Best e-fanbase in football though

just look at the roundup photo and that is what you see at South Miami Beach all day every day.

Their fans have the right idea

This was taken at halftime today while they were inducting players into their HOF. We think we have attendance problems...

Saw a report yesterday if you buy season tickets they throw in a parking pass. So for a ticket and parking pass per game it costs a grand total of $25. So for 6 home games you get a ticket and parking pass for every game for $150 a year! And you can pretty much have the best seat in the house if you want it.

If you want an individual game ticket they only cost a whopping $10!

Looks like a Temple game.

They need to build a stadium near campus. May not help much, but ever since they moved from the Orange Bowl (5 miles from campus) to Sun Life (20 miles from campus), I don't think they've had anything close to a sellout, even for FSU or whoever comes to town.

They are trying to get out of their lease with the Dolphins, but Stephen Ross won't let them. The University wants to and is trying to partner up with David Beckham for that new soccer stadium Beckham is trying to build down there. The University wants to play their home games there when its built but Beckham can't get the politicans down there to help him build it plus the Dolphins owner isn't letting them out of their lease.

That Dolphins stadium is currently under-going a massive renovation which will be done in 2 years or so and adding a roof, moving seats and making it a state of the art place. That might help their attendance some but its a train-wreck down there. The school doesn't want to be in that building but they are trapped

Didn't know all of that, thanks. They'd be better off playing in Marlins Park than what they do now. At least they'd be back on a site that they were used to.

So, how does Miami continue to get great recruits? Head coach seemingly is on the hot seat, attendance is atrocious, and they haven't lit up the world with their record the last several years. Is it really just the beach?

The Orange Bowl was perfect for the U. Miami as a city is terrible at supporting their pro sports teams thus the Canes struggles aren't shocking. Stephen Ross is being a dink to them and won't let them out of their lease because he is bitter the Florida House of Representatives screwed him out of a hosting a Super Bowl by not having the taxpayers have a vote on them revenating Sunlife(or whatever) Stadium. Thus, Ross who is a billionaire doesn't want to pay for these upgrades on his own and wants taxpayers to pay for it is punishing the Miami hurricanes because as Stern said they want to work with Beckham and his expansion MLS franchise to build a 40-50k stadium for soccer and college football, but Ross doesn't want it because he wants the taxpayers to pay for his stadium upgrades.

Location, location. Some kids want to play close to home for their families to come and watch. Miami will always recruit fine as long as they have a decent coach. Doug Marrone would be a good coach for them as recruiting would take care of itself and he would have weapons on annual basis to do some damage.

I think part of the problem is that they're not getting the volume of great recruits they used to get. Their location is a big help, and that mystique isn't dead. But we'll see at some point if Golden gets that turnaround season everyone predicts at the start of every year. Wonder how much longer he even has to do it.

If it weren't for the U logo I would think it was a Dolphins game.

the players must come from very small families then by the looks of the photos.

FWIW....we have talking about this same deal since before the birth of their current roster

Ross ended up paying for the upgrades all on his own 100% out of his pocket with NO tax breaks (and they have already begun construction) and the Politicians in the area messed up because now in the end for every "big event" (ie Super Bowl, NCAA Playoff ,world cup, wwe wrestlemania..etc) held in his stadium (since the county and city didn't want a partnership with him, Ross retains 100% ownership of the building) he will get a payout from the city and county now per "their" deal they wanted. Essentially Ross will double-dip now. When a Super Bowl is held there he keeps all of that money since he owns the building (after the NFL takes it cut out), plus the city pays him to hold the event there under the deal the county/city wanted.

Ross actually gave the City and County a sweet-heart offer initially where he paid for 70-80% of the upgrades out of his own pocket and a "hotel tax" just paid for by tourists would have paid for the rest over 20 years or so, not taxpayer money to the locals. The politicians shot it down (because one big politician in the state had a grudge against him and refused to let it go to a vote since he had that power and ran out the clock on the bill), and ended up countering with this offer which is actually a better offer for Ross in the long-run and makes him MORE $$! Since the vast majority of politicians in the area were on Ross's side they strong-armed the guy with the grudge into just getting out of the way of this. But it was too late he already cost the region money! He pays for all of the upgrades (since he was paying close to 80% to begin with not a big deal) and now he gets massive payouts for every large event. Gotta love politicians! One guy essentially let his personal vendetta against Ross cost the state, county, and city millions if not billions in the end.
