The only 2 places that I could have even imagined a Stadium being built are Tropical Park or Bicentennial Park. Now that Bicentennial Park is going to be the site for Museum Park that land is off the table.

That's what I was thinking, that would have been the perfect spot

Bicentennial Park would be awesome. Easy access from campus (and all over) via the Metro/Metro Movers, and the stadium could have a sick water view. They squeezed 100k+ into that park for Ultra, so I don't see why we couldn't fit a 55k person stadium over there. You could also go to a Canes game and then head next door to watch the Heat lose to the Knicks. Traffic would be brutal, though. In addition, this will never happen.

Did anyone of you go to the school and or attending the school now?

Because if you haven't, or don't have deep pockets, the school does not and will not give a *****

I just graduated last year. I've gotten phone calls from CallingCanes about donating to the school and told them I'm not donating anything until I'm a billionaire, in which case I'm donating an entire on-campus/nearby stadium. The girl on the phone did not find this amusing, but it is the absolute truth.

Bicentennial park does not work. Not only will the traffic cause a cluster puck but soon, there will be construction of a casino near that area to complicate the matters.

U can't just drop a stadium b/c there's an empty lot. Parking is critical. Especially for football and tailgating.

Also, the new stadium is not and will not be like the orange bowl. And such life is not that bad anyway. Not many teams play in a stadium where BCS bowls are held. Once we start winning, all the complaints about the stadium will cease.

The stadium did not make the team bad.

My uncle is chief of staff for Carlos Gimenez and I've asked him multiple times about this situation. First, where the **** are you gonna put a stadium in Miami other than tropical park. Can't put it anywhere in coral gables because first there's no land, second the city is so obnoxious with their permits and policies and construction rules. Third, no person who lives in coral gales will ever want to have to deal with any sort of traffic on a Saturday from noon till 5 pm.

All that said the only option is really Tropical Park but there is no way UM should ever build a massive stadium.they need nothing bigger than 50,000 seats and that's a lot

I always thought Melreese would be an excellent location for a Stadium over that crappy golf course they have there now.
But UM screwed the pooch long ago when they failed to buy cheap land at time and continued in the OB as if that place was going to be there forever.
Dade County will not publically fund a stadium for a college team that only has 6 home games.
UM should have built one long ago during the peak of the MNC runs when we were College Football Kings. They have no one to blame but themselves.

You know by sharing a field with the Dolphins, we don't have to "keep up with it" right? Dolphins will also have a nice stadium, or at least one that will attract a super bowl (thus you see the roof thing they are thinking of).

It may not be on campus or be the loudest stadium, but it works just fine for what we need and win we win, it will be full.
 
bicentennial park is already mostly a museum now from the looks of it and ya tropical park would be good but do you have the money to pay back tax payers and county workers for getting benefits/pay cut...dolphins will never move thats their stadium it was built for them by the former owner...theyll renovate but never move...we had a stadium guys it was the orange bowl but our BOT decided to move to SLS rather than fix up the OB

This guy gets it
 
and also you cannot even have a pickup trick in the city of gables...wanna bet they allow a stadium built there attracting "SHOCKING" non coral gables residents and more drunkenness to their city...**** the city even shut down our homecoming concert a couple years ago from talib kweli i think it was (sophomore year in 07)

Tropical would be the spot. Relatively close to Campus. Plenty of land and good roadways that could handle the traffic. Also, you'd probably not get all that much of a resistance from people in the area.

The stadium is whack and I don't trust Dolphins ownership to do much about it.
Worst atmosphere, jacked up parking, seats 100 yards from the sidelines, on and on and on..... worst. stadium. ever.

Tropical park is really the only viable location. It has what you need as far as access, land, and proximity...I don't really think it's that far fetched. We'd have to work out some kind of land lease, and perhaps float the idea of having the stadium available for high school games. High School football is becoming a bigger business, and the extra revenue from a nice facility, and televising a lot of these games could help to offset some costs for maintenance etc. What this idea needs is some fresh thinking regarding financing, and a viable business plan....and 200 million or so :cigar:

I know all the dead horse guys come in here whinning about "this again", but what's the harm in discussing this. It's what message boards are for. I for one know if I'm ever a billionaire there will be a stadium somewhere.

Fans showing up is something that would be "awesome"

Fans make the atmosphere FOR THE MOST PART. The OB wasn't alluring or scary from 2004-2007...

Well, we do play in a modern NFL stadium, that hosts the superbowl. That's a sell to recruits as it is, if it was full, it would be a bigger sell to recruits.

Parking is a fan issue, but yes it should be less.

Pretty sure if they do the renovations that they mentioned in the Herald a while back they're building seats closer to the sidelines.

The fact we play in a stadium that will be kept not only in good condition, but in cutting-edge or near cutting edge state is a huge bonus for us. Can you imagine if we built a stadium of our own? You know in time it would fall behind because we don't have the money to keep up with upgrades.

Even if the Dolphins left DS, we would be in whatever stadium they build.

UM just isn't really suited or in position to have it's own stadium for just UM unfortunately.
