Places to knock down for stadium

[caneworld]

Yes. HR is an amazing stadium and next year will begin a huge home field advantage.

Don't think many in here clamoring for a 50k soccer stadium have gone to many other football stadiums and certainly haven't ever been remotely close to a soccer stadium if they are actually advocating for this.

We play in one of the best stadiums in CFB both in terms of comfort, access and fan experience. For a large metropolis like Miami, it is ideally placed with easy access from north and south. Our paying fans come from all three counties and even north of those.
Hate to see a stadium stuck in the middle the **** hole traffic near CG.
If you are so worried about seat colors and home feel, maybe Ruiz could help buy Hard Rock and make it home.
Soccer stadiums are the worst for watching and playing college football. Soccer games rip up the turf especially during the rainy months of the hurricane season

Actually, he’s in the process of doing that according to one of his tweets.

Don’t know why some people are hung up on distance to campus. Miami enrollment is like 16k and the students show up by the hundreds, not thousands.

Not to mention a ton of people at the games come from Broward and Palm Beach. Hard Rock is perfect for them.

Less than 3K students show up for games... and they want to leave an NFL quality stadium to build a tin can soccer stadium for them???? Height of idiocy.

Go buy HR if you are so worried about seat colors and home feel. Easier than building some junk in the middle of CG or little Havana.

This is the biggest thing right here. We’re fighting to get a stadium close to our campus when maybe 5% of the stadium will be UM students. It’s laughable and now some of our fans want us to have the same stadium size as FAU and FIU. WOW!

The funny thing is I bet most of the posters on here that want the soccer stadium don’t even go to the games.

As soon as it becomes a soccer stadium you'll have people complaining about the seats being too far, especially the upper decks.

People recruit against us by saying we don't have an on campus stadium and have to rent. Our counter has been that we play in a stadium that hosts Super Bowls. If we don't get this right, they'll recruit against us by saying we don't have an on campus stadium and have to play in a soccer stadium.

This. If Miami is going to rent a stadium, I’d much rather it be a real football stadium than some half-assed soccer pitch.

How many stadiums can South Florida support?

Honestly At this point I think a WAY better option is to sell Ross on building a Brightline stop at the nearest junction and adding a Dolphins/Uhealth branded monorail that goes right into the stadium. That would connect HRS to WPB, Broward, and Dade, allow students to take the train to the games, and allow them to turn parking lot space into permanent F1 & tennis venues, resturaunts, shopping, and bars. It would be a way more enjoyable experience, open access to the stadium, and make it more attractive to big-name Tennis/racing events. They could still keep a parking capacity for 10-15k cars, but it would totally revamp the stadium space and be a multibillion-dollar value add.


Edit:

now that I'm thinking about it the aventura station straight down Ives Dairy is already under construction. Just add a metromover or Disney world style monorail connector that goes straight in. I would't be surprised if this is already in the works behind the scenes. The brightline station location is too perfect

Ding ding ding. Real Estate is usually the hold up in bigger cities. In this case, it's the commute. Fix that part, add more things to do, places to stay.. & it will become a destination, not an inconvenience.

Random question but you're not a 90's/early 2000's software engineer that uses the LAMP stack are you?

Lol I wish it had more meaning.. More like I made a handle on Rivals in college when anchorman came out without realizing it was permanent. Eventually just knocked off the ilove part. Random answer for a random question lol

They lost me with the soccer stadium idea.

I also disagree with many of you that think 50 k is good enough for the canes. If Mario gets this thing rolling like I think he’s going too, every home game is going to look like the 2017 Virginia game. To this day that is still the best non marquee matchup crowd I’ve seen Miami ever have (OB & HRS). It was right after we beat the breaks off Notre dame but still. It was 85% filled for a noon snoozer against Virginia

History is not on your side. Even with the glorious best college football team ever in 2001 - the Orange Bowl was half empty for a few games THAT 2001 season.

You’re right but I feel that the commitment from the top down changes things. Not to mention Mario finally being home.

Miami beat VT the week before the ND game in 2017, and the VT didn't come close to the atmosphere to ND. But both those games were awesome.

In terms of your comment re: 50K, Autzen Stadium - where Mario just came from - is one of the best environments in college football and it's a 50K seater. That would be a great setup for UM.

Maybe - I'm one of the ones that thinks Hard Rock is a good spot for this team. However, it's sad to go to games and have the stadium be half empty which happens way too often.

I think the soccer stadium of 50k is an interesting idea. And someone here said people would be complaining about being far from the field... I guarantee the seats would be closer to the field than you currently are at Hard Rock.

 

[rsa coral gables]

there is zero chance ZERO that the soccer stadium will be expanded to include the hurricanes. the footprint doesnt support it. there are already mayor problems with its proposed height. the FAA has determined that it is too tall and may interfere with flight operations. a bigger stadium to accommodate football would require a taller stadium, hence the NO GO. in addition, there is little to no surface parking. Where would Cutler Ridge Laz and Fam tailgate into oblivion before the game?

This is Miami. Not Eugene, Oregon. Miami is probably the most front running sports town in America. If the Canes start winning, it’s a wrap. The heat have shown this for a decade plus now. **** even the Panthers have shown that this season.

When going to a Canes game becomes the hottest event of the day/night… there will need to be a lot more than 50 k seats in a stadium.

The 2001 team didn't even sell out the OB on non-marquee games. This whole "if the Canes start winning, they'll run this town" narrative is old, tired, and against the greater weight of evidence of the last 30 years.
