A stadium similar to UCF's (great home atmosphere)... is 55 million dollars (construction costs).

I understand the issue isn't money for the stadium rather getting the city to allow us to build somewhere.

But when are we going to (maybe we do) put up a fight and do everything possible to get a F'in stadium (preferably built at Tropical Park)?

In CFB you absolutely need every ounce of homefield advantage/great atmosphere you can get.

We just need a 45-50k seat stadium. You can add on later. F*#^ that Banana Republic run ****.

UCF's stadium sucks.

The tailgating area is amazing.

Don't kid yourself. That pile of aluminum is ****.

I would think we would need at least 250-300 mil for the stadium and then who knows how much for the cost of land acquisition. It may not be ours but I would rather play in No Life than some aluminum dump that cost 50 mil to build.
 
This thread again...

It isn't the ******* stadium people. We suck and have sucked for the greater part of the last 10 years. You need people to make noise, not a stadium. You need people in the seats to create an atmosphere. Most importantly, you need to win for all of this to happen. If we win, everything will take care of itself and you will see Sun Life's atmosphere greatly improve.

I'm going to assume you weren't at 2010 FSU. While we got our **** pushed in, the atmosphere was **** electric leading up to and in the beginning of the game. What was the difference? We had that ***** sold out. Ding ding ding!!!

Did you happen to see the Swamp this weekend? Looked depressing as **** half filled. I guess it's the Swamp and not the fact that it was half filled. How about the OB? Yeah, we had great home field advantage at the OB from 2004-2007.

edit: Before I get strawmanned, I'm not saying Sun Life is ideal...it is not by ANY stretch. But the main point is that the things everyone ******* about, pertaining to our stadium, is largely fixed by winning (and therefore getting people to actually go to games)

Please stop with this-- it will NEVER happen. I agree that Sun Life needs modifications, however, now that the Marlins are gone. They need to find a way to get the fans closer to the sidelines. The 40-yard cushion on each side keeps the fans out of the game ... literally. I thought, after the NFL threatened not to bring the Super Bowl back to Miami after the Colts-Bears slop fest, that modification plans were in the works. Whatever happened to those plans?
