That 2017 ND game was absolutely bonkers. Only games with comparable atmosphere in my memory were '00 and '02 FSU, and maybe '03 UF. The last game in the OB was also an incredible crowd but obviously the vibe quickly turned sour.

That game was the only time since the move to Hard Rock that you could feel the vibe outside the stadium. I told my wife, "No way we lose this game."

For all the people that didn’t go to hard rock for the VT and ND games that year I don’t think you really understand how ridiculous that stadium was.
Even for other games like Syracuse that year the place was awesome.
Hard Rock is another wasted home field advantage that hasn’t been fully taken advantage of.

The ND tailgate was lit AF too.

I agree if you had to compare the OB Hard Rock with that tarped roof is a great compare.

He told Habib that the Notre Dame bus had a window smashed, that fans were throwing things at the bus the bus, about the stadium noise and that Hard Rock Stadium had an incredible atmosphere for the Miami-Notre Dame game.

“We kind of expected a loud atmosphere but nothing close to what it was…That was one of the loudest stadiums I’ve played in my five years (in college)…We had people throwing stuff at the buses driving up,

Actually our window was shattered and we had to get a new bus. It was pretty crazy stuff. The atmosphere was great…Obviously the outcome was terrible, but I did love playing in that stadium.”

Notre Dame team bus windows smashed vs Miami Hurricanes in 2017

“(Our guys) wanted to win really, really bad,” Kelly said. “I have to do a better job of keeping them in the moment and keeping them from being distracted from all that’s going on around them.

“I’ve never given (big-game atmospheres) too much thought because we play in a big-game atmosphere at Notre Dame, but this one was a little bit different. A number of these kids hadn’t played in a game of this magnitude since maybe the Clemson game (in 2015), and I don’t know that there were many defensive players on the field for that.”

“I think just credit to them all over the place,” Tranquill said. “Credit to their fans. That was the loudest game I’ve ever played in. I think that they really added an element to help them.”

Captain Drue Tranquill said when noise becomes a factor, the defense has to communicate with their hands. When the crowd becomes “super into it, it’s hard to catch a rhythm,” he said.

Great post I remember a couple of ND fans cupping their ears at the stadium…now that said it all👍
 
I think it was Fowler that said it’s the loudest stadium he’s been in during the broadcast.

I was at that game and loved seeing those entitled ND fans with their heads hung low. I thought we were on our way back. Here we are still on our way back.

I was excited yes but didnt like what we were bringing in, that year I knew Clemson would smash us i predicted that. The QB play was bad but Malik tried and luck helped that year. Just thought we were still getting killed on the trail and we couldnt build off that. I knew it wasnt sustainable but super excited to win those games and enjoyed the ride. We arent back till u see back to back top 5 classes and kids that would pick OSU Bama UGA start choosing us, thats when u will know

I dont get the near campus thing, is there a student population at UM that will pack a stadium on campus? School enrollment is tiny and wont change. Most fans miami has to draw from is general public who live in south florida and have cars because if you live in south florida you need one anyway. I can make argument its easier for people from broward, west palm, south west florida to drive into hard rock than coral gables..

I think if we win, and have exciting brand of football people will come. Miami is an event town but you got to win. When we won in that season, the games were LIT and the stadium was an advantage.

This makes sense. A stadium near campus doesn't. Most people at any game stadium, no matter if on or off campus, are not students and drive to the venue from around the region.

HR has easy access. Everyone still has to take transportation to and from the stadium, no matter where the stadium is located so the only difference is a few minutes drive time, plus or minus. And HR is an excellent, Super Bowl-worthy stadium. The roof makes it as loud or louder than any stadium once we are winning a reasonable amount.

I live near the campus. It takes me about 25 minutes to HR. TP would be closer for me, but only by 5-10 minutes.

Every team in the nation can pack a stadium once every 4 years. Needs to happen way more frequently. This is why the stadium near campus makes more sense - smaller in capacity, more conveinent for everyone, and more sellouts.

The rock is great for big events but just doesn't have the appeal for a noon kick vs Virginia Tech.

That's just it. The majority of the people that go to the games don't live anywhere near the campus. It shows you either never went to the school or don't live in Miami.
