I'm subscribed to his channel he's cool.

Agree about Hardrock, it's given me OB vibes and the tailgating is great too.

There was a time for years - as a fan who lived in Southern California - that I preferred going to our road games. But now with the full renovation and new tradition being shaped at Hard Rock, home games are something I'll be going to more often. Last years Notre Dame game was unreal....
 
I watched the ND game last year on TV and the FSU game this year on TV and you can feel that ****

Crazy how the whole script was flipped on that stadium atmosphere
 
Gives you a sense of how crazy that stadium was when we started putting on them *******.
 
I was a season ticket holder for the Dolphins in 1987 and that stadium was completely a concrete pit. The move of the seats close to the field is a definite big factor in the crowd noise and the place has a swag look to it right now. Unfortunately, I moved to Virginia 15 years ago and I am bummed I can't be at this stadium because it clearly is a completely different feel from this video. With the shade there now, there really is no reason not to go to the games now (if you can afford it). Thanks for posting this video I really appreciated it.
 
I can't recall the exact moment, but at some point late in the 3rd quarter or early fourth when the crowd was in a frenzy I felt the concrete beneath by feet shaking - HRS is legit a scary place to play now as the away team. I said last year that the Bandy pick-6 against ND was the loudest sports moment I've ever been a part of. This year was on par on multiple occasions; either the Pickney INT or the Brevin TD to take the lead.
 
Was there for my first game at the Rock Saturday. The atmosphere lived up to the hype in that 2nd half and the place was definitely shaking/rumbling at one point.

SJ I was told by someone that when this stadium was constructed, Huizenga also had soccer in mind, which played a part. Also, there were budget issues that were involved

But yeah, that stadium in the beginning was such a cookie cutter it should've been sponsored by Chips Ahoy

The 'old' version of Pro Player/Land Shark was more antiseptic than a dentists office

Now, Hard Rock, just FEELS like Miami/Dade County....

The Bandy pick 6 was unreal, at that moment Hard Rock became the real home of the Hurricanes...
 
I was at VT and ND last year and this game was loud. ND was an animal but after the Redwine sack and fumble recovery, the Rock was intense! It stayed that was too, shout out to our fans, especially considering a decent amount of people left early.

It's basically an entirely different stadium now. And the partial canopy helps keep in noise, too.
 
Its lit at games that are not sold out as well. I was at GT last year and we gave them **** especially after the rain came, penalties and more penalties. We haven't lost in there since UNC in 2016 i think. Should finish 2 seasons in a row undefeated at home. That's building something.

Brevin's catch was as loud as I've heard it since ND, but that game was a different animal. The Bandy pick-6 was the loudest I've ever heard a stadium get.
