At first it seemed it would be half full at best but it filled up to at

least 70-80%. People were spread out enough to make it seem full. I think I heard about 71K attendance. It was enough to make a good atmosphere. There was a lower middle section that was probably high $$ seats that were pretty empty.

Went to UM-OSU last night. OSU fans were louder, UM fans are obnoxious

University of Miami football fans are like front running cockroaches
jdkhokie • 01/01/26 10:12 AM ET

I say let them have their fun. It’s been a long drought for UM. I’m glad
Hoakie82 • 01/01/26 01:52 PM ET
Their actual fan base is small, and frankly I liked the UM grads I met.
EDGEMAN • 01/01/26 10:32 AM ET
I think the UM fan base that travels is very different from the majority
Hoakie82 • 01/01/26 01:54 PM ET
No doubt!**
EDGEMAN • 01/01/26 02:14 PM ET
It is.
RJHokie • 01/01/26 02:08 PM ET
Well, I imagine if you pay $65,000 tuition plus room/board/books, etc,
likehokies • 01/01/26 11:14 AM ET
Yep. Those are Street thugs who happened to own UM clothing/hats.

i worked at one of the entrance gates at lane this season. for the miami
squarerootofone • 01/01/26 11:06 AM ET
The traveling UM fans are mostly alumni and families.**
NoHuddle • 01/01/26 05:02 PM ET
The thug part of their fan base would probably never come to Blacksburg **
OrlandoHokie • 01/01/26 11:33 AM ET
They have alum that are normal but could not fill a 40K stadium but then

I lived in Miami (Doral) for three years, and I got to see it first hand
EDGEMAN • 01/01/26 10:40 AM ET
Im embracing "old Big East culture" taking over the ACC
1947Sunbowl • 01/01/26 10:29 AM ET
Pitt still plays that way**
Techsupport • 01/01/26 12:04 PM ET
I say all the time the old big east was the toughest football conference…
lubru1 • 01/01/26 11:10 AM ET
This is common knowledge. Acc made everyone soft **
kinghokie • 01/01/26 12:37 PM ET
I agree
RRHOKIE • 01/01/26 12:13 PM ET
Only Miami has stepped it up.
EDGEMAN • 01/01/26 10:34 AM ET
I live in the Tampa Bay area and honestly even that far south in the state
VPI_1998 • 01/01/26 10:18 AM ET
Accurate.**
Maroon Baboon • 01/01/26 10:16 AM ET
Curious - how full was the stadium? I am just interested to see how well
VPI_1998 • 01/01/26 09:42 AM ET
At first it seemed it would be half full at best but it filled up to at ◄
JACHokies • 01/01/26 09:54 AM ET

VPI_1998 • 01/01/26 10:16 AM ET
You were not rooting for Miami, you were rooting against OSU
