home game attendants

[decleated]

Yeah, some of the attendants can be ****s. I've been threatened with getting thrown out for standing up for big plays and such.

i worked as one of the dudes selling beer/water/soda

**** is hard as fuhhh

Dude, I sold beer at the OB. From '79 - '81. You have no standing to complain.

Hah! I sold soda at the OB from 76-80. Carrying those racks up and down the stands sucked. I remember we had to have rolls of nickels, dimes, and quarters to make change- a soda was 60 cents. Long live Zum Zum!

We must have worked together, I remember pouring my own soda's and rollin up my own hotdogs to sell.
I sweated many times in that little cramped up concrete room with the pile of ice on the floor..
Virginia was the lady who was in charge she was my mom's good friend, that's how I got the job..
I still have one of my badges we had to wear..

I hope they do something because my season tickets were $450ea which included the HC required donation. Most of the season excluding FSU, people were buying seats in my area for 1/3 of the price with the QAM promo. Same thing happened to another group of buds that had upper level 40yd seats. They bought theirs for $400ea. per seat and people were buying seats around them for $9 bucks..

They should just lower the cost and get more season ticket holders. They are giving away most of them anyway.

For the sake of our dying language, "attendance."

Dan Le Batard described Miami as an event town as opposed to a sports town, ala St. Louis, Boston, etc.; According to Le Batard, "Miamians" turn up for big events. So when we are winning and playing big games the stadium will fill up because it is a big event. I thought that was a fair assessment that applies to the other sports teams in south Florida. I'm not from there so maybe he's way off base, but from a distance I could see that.

We do have a large national fan base that includes, but extends well beyond, the relatively small alumni of the university. I live in the DC area and see our fans wearing UM gear all the time - even through our lean years. The same was true when I lived in Atlanta and in North Carolina. Obviously, the more we win the more fans will dust off their old Canes gear and hop back onto the bandwagon whether in south Florida or south central.

I can't ever get anyone to show me to my god**** seat!

Miami's fan base is miniscule. UM football is a sports/entertainment product. If the event isn't attractive, you can't bribe people to go. That isn't going to change.

anyone who went to a heat game pre-shaq, post-shaq/ pre-lebron knows that its not just the canes its the city. No one goes unless its the "it" thing to do

place used to get packed when the heat played in the miami arena had the teams of zo, timmy, mash, pj, thunder dan, leonard, etc. but ya if u win they will come pretty much. outside of the fins (not recently but if u havent done anything for 10 plus years u try to keep fans coming) the city isnt full of diehards. one major reason why is bc of transplants. too many transplants in so fla that root for their teams not Miami's teams

 

[MetiSkeemz]

Small school
Alumni base mostly out of state
Front-running town full of transplants


You have the core group of us die-hards (yeah I'm elite), but other than that, the formula in so Fla is always the same - just win. If you win, people show up. It's an event town. If your team is a huge story and is good and in the news, people will come out.

This guy gets it. (I.E. Miami Heat fans)

I can't think of one college football team in a major metropolitan market that sells out consistently. The only ones that get decent attendance are maybe USC and UCLA, but they don't have an NFL team in that market. Perhaps the Washington Huskies, but I don't think they have sold out for quite some time.

I never realized there was valet parking.
