Fandom’s 250 Underrates the Miami Hurricanes fanbase
"“This is, to me, natural order restored…This is, to me, what a Saturday night in Miami should be.”"
When the Hurricanes are rolling there is no place like playing in Miami at night.
The Fansided editors considered a variety of factors when ranking the list of fanbases in their Fandom 250.
- FanSided Editors discuss, study and rank fandoms in several meetings.
- The Editors give weight to what is “hot” or buzzworthy during the previous calendar year, or they look at what happened in a calendar year, and this is a big part of the calculation.
- Fandoms get points for size, longevity, and worth.
- The intangible part of the equation is the gauging of the fandom’s passion as well as the quality of a fandom. This “subjective” piece is equally important to FanSided as size and longevity.
Examining each point one-by-one the Miami Hurricanes belong on the list. If you study, discuss and rank college sports fan bases, the Miami Hurricanes have been a part of the college sports scene since the 1970’s if we were to include baseball. If we want to point to just football, then it goes back to at least the 1983 Orange Bowl game if not a few years sooner.
