Miami Gulliver Prep four-star wide receiver and
LSU commit
Jalen Brown had never been to a gameday in Baton Rouge, La., prior to this weekend.
Suffice to say, he walked away impressed.
“I went to a couple of college games over the last two years,” Brown told On3. “That stadium is just, I don’t know what it is, it’s just different. The fans’ just different. Everybody’s cheering the whole entire game.”
“The visit was great,” Brown said. “It’s always fun to go with my family, hang around and go watch the Tigers play in Tiger Stadium. That was my first game at Tiger Stadium. It didn’t turn out as planned but it was still a good game, good environment.”

The Broward Fans (for 15 years) have been saying once the U starts winning…they’ll fill up the HRS seats. BULL SHIT.
THE GOAT TEAM (2001 Canes) only averaged 46k Fans……(Lots of winning-Undefeated).
The Canes need a 50k seat Stadium near Campus. Oregon has the #2 rated stadium atmosphere in College Football in their 50k seat Stadium.
That’s all the Canes need. Mario knows.
Duke Basketball has the Best Atmosphere in all of sports in their tiny Cameron Arena.
A 50k seat Stadium fits the Canes Fanbase.
Please Good Lord…..no more thousands of empty Teal Seats 24 miles
from Campus. It’s killing the U Program.
15 years and counting.
For God’s Sake, The U doesn’t play Notre Dame for every Home Game.
All these ignorant County Commissioners and Broward/WPB Fans that don’t want a Football Stadium built at Tropical Park……..News Flash - There’s already a Football Stadium built at Tropical Park that takes up a lot of space.
The current Football Stadium at Tropical Park is old and is in bad shape.
It needs to be replaced. There’s no reason why the County and its Citizens should refuse to let a UM Grad Billionaire tear down the old Stadium and build a State of the Art 50k seat Stadium that would benefit the local (2.8 miles away) University and all of the County Residents.
Why say no to major improvements to the Park?
Why say no to a Stadium that UM would use for 7 games a year.
A new State of the Art Stadium with a Retractable Roof would benefit the County and its Residents far more than it would UM.
The Legendary Orange Bowl:
-building financed by Burdines Store
-operated by UM for 70 years of Home Games
-built on City of Miami Land
The OB had events, concerts, High School Games, etc that benefited all Dade County Residents.
The same could be done with a Retractable Roof 50k seat Stadium at Tropical Park on Park Land that’s already dedicated to a Stadium.
————————————————————
The U needs Receivers and the top 4 WRs in S/FL are headed to LSU, FSU, Gators and Ohio State.
The U will never be back to a Championship Level until they can once again play in a Championship Level Atmosphere Stadium (like the old OB) that attracts the top rated S/FL recruits.
The U will not be able to keep the needed Top S/FL recruits home until they get a Stadium that can match the atmospheres at LSU, FSU, the Swamp and the OSU Horseshoe.
HRS (not a top 100 College Stadium) is not the answer.
The HRS atmosphere doesn’t attract the (needed) top ranked recruits to win Championships.
The HRS just can’t compete with the Stadium Atmospheres of LSU, the Swamp, FSU, Ohio State, Bama, Georgia, Texas, etc. that are so attractive to the top rated recruits.
The sooner the people in S/FL realize that, the sooner we can build a Stadium that is FIT for the Canes so UM can start winning Championships again.
If the Canes want to be Champions again……….
The U needs to prioritize the wants and needs of Recruits……….
not the wants and needs of the Broward/WPB Fans.

Examples——
Former Head Coaches:
Jimmy Johnson and Howard Schnellenberger
Current Head Coach:
Mario Cristobal
Current Player:
Tyler Van Dyke
Former Player:
Alonzo Highsmith
Current Recruit:
Jalen Brown
All think Stadium Atmospheres
Matter.
Does anybody think the above named were ever impressed by the Atmosphere at Hard Rock Stadium?
Jimmy and Howard Coached inside HRS…….why would these 2 UM Legendary Coaches want the Canes out of HRS????
Jalen Brown grew up in S/FL. Why would he rather play in Tiger Stadium than HRS?
Tyler Van Dyke rather play anywhere’s else other than HRS………what more does UM need to hear to wake up and move the Fock out of HRS.
All these named UM Legends want a Miami Hurricanes OB 2.0 Stadium at Tropical Park.
All know that HRS is NOT RIGHT for the U.
Is there any current or former UM Player or Coach that doesn’t want their own Hurricanes OB 2.0 Stadium?
Does any want to stay in HRS?
Please tell me who…….
I’ve given Hundreds of examples of why the U needs to get back in a Home Stadium like the OB……….,and all I get in return is either be banned or have my messages being deleted by the Site Moderators who live in Broward County.
As long as the Broward / WPB HRS Lovers are allowed to hi-jack the U Program for selfish reasons……..The Canes will be stuck in mediocrity (just like the last 15 years at HRS).
It doesn’t matter how good the U Coaches are………they will always be handicapped by HRS.

It is also widely recognized that the homefield advantage that the Hurricanes enjoyed in the Orange Bowl was exponentially greater than in their newer home. This was in great part due to the atmosphere of the Orange Bowl.
The Hard Rock Stadium seats are set further back from the field than comparable seats at the Orange Bowl. As a result, even at its loudest, Hard Rock Stadium is nowhere near as loud as the Orange Bowl.
