the phraise "college town" essentially has morphed into "small town with not **** to do" i.e. clemson, auburn, athens , etc.
austin and columbus are both in the top 15 biggest populated cities in the US.
our push back on fandom in miami is that it's a lively city and there's stuff to do. Sure Miami is different than Columbus but Columbus is MASSIVE.
the real issue we face in getting a true legit atmosphere is obviously an on campus stadium. That and the fact that we're private limits our fanbase signifcantly. a lot of college age fans arent going to drive to hard rock to watch the canes play when they go to FIU instead of paying $50k a year to attend miami
