Hardrock will end up louder than the OB cause of the roof, but nobody celebrated when it came down.
I loved the OB as much if not more than the next guy but I spent ALOT of games in the old girl where I could have fired a shotgun and not hit anyone.
The Old Girl was great but those players that were running through that place when she became so loved had ALOT to do with the mystique of the place...
we start putting the types of teams that played there on the field at the new girls place and I have a feeling she will start to gain a mystique about her too and we all will come to have great feelings about her.

Some people get confused with age. They seem to mix-up the fact that the OB was like no other place WHEN it was rockin' with some sunshine and roses mistaken belief that it was ALWAYS rockin'. These are either people that only came here for the biggest of games back then, are suffering from dementia now or are just trolls trying to find something to complain about now.
Donna Shalala and the BOT moved us to HR for some extra revenue $$$. If memory serves me correctly, they turned down a deal with the city that would've seen a $200 million renovation to the OB. That wretched troll ruined everything great about Miami football, never forget.
You're mistaken, first off, the city never would have proposed a "deal" to Miami we were a tenant with zero power. Bottom line is the city wanted the land to build for the marlins, and there was no way in **** they would have invested 200mil in a stadium for a tenant that uses it six times a year.
Anyone with any knowledge of Miami knows that the city has always been notorious for crapping on history for the sake of money aka kickbacks.
The OB was ripe for the picking...(see what I did there).
I'm a third generation Miamian and there's virtually nothing left in the city from my childhood.

I'll love the OB until the day I die BUT....
I'd love people like the OP that practice some severe revisionist history to explain how we lost to Georgia Tech on November 19, 2005......with 20000 empty seats.....for an effing night game......when we were ranked #3 in the effing country.....if the OB provided such a constant homefield advantage sufficient enough to allow us to win out this year?

Tall task. I've never been to a louder stadium than the OB. I'll be at the ND game, and if it's not louder at that game then I don't know when it will.

I'll probably lose my voice there. Oh, well. Sometimes you got to sacrifice. Ive been on the road for ten weeks now, and the thing that keeps me going is the thought of being in the WEZ and seeing some catholic *** whipping.

Amen. I'm a relatively new member of this site. It did not take me long to realize that a majority of comments here are worthless and have little merit. I continue to review messages and once in a while post. This place should be only considered a place to once in a while read something interesting butRok, you created a monster. CIS has completely devolved into a bad troll schtick with a bunch of guys flailing and failing badly trying to be Rok Jr.
I gotta remind you sat pretenders: There’s only one Rok. The rest of you are feeble knockoffs.
That stadium was a POS and outdated it had to go.. maybe could have restructured it.. but the condition it was in was no good.. rebuilding it would have been dope because i loved the U design for obvious reasons and the downtown 305 vibe but it couldn't stay how it was
and behind the scenes there were always people threatening legal action and/or getting settlement payouts for chunks of concrete falling on them.
Not ever going to happen. But, I give you an upvote for the thought.once Jeter moves the Marlins to Vegas, we can retrofit the stadium
