Like just about every other place, you need to win here for people to show up. And not just one good season from time to time, I mean win every year consistently as used to be the case down here. The Dolphins sold out forever, the Hurricanes have no problem getting 60 k to show up when they are winning. Ten years of blah football have beaten everyone into the ground down here and people just aren't going to part with any money until they start seeing something tangible on the field.
As for the Orange Bowl game, there just isn't any sizzle anymore. It used to be a game that helped decide the championship, now it usually gets stuck with boring, uninteresting teams and that is an impossible sell down here.
