New Blog: Anonymous Eagle covering Marquette!

Dear ESPN's Heather Dinich

I like you. I subscribe to your posts. You seem good-natured and I think you actually like ACC football, which is more than I can say for anyone who's forced to cover it. I don't even disagree with you when you note the situation at Dolphin Stadium is not ideal.  

That said, this is what I would like to suggest upon reading that:

Say what?

Empty seats for Miami football? It just doesn’t seem right.

I went to every home game for four years. Aside from Florida, FSU, and Notre Dame, there was exactly one game where the OB was remotely close to selling out (Oklahoma in ’86).

Empty seats in Dolphin Stadium? Ain’t nothing new.

I wish it DID have a venue that reflects it

or at least one the City of Miami won’t run into the ground through fiscal mismanagement, as well as butts in the seats, but it’s like this: I can complain about my momma, but you can’t. Dig? Also, are we gonna have to labor under this “slam” forever? A small school with a relatively large percentage of non-local alumni doesn’t sell out high capacity stadiums in one of the most fabulous cities in the world. Get over it, America, and move on. At least I don’t have to wait an hour to pee.

Boooooop.

Word

This is not a problem unique to Miami, its true of all small private schools in major cities. No one bitches because Georgia Tech gives away tickets for free to their games, and STILL doesnt sell out, and they play in a 50,000 seat stadium on campus. Rest assured if we had a 50,000 seat stadium on campus it would sell out for years at a time. But we play in a venue that hosts Super Bowls an hour away. Sorry.
