Tyler Van Dyke critical of Miami’s ‘atmosphere’, says he prefers away games
Published:
Away games are always a crap shoot, and most players prefer the home-field advantage.
That’s not the case for Miami Hurricanes QB Tyler Van Dyke, who said in a recent interview that he prefers away games, because the atmosphere for the Hurricanes home games isn’t so great:

The Hurricanes QB explained that part of the problem was the stadium.
“We don’t really have that much of a college atmosphere because we play at Hard Rock. We’re about 25 minutes away from campus so a lot of students don’t go up and watch the game, unless it’s a big game. But that’s why I like going into away stadiums and seeing that college atmosphere and playing there and making the crowd quiet.”
Miami power brokers have been working to get a new stadium approved that would be much closer to the Canes’ campus in Coral Gables. However, no official plans have been released as of yet.
Van Dyke failed to make crowds quiet on Saturday when the Canes took on Texas A&M at Kyle Field. The Aggies defeated the Canes 17-9.
Van Dyke will get to play against an away crowd again on Oct. 15 as the Canes head to Virginia Tech.
