Someone Had To Do It: Miami Attendance

[TexanMark]

Huge opportunity to show the Bowl Folks, CFB world and recruits we love the Orange.

Getting to 40K actual butts in seats should be the goal.

The students and band will have 500 vs 6500 due to Thanksgiving.

Time for the 315, 607 and 585 to step up and make up the difference.

Coach Fran and this team deserves to play in front of a sold out dome against Miami!!

That is an ugly map

Crazy it’s the biggest game of the year.

That is an ugly map

It's not as ugly when you remove resale. Even less ugly when you remove student section, which is going to be hard to fill out.

Lower and middle are otherwise full. Upper isn't doing terrible, but that away side still has tickets that never seem to move.

SU and Legends might need to rework pricing on the visiting 300 level for '25

This is why being ranked matters. The nacho eating aisle standers need flashy, shiny objects.

Hey - nothing wrong with Nacho eaters (especially the original Dome nachos).

I mean.. we traveled quite well to BC. We had 60% of the crowd. Just don't send us to Fenway bowl!

whoa whoa... Im a nacho guy. Not sure how to take this. Double cheese extra jalapeño every damn game. Dome cheese isn't flashy or shiny.

For clarity, I'm talking about the people who eat their nachos while standing in the aisle during live play. Lol

 

[OttoinGrotto]

Someone did not, in fact, have to do it.

That said it was inevitable and I can't believe nobody took the bait I set out Saturday.

 

[Scooch]

It may not be a sellout but it’ll look like a sellout I imagine. Maybe some empties up top where the students usually are.

I agree, it’s actually pretty good IF … they are not holding any seats back. Checking resale sites, tickets are moving steadily .

 

[Marsh01]

at all costs fill this place up. Give tickets away...whatever it takes. The empty seats in the 3rd deck were brutal

Yup...Tarp the top student section if needed, both sidelines top and bottom need to be full

Lot of the student section seats have been sold . Those fans might whine about having a tarp over them ….. Prices on resell sites are higher than any games by far …… they know something.

hahah

Over 150 a pop for upper sidelines is crazy. God bless those who can and do afford that.

 

[Eric15]

Not being able to sell out a 42k stadium for this matchup, when we have one of our best teams of this century, play a genuinely exciting brand of football, and are playing a Top 10 team and nostalgic rival, is just pathetic to me.

Yeah looks like those 300 level seats that are normally for the students are pretty well sold.

I think turnout will be strong. Nothing to worry about

The cheapest tickets on TM are $60/each right now. So a couple who wants a night out is going to drop $200 when you factor in $30 to park at Skytop and a snack at the game. I bought a couple extra this week but I can understand why many may say, sorry, too expensive. I'll watch it on TV.

I always tell people, if you think there is even a remote chance you might want to attend a game or two, buy season tickets. That way you are locked in and for the price of maybe 2 games, you can get the entire season.

Those at 150 a pop are essentially midfield first few rows of the upper section. Those are prices your going to pay anywhere for a D1 Power 5 football especially against a top 10 opponent.

When I get home I'll lift up any of my couch cushions. Have your DM's open later dwil

All the same caveats apply that we've gone over a million times on the board but the big one is SU isn't giving away tickets anymore for these games. As DPCuse pointed out if you don't have season tickets and you want to go to the game it isn't going to be cheap unless your OK sitting way up top so I assume more then a few who considered it will instead choose to watch it from home or apparently go to Meiers Creek.

The holiday weekend is also a factor. I know several regulars who will be missing the game due to Thanksgiving.

Lastly while Miami moves the needle for us diehards, SU has played Miami once the last two decades and not at home in more then two decades. The casual fan probably doesn't even realize a playoff bid is on the line for Miami much less our history.
