...actually as I remember they said they "weren't interested" after they found out he wasn't interested.

Could that be the worst attendance percentage ever? Stadium can't be much more than 2 or 3% full.

Ga Tech stadium was only about half full when their game began, and now it's a lot less than that. Seems like about the only ACC teams that get a full house are FSU and Va Tech.

Clemson is usually full, and NC State isn't horrible, and UNC is usually pretty full. Duke sucks.

Thought it was a joke.. 2 Minutes before kickoff here:

In fairness.. If I lived in the Miami area, going to see a really crappy football game might not rate very high on my Fun Stuff To Do list on a Saturday afternoon.

That's just sad. They should just fold up......

they won't succeed long term with that type of support. Unless the talent just falls in their lap like it used to years ago, which I don't think will happen. Too many teams recruit Florida now for Miami just to cakewalk into an NFL roster. Add NCAA sanctions on top of that, and it's a bad situation.

Plus, playing at huge NFL stadiums is never good for teams who struggle with attendance.

Not as many people to see them pile up in the smoke. #glasshalffull

if that's what you wanna call it. Do I smell Bryan hot dogs?

Makes you wonder how they finance their FB program. And it's not just now ... they never have had good attendance, even when they were ranked #1. Do they even sell season tickets? The other ACC schools must tire of sharing bowl money with them.

Miami doesn't have to drive more than 90 minutes for players. That part of the country is a gold mine. No excuse for that attendance though. That's embarrassing for that city if they only gave a ****. Miami is an awesome city with a billion things to do and a majority of the people are not natural born citizens so they aren't huge college football fans. Wanna pack the stadium? Play a Spain vs Italy soccer match after the game and offer free tickets.

NC State normally fills Carter-Finley.
