Title Game crowd

[L A M P]

Only problem I foresee is Canes "fans" using this as an opportunity to make a profit by flipping their tickets.

ShÏt makes my stomach turn just thinking about it.

I try not to judge, even though it sucks. Four good seats can land someone 20-25k. Big $$ for an average family. They could tailgate & watch game from the parking lot.

I get it.

Miami has been waiting for this moment for 23 years.

There is no way Indiana is going to have more than 50 % of the crowd support.

 

[We’reBeckCane]

We still think 50/50 split?

 

[anandris]

We’ve played in these split fan games at Hard Rock before (FSU, UF mainly) can’t imagine their fans being there being a huge factor, assuming that the split is within the 40-60 range and not completely one sided to Indiana (which I doubt)

 

[acerostone]

Who did this?

 

[DurDurDurrCane]

I think it will be around 50/50

This is fine, but there were ways to transfer tickets to Miami fans only

 

[Steve44]

South Florida people do not need airfare and hotels - I have to think this provides advantages. I think its a Miami 60-40

I remember attended our last NC game in Tempe. I had tickets in a Miami section, but outside of me and my dad there may have been 10 Canes fan tops. Canes fans selling their tickets to OSU fans to make money.

I know this is different since it's at home, but I see plenty of tickets for sale on our side and quite a few of those will be purchased by IU fans.

I am glad to report that I found out last night that I will be taking one of the grey seats and filling it with my orange and green ***.

 

[insaneinthecane]

Why are people assuming it’s going to be 60-40 Indiana?

Because for some reason, people still seem to listen to what the media is telling them. Some people will never learn!

Will there be a lot of Indiana fans there on Monday night? Yes, but they will most definitely be outnumbered in the parking lot and in the stands as well!

Let’s not forget that THE FREAKS COME OUT AT NIGHT for BIG Miami games!! It’s going to be electric!!! I’m going to be sitting/standing in section 306 with a pocket full of cough drops to help soothe my throat because I’m leaving it all in that stadium on Monday night!!!

Let’s Go Canes!!!

Its fake buddy. If other states calculated their "alumni" the same way IU would be at least 10th in the rankings.

Cal State system has 500k
Cal University system has 300k
SUNY has 375k
Texas A&M has 160k
Uni of Texas has 250k
Penn St has 150k
Wisconsin has 170k
N Carolina has 240k

And some have multiple football programs

 

[AlexCane]

It’s pretty cute that a fan base that never watched football until last year suddenly cares so much. Fake fans.

 

[BeastMode]

40% Canes 35% Indiana, 25% C suite losers who are just going to post a picture on social media

 

[Hold My Beer]

Miami fans will show up for this one. ****, in ‘83 (lol, I sound like an old man) it looked like 3/1 Nebraska until Calhoun tipped the ball, then I couldn’t hear a **** thing and the Ol’ Girls girders were shaking!

 

[Dream School]

Another factor is that U of Indiana has the largest living alumni base ... in excess of 800,000. Big school with enrollment in excess of 80,000.

The 820,000 number is a bit of a scam because it includes the entire IU system, Cal would have the biggest alumni base in the country if you included the entire UC system.

 

[Hold My Beer]

Am in Palm Beach too. I stopped going to bars before Mario. FSU and UF fans be in there thicking than us.

I'd always assumed all of Dade, Broward and Palm Beach was clear-cut Canes territory.

Had no idea until I joined CIS a few years back and posters set the record straight.

So basically Dade and South Broward is UM country and then an onslaught of UF/FSU fans as you go north is how it's been spelled out

People don’t realize national championship games are like the Super Bowl. They aren’t for the fans, they’re for the peacocks.

 

[Hold My Beer]

You are ****ting on us. There are plenty of empty seats unless it's a big game AT EVERY OTHER SCHOOL TOO. Don't say that's "just how it is at Miami" because that's just how it is in college football, and has been for years.

I went to grad school at UF. I can't even begin to count the number of times that I've sat in a half-empty Swamp. Happens at all the SEC schools, despite what ESPN will tell you.

And yet look at all these schools that somehow are AVERAGING OVER 100% stadium capacity in their numbers

And to your point, those "attendance" numbers aren't tickets sold but rather tickets distributed as many are simply giveaways to faculty, staff, friends and family of players, high school prospects, people with connections to sponsors and so on and on.

Every school in the country releases that inflated number as does every professional franchise.

Thus UM is no different than anyone else in that regard

If selling tickets and putting butts in seats was a top priority for college football programs, we wouldn't see roughly 20 percent of the schedule filled with G5 and FCS programs which exists as near-guaranteed win for the home team in exchange for a high six or low seven figure check for the visitor
