I laughed at loud at the author-title combo.
What money do you think you spent on player facilities? they painted the locker room and put in LEDs. they are still sitting on the same aluminum planks in the locker room from 1970 also.And for all the money spent on player facilities etc I am sitting on the same aluminum plank that's been there since the '70's .
We've had season tickets since '93 and you used to be able to get a hotel for under $100 and there wasn't a 2 night minimum. It made going to the later games much easier. I'm just not willing to spend $250 a night for 2 nights for a room at the Hampton Inn. I'm sure this effects the ability of younger fans to attend.
And for all the money spent on player facilities etc I am sitting on the same aluminum plank that's been there since the '70's and now you can't even bring a cushion into the stadium. We still enjoy going and just renewed another year so Go Gators.

Total bullshyt. You are total liars and rarely have 10k in the stands.86,000 vs. $58,000
My boss is a former college football player and loves to go any games; NFL, college, or high school. He was in Miami on a business trip and decided to go to the scUM-Va Tech game back in October. According to him, there were a lot more fans at the stadium than i tlooked like on TV as they were all partying and not actually in their seats. To him it appeared the on the field action was an after thought that the fans would only catch a bit of. Seems odd to me, but it is a different culture down there.Total bullshyt. You are total liars and rarely have 10k in the stands.
I agree 1000%In order to go fast, you must go slow.
The same applies here...
- reduce the capacity
- install bigger and more comfortable seating
- keep pricing the same, or reduce it
- have traditional food options that are of high quality at a reasonable price but also offer healthy options and a few exotic options
- great wifi
Do the above and people will fill the stadium to capacity. This will create a demand that will then create the ability to make a fortune!

Gatorinknox, review this by enrollment stats with UF @ approx. 52,000 vs. UM @ approx. 17,000.. Football game attendance average @ UF approx. 86,000 vs. $58,000 @ UM (probably inflated & not paid ticket #'s). Thus, I will reduce this number to 30,000. UF & FSU - majority of enrolled students are from the State of FL vs. UM - majority of students from out-of-state & few can afford the costs @ Miami vs. a state school unless on some type of scholarship. Thus, if you do the math on this, we do pretty well in attendance particularly since we have to compete with pro football, pro basketball, NASCAR, South Beach venue, etc. etc. vs. Gainesville ???
I was born @ Alachua Gen. Hosp. and my relatives are in Hampton (Bradford Co.), and know this is a very nice area, however, there is virtually no competition for attendance @ UF football games plus alums only have to travel up to a max of 5-6 hours to attend games and I suspect the majority far less. So, there you go....I am finished with my lesson for the day.
Yes, just remember, I have a new pig valve which is working great; thus, don't continue to make fun of my team attendance as I will oink you to death!!!
Obviously, based on facts, attendance has nothing to do with winning football games - wouldn't you agree?
Gee that’s interesting. The difference in alumni and enrollment never seemed to affect Miami attendance back in the 80’s and 90’s when you had a stadium full of fans with Dolphins gear on
My point is that Miami has never had a true fan base. Instead what you had were a bunch of bandwagon people that love winners
Now that the winning has waned you are left with your 10k true fan base

Fooley and his slumlords are still in the building lining their own pockets. I promise the Fooley does not have the same seat from 1970.
To be fair, you werent the one who made the silly comment that they heard that we've been spending money on football facilities.What? Say it aint so! This is the first time I have ever heard this.
Obviously, based on facts, you suck at both - wouldn’t you agree?Obviously, based on facts, attendance has nothing to do with winning football games - wouldn't you agree?
