Discounting South Florida and the fanbase of the Miami teams is an easy target. When coming up with the best fanbases in the country Miami-Dade and more specifically the Miami Hurricanes fanbase is often overlooked and left out.

Five ACC fanbases were in the top 25 of the best college fan bases in the country. Also included was FCS North Dakota and the school featured in Last chance U, East Mississippi Community College.

Miami fans have shown strong throughout the last few seasons. Mark Richt has led a renaissance of the Miami Hurricanes fanbase in football. The basketball team is on the verge of selling out the Watsco Center for the third consecutive season. The baseball program has had one of the most fervent fanbases in college baseball since the 1970s.

Richt has praised the difference the fanbase has made in making Hard Rock Stadium a tough place for opponents to play this season. Miami finished 7-0 at home this season after going 4-2 at the Rock last season.

The Miami Hurricanes have gotten a lot of criticism since leaving the Orange Bowl for Hard Rock Stadium. Miami Defensive Coordinator Manny Diaz said after the Hurricanes victory over Notre Dame that the Rock was as loud as the Orange Bowl ever was.
