Perhaps the cat was out of the bag too soon, but news that a wealthy booster wants to build a football stadium for the University of Miami in Coral Gables was met with a resounding “Hell no!” from local officials caught off guard.
Proponents are now trying to clear the record after the Herald reported that Coral Gables High School, which has just undergone a $47 million renovation, is a potential site. Panicking parents contacted the school district, prompting Superintendent Alberto Carvalho to draw a strong rebuke and clarify he had not been approached about it. The city of Coral Gables said it is “NOT in favor of a stadium project” and that the “speculative” proposal would not be compatible with surrounding neighborhoods, a spokesman told the Herald.
It’s not shocking that a community in a county burned by empty promises and the Marlins ballpark taxpayer-funded boondoggle would not not jump on the bandwagon immediately after the proposal’s haphazard announcement Sunday night. A tweet by John H. Ruiz, founder of Medicare litigation firm MSP Recovery, officially broke the news after rumors started swirling on college sport blogs.
CBS Miami: Strong Opposition For Proposal To Build UM New Stadium On Site Of Gables High
I liked the Orange Bowl and so did everyone else who wasn't a dipshit. It was old, historic, rusty, not nice and in a gamey neighborhood. It scared people like Babs. I liked that shit. It wasn't a fucking country club. When I want that, I go to SGC, not a football game. I liked that they had no indoor facility and the weight room had no AC and that Texas' old JV women's softball facilities were nicer than Miami's and it didn't fucking matter. I liked that especially large state schools had way more shit and Miami bent them over anyway.
I wouldn't mind a stadium near campus. If they were smart, they would not try and make it a huge place because Gables will never support that. Make it a small footprint like Stanford's 50,000 capacity, which is just basically right there tucked on campus. It's plenty big enough but is otherwise inconspicuous. If you're kicking ass who fucking cares?
They're never letting them tear down Gables High School. They're right. A lot of Miami's old high schools represent historic architecture (see Miami High School, where Porky's was filmed). Gables High is, as I recall, a good example of Art Deco. They're not tearing it down so they need to move on from that. Pick another fucking spot.
