University of Miami will make a lot less money in a tiny 40K stadium when we sell about 50K tickets per game
I've tried to explain this to you once, but you refuse to learn. Of that 50,000, over half are either free or sold at rock bottom prices, like $140 for an entire season. We have to sell them at low prices at SLS because the supply ridiculously outweighs demand. If we have a 40K stadium, every seat commands a premium. Season tickets will sell out. How you still don't get this is anyone's guess. You might be the only guy on earth who defends the idea of having a football game with 35,000 empty seats and absolutely no atmosphere.
I don't agree with your bogus opinion and you ignore we get a major amount of money from parking fees even with the people in the cheap seats. UM won't get any parking revenue at Beckham's tiny stadium. With 40K seats about 10K go to either students that pay $62 a year in student fees and the rest of that 10K goes to the visiting team under NCAA rules. UM can't make money selling only 30K seats and missing out on the big games like FSU and ND where we sell out SLS. That MLS stadium is a down size the business plan to UM. Even if we were in that MLS stadium there are going to be a lot of empty seats when we play weak teams. Forget about ever playing a big OCC team like UF, OSU in a tiny 40K stadium since extra seats is the only way we can get them to play at Miami. Where are we going to be when the ACC allows students to get stipend that is not far off?
We already sell on average of 50K tickets per game now and have sold more than 40K since the 1999 season. If you were at the gator game we had major atmosphere at SLS. The Competition is what drives ticket sales in this town not some stadium that have a view of Biscayne Bay as it only improvement over where we play now. Having a skyline view isn't going to make our atmosphere better at Canes games in the Beckham's soccer stadium that would make UM the laughing stock of the nation being 2nd chair to a girlyman sports of kick ball.
Keep dreaming Beckham cares enough about UM to build a stadium that meets UM's needs since it is never going to happen. Stop letting that underwear model use you as his political ploy since he is never going to share his stadium with UM. It won't happen Beckham is just using Canes fans for his political circus but you keep ignoring that truth.
