Miami Hurricanes BIG Stadium Update | Tropical Park Plans Look WILD!

[@CoachCoop]

*What do you guys LIKE and NOT LIKE about these plans?? Speak up and voice YOUR opinion! It does matter.*

[@ONE_FLYMINGO]

There is nothing not to like. We absolutely need a stadium period. We play on neutral site. Ppl can say whatever they want but the fact is we need our own stadium. Seems to me that even a billionaire understands this as well and is trying to make it happen!!!

Coop. There is a bottleneck problem. 16k cars going up that road to the garage is going to take several hours to enter and exit.

[@emilymanzano1853]

A lot of Miami residents are not in favor of this stadium due to tropical park being a major park here in the city and the increase of already bad traffic on bird road and Miller (not to mention the jam that would ensure right there on the expressway).

[@moblife84bw]

I still feel they should give the tropical park location to the marlins if* they don't sale the team, and give the canes the original o.b site and renovate it into a college stadium, its only right because it should've never been turned in to a baseball ghost town,

[@JDomesticTravel]

I work at that ghost town… it’s sad af

[@timpeters4699]

It'll still be a ghost town they only fill half the stadium normally the only time they ever fill the stadium was when FSU Comes To Town

[@victorgutierrez8443]

I live down the street from here. Let’s Go Canes!

[@victoraccattatis7481]

Love it contingent upon them solving potential traffic congestion problems and parking issues. Hope it's feasible to create those 16 k underground spaces. Yes definitely needs a retractable roof. This project will also need to look at revenue enhancement for the county so should include shopping, restaurants, and a convention hotel.

[@EeCeenCeeBee]

Coop, I live on the corner of 82 Ave to the left... I definitely plan to sell parking spots and I imagine a lot of my neighbors would do the same. Also, there is a solid bus route on the north and south side of the park (Bird Road 40th & Miller 56th). Traffic would be a nightmare anytime Santas was in town it was rough also for fourth of July they had a firework show and had to close down nearby roads to deal with traffic.

[@crayonwriter]

Well they want the canes there now haha... I hope atleast... Thats cool you live there though and got some inside info... Tell me more if you got more to say my man?

[@crayonwriter]

Well if we got ruiz money we can but we cant without it... Miami aint paying for a stadium by itself.

I believe that making a Metro Rail extension from the Dadeland area is VERY doable and it would supplement the parking situation GREATLY. I like the plan.

I'm probably in the minority here because I'm a Cowboys fan, lol.

[@SmittyEG]

Its actually bad you want all your teams to have fresh fields. If Canes play saturday and its a rainy game then the next day Phins have to play on that same field. I was super happy when Marlins stop sharing stadium with Phins that damn baseball dirt/football field was trash.

Great location, but both Miller Drive and Bird Road are parking lots when there's an event in Tropical park....I think students will be shuttled in since is fairly close to campus...but could be a nightmare for non-students.

[@jorgechiclana1297]

I live maybe 20 miles away and i can tell you that Palmetto expressway in far from an expressway its a parking lot without games happening. Traffic nightmare. Good concept unfortunately going to a game will take literally probably 4 to 5 hours of your life.

[@jorgechiclana1297]

That is 4 to 5 hours in commute alone.

[@rygygardens]

It's definitely throwing out some old Orange Bowl vibes with the shape of the stadium

[@JoeJoe-dx3rr]

Born and raised a Miami Hurricane fan. This is something that I’m 100% behind. Also as a Miami resident and native this location is perfect prime time central location. It’s right off of the palmetto so should be easy to access and not far from campus. If your a Miami Hurricane fan and love our community this is something to get behind!

[@traintrak]

10:24 Traffic is pretty bad during rush hour going westbound on Bird Road. Just to give you an idea, when Santa's Enchanted Forest used to be at Tropical Park, Bird Road would be stuck with bumper-to-bumper traffic both ways. Similarly with the COVID testing as well. And worst of all, there is pretty much no mass transportation in this area, so most people will be coming in cars to watch the games. As much as I like the idea of a new stadium, I don't think Tropical Park should be where it is built. (This is a personal preference, but I kinda like Tropical Park the way it is.)

[@TJ_Altimore]

Great video! If you ever need an interesting parallel for Miami, take a look at UCLA. People were VERY resistant about their leaving the shared L.A. Coliseum (with USC + NFL) for the Rose Bowl, and Terry Donahue quickly changed his mind and called it the most important day in the history of UCLA football. Miami would benefit TREMENDOUSLY from this nearby stadium!

[@ependarvis]

16,000-spot underground parking in South Florida?!? Not to be a downer, but won’t that flood? There is a reason that very few houses have basements in Florida. Even if only half of those spots are underground, I just don’t see it happening.

[@dianarodriguez9783]

Lake area floods all the time. I have walked the park after storms the walkways around the lakes under water. Architect can draw whatever he wants but an engineer needs to core sample and decide. To me this is crazy and no one mentions the large homes around park facing the huge stadium how will this affect their enjoyment and peace living in front of a 65k sest stadium with 16k parking? Maybe the palacial homeowners will want to pay for security to avoid overflow parking and people just arriving to hang out, outside the stadium.

