Miami Finds The Perfect Way To Attract Fans and Distract Opponents


Since I'm usually visiting family in the Miami area around the holidays, I've been to a fair share of Miami Hurricanes basketball games. And let me tell you, the student section is like a morgue. Like the rest of the Bank United Center is rocking either, but you expect more from the students section for ACC play.

I know, I've heard the excuses: Who is going to see the 9th best team in the ACC play when there 12,000 other things to do in Miami? And it's not like Miami is home to 30,000 undergrads either.

But according to the Miami Sports Blog, the athletic department has a nifty idea to fill the student section for ACC play.


"UM will add a hot tub, a sandbox and lifeguard tower in the student seating section. Students will be asked to wear beach attire.”

Well now, that's a fantastic idea. Bringing South Beach to court. I can't wait to see the first Duke or UNC player to miss a pass while trying to check out some girls. Hell, I might buy season tickets from Philly
