Sun Life Stadium

[ChopperCane]

Read on another board per AD Blake, that if the renovations become reality, SLS could become a 50k seat venue for UM games! Would be cool for all of.us to be able.to sit lower bowl. I live in Orlando and look forward to those trips down south to the Mecca. Hope evedyone gets a chance to make games this year!

I believe they said it would be configurable to 50k or so and be expanded up to 70+ for some games.

How are they going to do this?

Tarp 30% of the seats?

This is BS and we deserve more, we want a plan for our own place.

If the Canes deserve a place of their own, then they will build a place. It ain't happening.

If they move the seats closer and have most everyone in the lower bowl, I think the game day experience will be improved. If the team can win and get 50k per game, the stadium won't be an issue.

Stupid, stupid, stupid. Think long term.

Why can Tulane and Baylor do it? We have more TOTAL students then both of those schools, we have more tradition and we deserve it.

The problem is there is no plan, we know we have to build the stadium but there is no serious drive to do so. All this BS about fixing SLS is irrelevant to me because we still will be playing in Miami Gardens in a place that is not ours. SLS is now is terrible, putting a bandaide on it won't help much.

A plan needs to be developed, a plan with a lot of fund raising and and perhaps a debt sale. There is a lot of land in Miami and we own a lot too, nobody intelligent is saying an ON CAMPUS STADIUM...but how about a near campus stadium.

glad we can finally agree that on-campus isn't feasible. if we can somehow gather the funds and get it approved, tropical park or bust.

but let's be real, renovation with reduction to 50k is far better for us than what it is currently.

Agreed. Yes, the only way to have 50k capacity in a 80k-seat stadium is to just tarp over the rest of the seats.

I never said on campus, I always wanted NEAR CAMPUS. We own lands nearby and there is Tropical Park.

I want a plan, I don't want this renovation as a long term solution.

This would be a joke if this is what they actually did.

Location is not the problem. If you think people don't go to Canes games because it's in Miami Gardens and not Miami then there is no hope for you. Students have actually been showing up since we moved to Sun Life. Having a stadium closer to campus will not solve our attendance issue or make a bit of difference IMO. We have had the same attendance problems for the past 20 years, a new stadium will not change that. The only solution is winning and having a good home schedule. It's just how South FL fans are.

I think there are way more non alum Canes fans in south dade than north dade and broward.

I think if the stadium was in South Dade you would have better non alum/student attendance. especially if they could catch the rail and didnt have to pay for parking.
