadium is too far for a lot of the students to bother with, and that was even the case, to a lesser extent, when they played at the OB. The only way to fill up stadiums for any sporting event in SoFla is to win and be relevant.
I was there as well. Now move out of your mommy's house son.Cue pictures of other Florida schools of no fans in the stands when they suck.
This is a really convoluted, ridiculous argument.
Youtube Miami vs. Notre Dame '17.
I was there, and how nuts it looked on TV was pale in comparision to how it actually was.
Now, walk on home boy.
on campus stadium.