[@tb6133]

If they got green/orange lights in the shape of the U at the top, that would be some nice night shots. And if they could do it with the seats as well

[@bizzmoneyb]

why not put some tailgate parking to the left of the stadium?

[@dianarodriguez9783]

Because there are million dollar homes there. The diagram is not well represented.

[@visage03]

Did he address larger vehicles like buses and limos? They take anywhere from 3 to 8 spaces.

[@nealb49]

They also carry many more people per vehicle.

[@joecompanion1237]

The way Construction in Florida is it’ll be done by 2030

[@concernedcitizen4503]

This is a great idea. Miami needs their own stadium, period, the end. This will truly put Miami on part and even surpass all the other major universities football schools. This is very much needed. Go Mr. Ruiz. You are definetely Appreciated for you Vision. Go Canes!

[@dianarodriguez9783]

Not paying more in taxes and not sure what this will do to my property value Bc I live next to the park.

[@jeffjarboe3634]

Other universities boat tailgating are on Navigate in a bowl waterways, not landlocked lakes

[@rogeliog9030]

I'm all for it, but swap out the two lakes for multilevel parking garages with drinks and food on the first level. Boats at a tail gate sound sounds cool, until you realize those boats are coming by trailer, not open water, which means parking for trucks/trailer too, too much of a hassle.

[@rogeliog9030]

Maybe keep one small lake with a Sebastian fountain that lights up at night, just for looks and small fishing, kayaking.

[@CoachCoop]

Ohhhh, I kind of dig this idea!

[@dianarodriguez9783]

I am sure the million dollar homes across from that area will enjoy this tremendously.

[@Wanzysworld]

As for traffic. Some said the recent 4th of July fireworks show was a nightmare getting out of the park. But if it’s coordinated correctly, fans can exit Miller Drive side and can drive East to get on the North or Southbound 826 , they can do the same exiting Bird Road. Fans like myself who live Downsouth can use either exit. But I noticed that shelters that are used for party rentals will be gone which is fine with me Lol. But like I mentioned it will be a lot of convincing and money to persuade the county to go along with any purposed plan.

[@justorodriguez6352]

Geit it done !!

[@Wanzysworld]

To add. Commissioner Souto just opened a I guess privately owned Performing Arts Center near Bird Road. The can add parking where the HILL is located. Also as long as my Park Ranger unit can work the games as for helping with parking will be awesome. As for a boating tailgate that’s will not work

[@dianarodriguez9783]

$$$$ thank you to Miami dade property tax payers for covering costs for a Um stadium. Why isn’t this in the gables? UM campus is in the gables?

[@PastorDanWhite]

Tech doesn’t have close up parking. They have a couple of parking garages. It’s a hike to Bobby Dodd Stadium.

[@JTcane1983]

Thanks for the update, I was just wondering what the heck is going on with the new stadium. I really miss the OB so I am super excited about a potential stadium of our own.

[@ddwchamp]

I remember a former Canes coach, perhaps Howard Schellenberger, wanted a small capacity stadium built back in the 80s. The powers to be indicated the Orange Bowl was rent free.

[@oddstreet11]

I think there's just to many hurdles to make this doable, the traffic situation will be a nightmare. Secondly I'm not so sure the county is willing to give up the land. This project is run close to a billion dollars by the time it's finished with cost overuns and roadway reconfigurations. I realize Ruiz has deep pockets, but you can't expect him to lay out a billion bucks for this thing and continue to be the biggest contributor of our NIL projects. Thirdly, you have the David Beckam (don't know if I spelled his name right ) professional soccer stadium project that's going to go up less than 10 miles from this stadium (if it happens), and the two projects will probably compete against each other for outside entertainment to generate revenue, not to mention high school football will still be played at this park, can't imagine game day if there's high school football and the U playing on the same day. Miami has never has it's own stadium, the only reason I see to even entertain the idea is to impress recruits. I get fans want the U to have it's own stadium, but a billion dollar venue just to play 6 or 7 games a year? Just seems like a waste to me. The bulk of the fans base doesn't even come from the school, it comes from north dade, Broward, and palm beach county. But it's not my money, we the fans base have beat this issue to death for the last 20 years, and it's always the same results. Just talk.

[@geysi6122]

The high school teams and UM other sports can share that stadium such as soccer, lacrosse, track and field, and etc.

[@dianarodriguez9783]

And the homes the area? What will they do with 65k seat stadium and 16k parking? Dedicate their time to selling overflow parking on our lawns? No thank you. Not willing to fund this. Also engineer needs to review core to see if parking and weight of stadium can be help up around that area. Area floods with most rain storms. This is a pipe dream leave the park as the last piece of greenies we have in south florida.

