I don't think we will be competing with Miami for recruits until we have an on-campus stadium.


Yea, um wheres Miami's stadium now? Dolphin Stadium? They can't say they have a home either really…

Difference is they have never had an on-campus stadium, they can draw 50,000 fans to Dolphin Stadium and FAU can't hardly get 12,000 in Lockhart.

they drew 43.5k last season at home in the OB…

think that will continue with the increased drive, and parking fees that will come with the move to Dolphin Stadium?

Interesting question, actually.  OB had a lot of nastalgia and used to be home to a good football team… I do wonder how responsive UM fans will be to driving over to dolphin stadium.  I also wonder if Huizenga will rip them off by charging $20 to park too.

Like things, love people.

As long as their team is good they will continue to have a large fan base.  Pro Player allows UM fans from Broward and Palm Beach easier access to the games.  But just like all other South Florida teams, if they dont play well there wont be anyone there.

Teambeer is the most knowledgeable FAU sports fan I know, way smarter than me.

Back on topic…

Has Bo Williams actually enrolled at FAU, or is all this still just speculation?

43,000 and they were a bad team. I don't know if they will average 50,000 at Dolphin Stadium, but they will get 50,000+ for big games and as Walty12 pointed out playing at Dolphin Stadium allows fans from Broward and Palm Beach easier access to Miami games.

Bottom line is that Miami has never played on campus and they still draw fans and get top recruits. FAU will need the on-campus stadium to compete with Miami for recruits.

i go mixed on this…i think it will be a combo of both…big draws on big games, but lesser draws on lesser games than before in the OB…

Is FAU actually in the mix?? Has Bo expressed an interest in FAU or is it just a rumor that someone started to get our hopes up??

It was on a UF message board, they are all convinced he is going to FAU because they don't have room for him with all the people he is behind in line to play.
