SOFT BIGOTRY OF LOW EXPECTATIONS

That's way too big for Miami. It would be lucky to be half filled for most of the ACC games even during above-average seasons.

That's a lot of investment and ongoing operational costs for a relatively small off-campus venue. If that's what really what Miami wants to tie its resources into...that's its bet. But just understand that the end result will not stack up with the stadiums/facilities at the big boy programs. The renderings may sell a recruit or two and provide an initial bump...but long term it doesnt resolve the issues of poor UM attendance and not having an on-campus facility.

Oh now I see. Miami didn't make the cut. Perhaps that was his point? I wouldn't expect that to surprise anyone given Miami's small size and they don't have a stadium to operate and maintain, etc.

DON’T CRY FOR ME ARGENTINA

Yeah I've heard about it. Sounded like a challenge with space being so limited in CG. $800M isn't much in 2022 dollars for a stadium. I hope they already have the real estate. I'm sure it would be small but pretty nice. Keep in mind that elite stadiums going up lately are a few billion $.

Courtesy of inflation $1b for a major new stadium is quite reasonable. You can pay for that in full in just 20 years worth of the pay differential between the SEC and ACC from ESPN.

You sure about that?

So is Georgia Tech going to stay in the ACC or join the B1G?