[@ShiftGolf]

Coop - First time I went by Tropical park was around 1967 - they had horse racing there - Over the years I have driven by the place but never went there. I think it is a great location for sporting events for the U, and also could be a venue for other gatherings(concerts ect) - The location is not bad with multiple connections of expressways very close by. I think if you can include other UM sports it would be a big hit locally and could be a first class football venue for the Miami Hurricanes for some years to come. Its also close to Miami Internationtional airport which visitors could use to come to for games and afford plenty of hotels and highschool practice facilities for visiting teams. Overall it would be a good option for the Canes. It definitely would draw a lot of folks all around the stadium.

[@dianarodriguez9783]

What about the homes that live right next to park? Some are large 1m plus homes?

[@lancesligar5015]

This is a Natural site, the ' greenery' you mentioned are mostly Australian pine trees, yuk!!! There are plenty of areas to designate parking, the creme de la creme solution would be golf cart service to transport fans to the stadium gates. The surrounding area will probably need to be elevated for the possibly low area in the event of torrential rains, which happen often. It's not unusual for rains to reach up to 1, or even 2 inches per hour, which would create flooding. As far as lake tailgating goes, that fits in nicely with the Ruiz family's ownership of Cigaret boats ,which could be rented or otherwise be utilized in some form to create a truly unique fan experience.

[@dianarodriguez9783]

Cigarette boat not going far in these lakes. If elevate this area where does the overflow go? To the million dollar plus homes across the way? You all aren’t looking past park to see what is around on the west side. Homes a quiet neighborhood with expensive homes may not want the mayhem of large stadium to add to already bad traffic on bird road and Miller drive.

[@Wanzysworld]

As a park Ranger supervisor that patrols Tropical Park at night I think the stadium would be great. But it will be a lot of pushback from the “Rich” neighbors along 82nd ave near Miller Drive. I know this is a proposal but are they keeping the police memorial and the equestrian center and will HS football team be able to use the stadium.

[@dianarodriguez9783]

And our tax dollars will secure and maintain the stadium. No thank you. Live by park agree 100%.

[@Wanzysworld]

Coop you can ask me questions if you like but one more thing to add. The baseball fields that you see on the current site was just recently renovated with donations/funding from the Miami Marlins. Now the teams that rent the fields can go to Tamiami Park but still if Money can talk the stadium will happen. Ruiz needs to pick my brain as well as Tropical Park Management

[@dianarodriguez9783]

I live in the area of the park there isn't enough room for stadium, fans, tailgating / parking. Congestion will be crazy. in and out of the park will be impossible. Need to find another place to put this.

[@dianarodriguez9783]

The lakes are enclosed and I don't see how boats will be launched into the alligator lakes. . . . Congestion and parking are going to be an issue and people will park in the neighborhoods around the park creating congestion and property damage to the Tropical Highlands.

[@johnbates5118]

Waco and Knoxville have river access for boats.

[@dianarodriguez9783]

There is no river here two enclosed lakes. No way to get boats in unless dropped in and small boats Bc lakes look larger than they are. I live across from park. This is a logistic nightmare.

[@carlosgarcia8770]

It's a beautiful concept, but even with shuttles that would take you to the stadium, traffic would be a nightmare. The U.

[@haroldfiallo9835]

There’s a small business building across bird rd that they can buy and build a parking garage.

[@javidavi99x]

Stupid question they can’t share the FIU Stadium? Or do it on the Fair Grounds

[@Dogsandwolves123]

I live near this park and I think this is a horrible idea. Tropical park is a major park in Miami that many residents enjoy including myself. That park is always full with people walking around the lakes, cycling through, and even the dog park is always full. There are not many places like this in Miami and destroying one of the few is going to impact the community in a negative way. On top of everything the traffic would become horrendous and completely backed up. I am completely against this idea!! I think they should find somewhere else to do the stadium or work out a new contract with someone else.

[@PastorDanWhite]

Lake Hartwell is there at Clemson’s stadium. It’s beautiful.

[@BigRonJ77]

[@michaelbishop5119]

[@johnshields8992]

Miami native stuck in memphis but was lucky enough to spend my childhood at the orange bowl watching Jimmy J’s canes.. all sounds great, but I’m meh on the roof.. i prefer the idea of bringing visiting teams into deep waters in south Florida…. hot, humid, with pop up down pours, which I think is the best aspect of hard rock, exposed field while the stands are covered, I think that’s the best home field advantage

PRO: Much closer to campus than either sun life or ob CON: as noted, traffic will be terrible it is already terrible in that area. Parking is a problem. Metro rail would be ideal solution as it provides transportation from campus and many parking garages. It would be worth considering developing one of the lots at dadeland mall to another garage. Also trolleys from AD Barnes park could add more parking and tailgating area. PRO: costs might reasonably be publically financed, many schools use the football stadium as home field.

Coop… there could be shuttles leaving from the U with players and fans, U flags on light poles on the stadium route, and a possible transit spur to the stadium. I’ve been advocating for a retractable dome stadium, but I’m an Engineering and Architectural designer so I know it’s possible but many of our cynical fans can be impossible! 🎉😂😊😂🎉

That might add additional unnecessary cost. We need teams to cone down and feel the weather
