There are alot of contributing factors as to why Miami can't draw good crowds. They never have had sustained attendance, and they surely won't in their current arrangement. Their fans are by FAR the most fairweather you'll find, and right now tickets to Miami games are literally worthless. As in, you can find them discarded on the sidewalk worthless. I have a friend who goes to all their games and NEVER pays more than 10 bucks for a ticket.
I've always been of the opinion since the demo of the Orange Bowl Stadium, that the U should partner with FIU for a home stadium agreement. FIU currently has a 25,000 seat stadium, recently renovated, just 8 miles from Miami's campus. It sounds shocking to imagine them playing in such a small venue on someone else's campus, but it's not far from reality of demand there. They could play a few lowly opponents there over the years, and feel out the situation. With the right vision, Miami could partner in the next expansion to a capacity suitable for the majority of their home games. It would probably be a cheaper arrangement, would create more demand for season tickets, and they could continue to play FSU and a few other head liners at Sun Life Stadium.
