HRS is ranked #28 out of 30 NFL Teams Stadiums
HRS is ranked #64 out of 124 College Football Stadiums
———————————————————
The Sporting News ranks HRS #28 out of 30 NFL Stadiums.
HRS is only ranked higher than the Washington Commanders FedEx Stadium (30) and the Buffalo Bills Stadium (29).
————————————————————
#28 - Hard Rock Stadium (Dolphins)
Open since: 1987 | Capacity: 65,236 | Surface: Platinum TE Paspalum
It's been 30 years, and the venue already has been called Joe Robbie Stadium, Pro Player Stadium, Land Shark Stadium and Sun Life Stadium. It has been a solid home for all things Miami football; it just lacks anything spectacular.

26. Hard Rock Stadium – Miami Dolphins(Previously: 25)
Renovations in recent years keep this spot from being lower in our ranking NFL stadiums. While it is a frequent host of the Super Bowl, that can be largely credited to the location. Hard Rock Stadium will stick around, especially thanks to its history. But Miami would love something modern and calls for it might happen with the Dolphins fielding a playoff-caliber roster in 2022.
————————————————————
Per Bleacher Report:
64. Sun Life Stadium: Miami (FL) Hurricanes
Sun Life Stadium is probably more widely known as being home to the Miami Dolphins, and also the Orange Bowl.The Miami Hurricanes also call this place home. It has been around since 1987 and seats 76,500.
The atmosphere here is average as best, and the stadium is kind of located in a not-so-great residential area.
Still, this is Miami, so the weather is nice, and the place can get loud at times.

“The top 124 Loudest Atmosphere College Football Stadiums”
——————————————————
The old Orange Bowl was built in 1937.
The Texas A&M Stadium was built in 1927.
The City of Miami Politicians decided to demolish the Legendary Orange Bowl Stadium and forced the Miami Hurricanes to rent the #64 ranked College Stadium (HRS) that’s a ridiculous one hour’s drive from the UM Campus……. HUGE MISTAKE!!
Texas A&M decided to invest in repairing, remodeling and expanding their Stadium to 102,000 seats……..GREAT DECISION!!
Now, Texas A&M (12th Man) Kyle Field is one of the Best Top Ranked College Stadiums in the Country.
The Aggies and Jimbo have all the needed tools in their tool box……….Mario doesn’t.
Now, Texas A&M just signed the
#1 Recruiting Class (2022) in America.
(Miami’s own Shemar Stewart says Hello).
The Aggies used their Home-Field Advantage College Atmosphere Stadium to beat the Alabama Crimson Tide this past season.
LSU Tigers Stadium is the #1 Ranked Stadium.
I’ve been to games at both the LSU Tigers Stadium and the Old Miami Orange Bowl.
The OB was louder than LSU’s Stadium with similar atmospheres.
UM was cutting corners when they hired Head Coaches like Coker, Shannon, Golden and Manny.
UM is cutting corners by renting #64 HRS.
“Cutting corners doesn’t win Championships” —-per Ted Hendricks.
UM finally decided to hire a REAL HEAD COACH in Super Mario and his Super Coaching Staff.
A REAL HEAD COACH……..not another Temple Coach like Al Golden and Manny Diaz.
UM definitely didn’t settle with this Head Coach hire………..so why in the Hell is UM settling on renting HRS (#64 ranked College Stadium) that’s one hour’s drive from Campus……..who’s making this decision?
Why settle and be like Temple and Pitt?
Come-On DanRad….Do your JOB!
One more Box to Check:
-Got the Head Coach and Staff..
-Got the Facilities..
-Got the NIL Money..
-XXXXXXX - Don’t have College Stadium
(Renting #64 is not going to cut it)
ie; When Mario goes toe-to-toe with Jimbo, Saban and Dabo for a recruit, Mario’s got to go to war with the Fact he’s the only one at the table trying to sell to a Recruit a Home Stadium that UM has
to rent/borrow, that’s Ranked #64 in the country, that was originally built for World Cup Soccer, Major League Baseball, Monster Trucks, Super MotorCross Races and the ass kicker…….it’s located one hour’s drive from the UM Campus.
Mario has to fight off these Elite Football Program Coaches with both arms tied behind his back.
Mario is going to give it his all.
That’s the way he’s wired.
But, why Handicap Mario with #64 Stadium?
Why not let Ruiz build Mario a Kick-Ass College Atmosphere Stadium made for College Football?
A Stadium 3.5 miles from Mario’s Office so Mario can show it to Recruits everyday, all day.
A UM Stadium to Showcase UM’s Legenday History by having Statutes of Howard Schnellenberger, Jimmy Johnson, Vinny Testaverde and Gino Torretta placed by the Stadium’s Front Entrance.
A Stadium with Huge Displays of UM’s (5) National Championship Teams, with every UM All-American players Names/Images painted on the Stadium walls and Shrines
Displaying all the UM players who were inducted into the NFL Hall of Fame.
A Stadium with Orange and Green seats (no teal) with the “U” Logo painted all over the Stadium (no more green plastic tarps covering Dolphin Logos).
A Stadium that could be built like a Orange Bowl Replica.
With an Open East Endzone with views of Palm Trees, The beautiful Biltmore Hotel, the UM Campus Dorm Towers, the City Skyline of Coral Gables, Brickell and Coconut Grove.
(Beautiful View just like the old Historic
Orange Bowl).
Is there anybody out there that doesn’t think a UM Stadium like this would help Mario’s Recruiting?
Is the Hurricanes Nation giving its all by renting the #64 ranked College Stadium in the beautiful Miami Gardens?
(Be honest, who wants to get a flat tire in the Miami Gardens area at 1130pm? -
The University has an obligation to keep
its Students Safe - forcing Students to drive an hour from Campus to a Dangerous Neighborhood is Not Right).
Can’t the Hurricanes Nation Support Mario and give him all the tools needed to Win a National Championship?
The Hurricanes Nation would want Mario Fired if Mario’s Recruiting Classes was ranked #64…
The Hurricanes Nation would want Mario Fired if Mario’s Football Team was ranked #64…
So why in the Hell does the Hurricanes Nation want to continue to rent the #64 Ranked College Football Stadium???????
It’s time to Fire HRS.
THE TIME IS NOW to Build UM a top ranked College Atmosphere Football Stadium close to the Campus so the Canes can compete with the Elite College Football Programs.
Tear down the Old Football Stadium at Tropical Park and build a new Stadium in its place. Build a new Stadium a little bit wider and a little bit taller suited for UM’s Fanbase (50-54k seats) and also build it for Dade County High School Football.
The new Stadium could be used for youth leagues, Camps, Dade County events, etc.
A new Stadium at Tropical Park will benefit all of Dade County.
There’s 3 Highways (826, 876 and Turnpike) surrounding Tropical Park for 50-54 Fans for 6 days a year.
The old OB had ONE Highway 836 for 80k Fans.
There’s plenty of space at Tropical Park for parking / tailgating for 6 days a year.
Let’s be ……”ALL IN”
No more cutting corners.
