Why doesn’t Miami build a small stadium like Tulane has?

Makes no sense to travel across town to play at Hard Rock Stadium. All they need is a 35-40k seat stadium that they might could get close to filling up.

My guess would be space. The university is pretty compact and it is sandwiched in between Coral Gables and Miami proper.

Because Coral Gables is the final boss of NIMBYs

Where is the space to build any stadium near their campus?

It’s minor miracle Tulane was able to get theirs built w/ how hard the NIMBYS fought them and even then they were able to frick up its design w/all their complaining. Miami would have to deal w/the same shite.

Miami does not

I assume there's housing now where the Sugar Bowl used to be?

Because they play big games, unlike Tulane

Student apartments, a quad, and the rec center.

“Come play in our small stadium comparable to Tulane and Vandy”
“Come play in NFL stadium Hard Rock Stadium”
Hmm wonder what sounds better to recruits
(Maybe doesn’t matter now bc it’s all about the $$$ for recruits now)

There were plans to build a stadium on campus when Howard Schnellenberger was head coach and there was room at the time but probably not anymore, especially since a basketball arena was built on campus almost 25 years ago.
The big issue has always been traffic with the school crammed in a heavily residential area and no freeways nearby.

Have you ever been on their campus?

Miami has way more fans than you think

Miami cannot afford both to build and maintain a stadium, even a small one while also paying players.
Land in South Florida is stupid expensive and it would cost over $1 billion to build them a dedicated stadium, plus the cost of maintaining it.
They (smartly) are choosing to spend their money on players.

When they are winning at a high level. When they aren't, that Hurrigangsta gear is in the closet and the FSU/Florida gear comes out. They have a 100% phony fandom.

When they win, yes, they come out a little bit, but still can’t fill the Hard Rock.

99% of The Miami games they have maybe half of the stadium filled.A lot of Tulane fans at their games.
