Here is what he said

Repeatedly Touched Touchdown Run of the Week: Human bowling ball Maurice Jones-Drew of Jax bounced off half a dozen Dolphin defenders on his way to a game-icing, 32-yard touchdown. Hey NFL defenders, this guy is hard to tackle  quit hitting him high and bouncing off, go for his ankles. Miami announced the crowd as a sellout at 73,160, slightly below capacity, but thousands of spectators changed into orange or teal seat costumes around halftime. End zone sections were practically empty by the middle of the third quarter. Miami fans  how about being true to your school! Just like you would to your girl, guys! Hmm, maybe Miami fans were being about as true to their team as they would to their girl. (Note: Allusion to the Beach Boys' song, whose original lyric was "just like you would to your girl, guys" and whose PC version is now "just like you would to your girl or guy.")
 
**** that guy i stayed til the end in the endzone
 
Look, he's right, and before you attack me I go to a lot of games. It gets old looking at our stadium and it looking half empty. That being said, I kind of understand it. Phin fans have gone through a singular odyssey with the franchise. Constantly teased only to be let down.

When the phins PROVE they are for real, the stadium will be packed.

Well, its true. If it were me I would be there until the clock hit 0.00
 
I stay the entire game.

Anyways we have crappy fans what else is new?
 
He's right. I don't like that he's right but it's still indisputable. We have crappy fans that have superbowl expectations every year.
 
I get the same impression with regards to the fans at the stadium, but unfortunately all I have to go by is what I see on TV. I've made the comment many times before that it seems like our stadium is no where near capacity, even when things are going well. There have been some people who have stated in defense of the fans that many of the people who are at the stadium are watching the game on TV in the stadium bars versus sitting in their seat. I have no way of disputing this fact, nor do I have any reason to believe that it isn't true. But if I was there, I sure wouldn't be watching it on TV. I can do that all the way up here in VA for free (or for the cost of NFL Sunday Ticket :wink:).

Playoff expectations, and we can't even get that.

How terrible for fans to pack the lines for food and beer and take awhile to get back to their seats.

This guy makes it as if all these people had left the game. The seats filled back up before the 4th quarter started, and than promptly emptied after the Jones-Drew TD.(not surprisingly, cause that's when i stopped watching out of disgust)

I remember watching a Jacksonville home game like two weeks ago and a whole section of seats was covered by a big teal canvas. The Jets game last week had a bunch of empty seats.

We're not the only team with fans that don't fill the stadium to capacity when we're mediocre to suck.

People make a big deal out of it cause our bright orange seats are an eyesore. especially when the sun hits them. I wish they'd paint our seats aqua or navy so it doesn't look as bad and people can stop making it into such a big thing.
 
It is true we have crappy fans and they suck at showing support for their team even during a 4 game win streak what better things do they do instead of supporting their team.
 
Again, if I lived in Miami, I'd be at everygame and stay the whole time.

So people leave early, thats their business.

We are the real Dolfans
