I would totally support a move

If you can watch the game today, consider the economy and demographics or Florida, and still be stunned people arent showing up in droves, then nobody here can help you see it. Just sit back in your chair in Virginia, watch the games (or not for all I care) and stop whining like a ***** about the locals.

You don't seem to understand. You attack me when I am actually attacking no one. You can say what you want, but I've been watching the Miami Dolphins for a long time. Win or lose, they haven't been consistently filling the stadium for quite some time. You blame the economy and demographics? Okay, so (from a business perspective) you would be supporting my idea. People can't afford football there? Why would you try to sell a product in an area that (according to you) cannot afford it? I have no problem with the fans. People who can afford it and wish to go will go. It is their right one way or the other. But if people do not go, perhaps a change of venue would be better for the business known as the Dolphins. I watch my Dolphins win or lose. I would love them no matter what city they represented. Can you say the same? There have been worse teams that have consistently filled their stadiums. Perhaps Miami is not the place. Heck, move 100 miles away and continue to call them the Miami Dolphins for all I care. Just be somewhere that more people will attend. I am not attacking people for their choice. I am simply pointing out that maybe Miami isn't the best town to fill a stadium.
 
Im just tired of watching the same garbage every week and then seeing 14 threads pop up from out of town fans whining about attendance. We arent the only team that doesnt fill the stadium. I number of teams are experiencing blackouts. Such is life when you are 1-11 at home in your last 12, plus other factors.
 
I'm talking about filling seats with home team fans. Can Miami do it? If they are winning, it still may be too hot for most fans to show up. Winning won't change the temperature. Or maybe the tickets will still cost too much. Winning won't fix bank accounts or give locals raises. Maybe a move would provide opportunity for others to show up. If they moved 100 miles north, would die hard faithful Miami Dolphins game attendees continue to show up? I'd bet most of them would. The move would allow others to be closer as well. Heck, maybe less Jets fans would show up to the Jets games. That would be an improvement in itself.

Within Florida, yea, a move would be great. If they could get a stadium near Palm Beach County, attendance would be better.

I want to but won't attack you, but I'll respond to your post. The Dolphins deserve having empty stands, they suck at home. Why pay $70- $100 to watch someone lose while you sweat your butt off? I can tell you're not from Miami. It's hot and humid here and there is no reason to dump money into a losing project. This team is pitiful, simple and plain and doesn't deserve to be supported. This isn't the same team I fell in love with as a kid, but a shell of it's former greatness.

Yeah but Sparano's fistpump has to be worth at least 20 bucks
 
There would be empty seats at any stadium for a team that hasn't won a playoff game in a decade. Blaming the city is so short-sighted.

A city is where it is. I'm not blaming the people. I'm saying that a move may be the better business decision based on the factors presented.
 
Why the hell would you put the Miami Dolphins in West Palm Beach?

Suggesting to move the stadium north is a STUPID suggestion. Dolphins never had problems filling up the Orange Bowl which was smack dab in the middle of Little Havana, which to the geographically challenged, its even farther SOUTH than Sun Life.

Blaming location of a stadium on poor attendance is a weak excuse. The Patriots stadium is built way out in the sticks and people fill that sucker up every game.

It would be a horrible business decision. Save your alligator tears for Ross and realize that he makes money no matter which fanbase is buying the tickets. Ross makes the same 50 bucks whether a Pats, Jets, Bills, Dolphins, or a Texans fans buy a ticket. Hell, Ross SELLS tickets to opposing fans--it's all green. Giving up this transplant money not to mention a Super Bowl every 4 years or so is the definition of a bad business decision. But go ahead, move these losers out of here, see how many "real fans" show up to watch these losers in LA, lol
 
I wish like hell that we would've never built Sun Life Stadium. I wished that we would've completely refurbished the Orange Bowl and kept our tradition there intact instead of tearing the stadium down. Crowd noise at the OB was a hell of a lot more of a factor then Sun Life which has a stupid design.
 
I love when people who DO NOT LIVE in Miami talk like if they know anything about the city. I will explain it to you all barney style.

1) Miami Dolphins are oldest pro sports team in Miami (biggest Following)
2) Miami Filled with people from Cuba, Islands, Central America, South America
3) People from #2 did not grow up watching football or american sports
4) Miami Filled with people who hate thier original cities because of cold or high costs (IE: Chcago, New York)
5) People from #4 grew up watching other teams like Bills, Jets, Patriots Ect...Thus rooting for other teams
6) Who is left??? Those who were born in Miami who's parents are NOT #4
7) Sure some of the kids of #2 will be fans but they will most likely never have gone to the game with father as a kid (few exeptions)

Do you somewhat understand now???? Do you see why MIAMI is one of the wierdest cities and has some of the worst fans ever? The teams are sort of new and most fans did not grow up watching the teams from an early age. Other cities have a few generations of head start and when they come to a city like miami the kids grow up watching and liking the team that daddy/mommy likes.
