Exactly. You put a compelling product on the field, HRS will be packed, but only for big games. That's the problem people don't recognize. Even when the product is **** good, people aren't going to spend time coming to the stadium to watch Miami beat on garbage. A lot of our fans just don't understand(Or forget) that even during the decade of dominance the fabled Orange Bowl was half empty more often than not. That's when Miami was able to stack the schedule with multiple conference winners and whatnot. Even then, if the game didn't have huge stakes, people didn't care.
Miami is playing in a world class facility right now. WORLD CLASS. I've been fortunate enough to catch road games in college football facilities from Ann Arbor all the way to Tallahassee and **** near everywhere in between. Miami plays in one of the best facilities when it comes to fan experience and comfort, and it's not particularly close. Fans of other programs have it really, really crappy and if you've travelled like I have, you've seen it firsthand. Amazing how schools can spend so much on player and staff comfort, but still have fans sitting on benches and urinating in a trough. I still can't believe that Memorial Stadium in Lincoln they don't have sinks in the restroom, they just have these huge fountain looking things with some soap dispensers nearby. That's how you wash your hands there. That's crap, and if those people had other entertainment options, they wouldn't put up with it. It's complete nonsense. Stale hotdogs, non existent signage. It's like going to a larger HS game at some of the "Legendary" facilities.
