Last year???? Someone had a picture of the glass roof that covered the fans, but not the field. IMO, that looked cool. I agree domes are crap, but protection for the fans are okay.
don't want a dome, and I agree with your statement..doesn't mean the fan will be engaged into the game correctly, and your still talking about fans being 50 60 yards from their players..Thats not good during the course of a game.. Even when we were winning, what do you think goes thru players minds when they walk out of the tunnel in that stadium?..This fanbase has issues, and it comes from years of not having an identity, and being robbed of it when we did..We went from 1 extreme to the other..Its time to build that bridge again...or else.. I watched this show on ESPNU last year, it was on after the U'' got embarrassed on national TV against FSU I believe, Kirk Kurbster and Musburger had the call, the canes came out in that game and sleepwalked, and Kurk was trying to target the main reason why, he just couldn't believe that in a game like this there was no emotion..So the next day he was on this show with a bunch of college coaches, and they talked about it for 15 mins, and really put it into perspective, all the coaches were talking about how that stadium is ''anticeptic, how its not constructed to provide an atmosphere that was accustomed here, Kirk stated that he absolutely believes that the stadium had everything to do with their flat performance, all the coaches agreed that as long as the U plays their games there, their gonna suffer, and so will college football...They said it is so bad that networks will eventually not wanna broadcast there.. I wonder how it feels to be a player, and not be proud of where you play..
You are continuing to ignore what players and others are saying to you in indirect ways..Ive heard many examples.. Dan Marino will tell you strait up if asked...He fu^%in hates it...He's just so bad *** he threw the rock anywhere, but he damn well knew what impact it had or in this case, didn't have, on his team. Our differences lye in our interpretation of the word ''Rock''..and how much energy is needed to actually affect a players performance and your opponents performance.
I think the bottom line is nothing can be done to "fix" SLS as far as the seats go. It's either a new stadium or deal with it. And I don't think a new stadium is happening. It's one of many reason I believe this team is the darkhorse candidate to be in L.A.
and trust me, the ones that do go, do not roast in the sun either, their in the corridors, thats why their never in their seats at 1 oclock games, and players have to see that during their intro's, its disgusting and understandable at the same time..
Marino would tell us nothing of the sort. His time in Miami saw plenty of noise at JRS. The players are not the ones who tell us in indirect ways. They're the ones who need to keep the fans on their feet once they're up screaming, and lately that has not happened.
Yep. Win and they will come. Hell, I'm sure fans will want to see a young franchise QB, despite how good the rest of the team is.
If your telling me that Dan Marino is not aware of the situation that i'am talking about here, you are 100 percent wrong..He is Oz..
lol, damn it OZ you know exactly what Iam talkin about..Marino is aware of the disadvantages that this stadium presents to a franchise..
ok guys I think spending money on a stadium in this ecconomical climate may not be wise but lets take this into consideration which several people have mentioned lets make renovations to accomodate the fans and make a area for people with questionable health to get out of the blasted heat and that fill help with attendance. Next , it makes no difference which type of offense you have that affecets attendance its the win -loss column and the price of admittance and the product on the field .. I would recomend waiting until the ecconomy gets better before thinking about a new stadium . Also this club needs to have superstar players that fans want to see not players who drop passes and firld goals. The ecconomy needs to get right and the team needs to be rebuilt right not rebuilt with cheap basement bargin players .
Has nothing to do with my post. It's like vacationing in Rome and just staying in your room. We're blessed with sunshine and warmth. I cannot fathom shutting that out.
Another reason why you won't see Ross privately fund a stadium is because he just paid for this one. I'm not sure he's even done paying for it yet. Who's going to spend a billion dollars on a new stadium when you just spent -- and publicly regret -- a billion purchasing the team and the stadium? I don't believe he has the resources to do it, either. As an aside, wherewould we build it? - sent from my EVO 3D via Tapatalk -
Ding. Ding. Ding. We have a winner! The City of Miami and Miami-Dade County just spent years denying a downtown stadium to the Marlins, eventually convincing them to take the Orange Bowl's location. Ross would undoubtedly want a downtown Miami location as well, considering the highway access. But if not downtown, then where? South Florida is fairly well developed, and there's a western development line along the Everglades where nothing can be built (and no one can get to anyway). So where would this new stadium go? Is Ross going to buy up super-expensive land in Coral Gables and then sink a few hundred million dollars into a stadium? I don't think so. I could see a plan to demolish and then build a new stadium in SLS' current place, but where would the Dolphins play for the 2-3 year interim period? Offseason renovations are really our only option.
have you looked closely to what they did to soldier field?, the only thing I like about ''no life'' is that its an oval shape with no openings, if they could somehow do what they did at Soldier field to our's we'd be set..That place is ridiculously cool, intimate and loud..Players and fans absolutely love it.
Bears players have been complaining about Soldier Field and its turf for a couple of years now, man. But the point remains, we can't get a new stadium in South Florida given the lack of space to build one. There's nowhere to put it. So we'll have to keep renovating, and Dee and Ross are trying to get a tourist tax passed for that.
