re: So much for The U being a crappy job

The university should have built a new stadium much closer to campus in the past 7 years. Now, at this point they do need a new stadium and to update facilities. If they do this, they could easily become a powerhouse again, given the insane amount of talent there and their football history.

There isn't any room on campus to build a large enough stadium to accommodate 60,000 fans and parking. The traffic situation would be beyond ridiculous. Sun Life Stadium is a reasonably accessible (for South Florida anyway) central location for their fan base in the Dade-Broward-Palm Beach Tri-County population. With that facility, it will never make sense to build an on-campus stadium. They definitely need to upgrade the practice and workout facilities. Miami fans are fair weather fans. They will draw fans if they win. They used to outdraw the Dolphins back in the 80's.
