The Gators stadium does have an awesome party environment, my father went to UF and I went to some games there as a kid, and then later as a teenager went to a Gator Growl. I wish the Canes had that kind of fan base, but it is nice to see some fellow Canes on here...
bicentennial is gone now, there is a huge museum being built.

the fan base here is hard, because not a lot of people know this but you can back me up. miami undergrad hovers around 10k. +/- 800 people. UF is approx 30k. most fans in miami never went to the school. and its a lot of out of state people, that leave after college. so building up a huge fan base is actually a pretty big challenge. i admit it, our fan base sucks. i have season tickets but the stadium is always empty unless we play fsu or UF. especially if we aren't winning like in the 80s

whats cool is no matter where you go, there's always some canes somewhere. its cool, i wear UM gear random places and always find a fellow alumni
