Optimism "is high" around the Univ. of Miami's football program heading into the '18 season after the team "had an average announced attendance of 57,774 for its seven regular-season home games, its highest season average since moving to Hard Rock Stadium" in '08, according to McPherson & Degnan of the MIAMI HERALD. Miami played in the Capital One Orange Bowl this past season, and AD Blake James said, "I'm going to go out on a limb and say we're going to sell out Hard Rock Stadium for I think it'll be the first time in the history of Miami Hurricanes football." UM sold a "program-record 42,000 season tickets" heading into the '17 season. Miami Senior Associate AD/Development Jesse Marks said that "fewer than 5,000 season tickets remain and reiterated that 'UM is expected to sell out'" ( MIAMI HERALD, 5/5 ).
