The stupidity of some porsters on here is astounding.
The attendance this year was SIGNIFICANTLY higher than the year we won our last NC in the beloved OB
But you dumbasses don't let facts get in the way, do you?
People that complain like this clearly don't go to games, so their complaints have no validity.
Get the fūck used to HR stadium and stop bītching like a bunch of puśšies, because that's the only place to catch the team you're supposedly a fan off.
Just what the fūck do you actually want?
Stadium trolls. What cūnts.
Don't get so worked up man...
I went to every game this season (even one away in Boone) and while tickets might have been sold, the actual attendance was embarrassing for half the games.
The FAMU game was the first for Richt as Miami's head coach and people wanted to see the stadium with the canopy on it. It had a solid 58k
FAU was decent but the crown was at least 10k short of the previous week.
FSU was packed because it's FSU. We could play them in Alaska and people will show up.
UNC game was a ghost town. The people that were actually there were really loud though.
Pitt and Duke were also very empty.
I realize a stadium will never happen in CG, and that's fine. But don't think that recruits don't see that as a negative, especially during the down years when we're not winning. The fans might not care, but the kids do, and at the end of that day, if it hurts our recruiting, it will hurt our wins colum. Those coaches from those red neck small towns with power house programs def use it to negatively recruit against us.
As of next season, we will have 15 years left on the lease, the first 10 years of the 25 year lease have gone by very fast. if Miami doesn't have a plan within the next five years, we will be at the mercy of the dolphins ownership (whoever that might be) and without a plan, we might end up is a worst situation than in 07. (Imagine having to beg FIU to use their stadium, yikes).
For now, the improvement to the campus and the IPF will be huge. But plans for when the lease ends should not be put on the back burner.
