I feel Miami made a mistake not holding a Spring Scrimmage at Traz Powell. Anyone disagrees?
Are you serious?
Game hasnt been televised in the last few years. Why is it a big deal this year?Our stadium is not the problem. They should of televised the game. Us as die hard fans want a certan amount of access to the program.
Admission was free to the spring game at Hard Rock. Also, last time I checked, Hard Rock was in the hood as well.Dead Serious
Why not bring the Hurricanes to the hood? Have Free Admittance. I am not talking the Spring Game but this weekends final scrimmage why not play it in the hood?

The problem is having 15k fans in attendance when kids are visiting other top programs with 50-60k.. and then having to cover it up by not televising it. What other reason is there to not televise it anywhere? Its embarrassing but its the cold hard truth behind a lot of the negative recruiting you hear about, even after having the best season and recruiting class in 15 years. Lot of people on this board don't want to hear that though. Recruits are still talking about the atmosphere of the UM v ND game in hard rock, its not a stadium problem.
Something needs to be done to market this as an event in the future rather than a scrimmage. It was great having 40+ elite kids at a spring practice, but that post visit high wears off as soon as they take a trip to SEC town for their spring games. Thats lost momentum when we need to be building it.
I think it was who they had in concert that made us laughEverybody laughed at FSU for having a concert before their game, I think this is a great idea. Throw a nice short 1hour concert pregame and then roll out The Canes, that should put a few asses in the seat and well worth the money.
I wouldn't have laughed if they had someone like Kendrick, JCole, Wale, Kodak, or ****ed us over and took a Miami rapper up there.I think it was who they had in concert that made us laugh
The stadium is literally a straight shot down 27 ave from Traz, 7-10 min drive.. Plus the stadium has the canopy to protect from the sun, the same people who would show up to traz went to the stadium. This is a nonissue.

If the kids are that affected by a spring game as opposed to say the atmospheres at the Notre Dame and Virginia Tech games, then I wonder about that kid. And there were a few SEC programs that had horrible attendance for their spring games.
A few years ago they went to different stadiums. This year they didn’t. It is what it is.
So....the solution to our perceived attendance problem is...to have the spring game in a tiny stadium?
Sure, makes sooooo much sense...
Look, Hard Rock is not far from Traz Powell. The area around Hard Rock is not exactly "Coral Gables" or "West Palm Beach". Now that the stadium is renovated, I hope we do a ton of future activities there.
We just need better event planners. The whole day could be family-oriented and inexpensive.
