We simply have to take advantage of this opportunity. Who cares if Broward and Palm Beach are inconvenienced? What idiot thought of that angle, anyway? He should be strung up. Who cares about distribution of fan base as opposed to natural benefit of proximity to campus and the heart of a great city? Every time I drive to Sun Life I have to laugh about the opposing team, flying in to Miami and then heading to nowhere to play the game. That has to be intimidating.
The moron who placed dots on a map to identify the fan base distribution is the same caliber of mindset as believing that the home venue doesn't really matter, that there's no real difference between the Orange Bowl and Sun Life. Players decide the game, after all. Simpletons like that can't be allowed to make the major decisions.
In this era I don't know why a breakthrough design isn't feasible. Maybe a split level playing field has some drawbacks or issues that I'm unaware of but it seems to make sense to me, given the priorities of both the soccer team and the Canes. I think it could be legendary if we could pull it off. The stadium seats 55,000 for football at ground level. But the soccer field is on a removable/adjustable level quite a bit higher, with maybe a 25,000 capacity since the lower seats are essentially "underground." That allows for a wider soccer field since the stadium naturally angles outward. The football field can be tight to the stands like the Orange Bowl at ground level. The upper seating section are the primary stands for soccer but the upper deck for football. Obviously this is just a rough draft off the top of my head. Maybe a raised soccer field would be unstable and clunky. Or extreme expense.
