Stadium renovation

[bomb]

I see a lot of window dressing, but the fact is that every single existing seat in the stadium isn't moving, and is still going to be way too ******* far away from the field due to the original construction to accommodate baseball.

 

[bomb]

With all the renovations they've done in the past and that are expected in the future, I just don't get why they wouldn't build a brand new state of the art stadium in the parking lot and put Sunlife out of it's misery.

I can think of about $900M reasons why.

 

[bomb]

Can someone explain why one would still complain about the seats not being closer? Isn't the plan to add seats closer, something like an additional 10 rows is what I thought I read. So if you sit in row one, it will be row 11 in the new setup. If you want to be closer, you would then request the new row 1.

Because its lipstick on a pig. Every single existing seat right now is still going to be farther away than its counterpart at any other stadium in America. Oh whoopee, there are now 2000 more seats that are real close and are so low that you're staring at the trainers back all game. Woo hoo!

 

[bomb]

Our fans are the worst. They come up with any excuse to not go to a game. There are no good seats in the stadium, I'm too far away from the field, the sun is too bright, I don't like the music, the defense doesn't show up so why should I, etc etc. Just excuses to not support the team. Granted, Sun Life doesn't have the magic and mystique of the OB, but the stadium is not as bad as everyone constantly makes it out to be. My season tickets are in the 8th row of section 154 and I have absolutely no problem seeing everything on the field. And when a play is over, I look up and have a replay on a monstrous HD screen. On top of that, the tailgating is great. The parking lots are huge. I don't have to park in some illegal's backyard for $40 because there is no parking available in the stadium lots. There are tons of concessions and tons of bathrooms that don't leak overflowing urine on to patrons as they enter the stadium. And it is probably one of the easiest stadiums in the country to commute to and from given its convenient location off the turnpike. There are a lot of things that could be better about the situation. But listening to some of our fans ***** and moan you would think that we are playing in some dirt bowl in a third world country.

I agree, but here I see people who do go to the game *****ing about how terrible the stadium is, and will still be for viewing football, as opposed to enjoying amenities.

Driving to Son Life sucks unless you live nearby.

Tailgating in a huge parking lot in 90 degree weather while a bunch of Kendall w-ggers are directly next to me blasting ****** rap music is not my idea of a good time.

Sitting one mile from the field sucks.

Sitting one mile from the field while sweating your balls off sucks.

Sitting one mile from the field while sweating your balls off and watching us give up 500 yards to Bethune Cookman really sucks.

Getting out of Son Life sucks. Can sometimes take up to an hour.

It's a ******* nightmare going to football games there.

Really? SLS came in last? Not saying that it's not possible but you have proof that this is true? Has there been some study to measure the distance? Fill me in if you have that.

I have sat at the upper deck at the swamp, same as SLS, if not further. I have sat in the last rows at doak, though there is no upper deck, the seats are waaaay back, prefer SLS upper deck just for the chair backs. I have sat at the Jaguars stadium upper deck, felt like it was further away from the field.

In this case, Canes fans can complain but their complaints really aren't valid. We're just a tenant. If you don't like it you can always leave. Since we don't appear to really want to leave, suck it up. The building wasn't built for us and the renovations aren't really for us either.

So...

You hate our fans. You hate our location. You hate rap music. You hate our stadium. You hate our stadium's seating. You hate that we play outdoors. You hate that its hot outside. You hate traffic. And generally speaking, you hate our team.

You ever think of becoming a hockey fan?

Love the team. Love it. But part of that died the day we moved to Son Life.

Then help rebuild it instead of perpetually complaining about it.

 

[CyberCane]

At this point, more butts in seats is all that matters…all things being equal, the renovations will accomplish that. Not to mention, the place has to be louder after the renovation.

its miami and its out doors. move to Minnesota if u don't like the heat. no new stadium will fix tailgating in 90 degrees. would u like it better to tailgate in someones front yard in the middle of little havana? SLS is actually near a million highways. OB was more of a pain in the *** to get to. oh traffic after an event with over 40K in attendance? huh? I'm pretty sure any sporting event u attend will have u stuck in traffic post game.

one problem is that that picture is NOT taken at sunlife but at some frat house on Coral Gables.

my guess is Beta theta pi. could be sigma ki.

anyways, you won't see that at Sunlife parking lot and you can't argue that.
