First, Miami is the best venue for the NC game by a long shot. It is not even close. South Beach was pretty off the charts today and tonight.

Second Notre Dame fans have shown up. I would estimate about 7-3 in Miami right now. Best guess, maybe 100k people out earlier tonight in SOBE and Dame fans made it so it was hard to even tell Bama fans made the trip. The Clevelander was packed out by ND fans raising hell and I think bama fans just left or something.

Third, the ND chant "You'll never beat the IRISH" is bad arse. I think I have about lost my voice from yelling it so much the past 3 nights and days.

Last, both fan bases have been class acts down here. Every bama and dame fan have been cool as shite and respectful while talking some shite and yelling Roll Tide or Let's Go Irish or You'll never beat the Irish.

Notre Dame fans will outnumber bama fans by a wide margin at the game tomorrow night. Book that.

I'm surprised they can even remember the chant after what their program has been through post-Holtz, but then Bama does Rammer-Jammer after 1 point wins, so both programs do things that make no damn sense.

Oh yeah, Fountainbleau is still rocking. Went by it a little while ago and it was still covered up with people in the lobby and outside and everywhere partying hard.

Limo's, taxis, people everywhere.

And any word if AJ has expanded his chest portrait?

Notre Dame will outnumber Bama in the stadium, but it won't be a wide margin.

The newness has worn off for Alabama fans. They aren't willing to pay out the arse for National Championship tickets and hotel rooms for the 3rd time in 4 years.

Wait and see. Probably 100k people on SOBE tonight at about 7pm. MC said who thinks bama will win? Little bit of cheering. Who thinks Notre Dame will win? Total eruption. AT LEAST 7-3 tonight. And the Clevelander was more like 80% ND fans.

I am sure the game will be more even as far as fans. But ND WILL have more by a good margin. Period.

That's a little surprising. I figured ND would have more fans but didn't think it would be by THAT much. Hope us gumps brought tickets!

Yep. This is it. I was with a bama alum that was in NOLA last year for the title game. And he thought the same.

I can believe ND fans will outnumber Bama fans overall. It's been a while since they have been to anything this big. It makes sense.

None.

JFF was on stage though early in the night (I think - they announced him but I was too far away to see him). Dude gets around.

I''l guess 60-40 or 65-35 in the stadium tomorrow. I'll tell you this though, those Catholics like to party their balls off apparently. I've seen the last 2 sunrises out partying and they have taken over Miami. This afternoon at the fanfest and concerts on South Beach, they were doing their thing big and totally took over the Clevelander and beach concerts.

Unfortunately for me though, I gotta get to sleep and go to work tomorrow.

Really wish I had taken tomorrow off. I am addicted to that "You'll never beat the Irish" chant now.

Not like the crowd will be a factor either way.

My point is, we've heard this refrain the last two times, and at the end of the game it sure looked and sounded like it was all Bama.

Is this Clevelander place the only club / bar in South Beach, or just the only one that will let you in?

Yes there are more Notre Dame fans at this scripted events. Many of the Bama fans are older blood and either have been to these the last couple of years, or enjoying the Miami scenery. I will say tommorow night I will be very close in the Stadium depsite what you have said.
