[gatortalk] scUM Wants to Play in Yankee Stadium
From the AP article: --- Miami has entered talks about playing a football game at Yankee Stadium in 2013. [A little edited out.] I think it's great for college football and the University of Miami, Miami coach Randy Shannon said Wednesday. You play teams outside of the conference a lot ... and it's an opportunity for us to be in the Northeast, which is a big University of Miami alumni base area. [A little edited out.] --- Wow, so Miami can fail to sellout yet another venue. The only way a decent number of tickets get sold is if the opposing team brings a huge contingent of fans.

H! They can't sell out the home field. Maybe NYC has enough folks to come out and see them? A. Leon Polhill, Gator I was gratified to be able to answer promptly, and I did.

As I wrote, only if the opposing team brings a lot of fans. Notre Dame could do it, with all their subway alumni, but whatever team scUM plays, if the stadium is full, the Miami fans will be outnumbered . . . by a lot. Go Gators Ken B.
