About efin time...geez.

Finally!

nolesfish, I had the same feeling you did. If only this game were rained out, we would not be witnessing this garbage.

Ok, just signed in under my normal username. Anyway, I fear the Marlins offense is so bad, it will be an opposing team that will celebrate the first no-hitter at our park.

I actually really like this blue color for the seats. Orange? Absolutely not, at least for me. I really do like this blue color for the seats.

I hope someone brings back pictures of the new renderings.

why the retrack roof, why not just a dome, why the hell would they ever want to open the roof in south florida?? Permanent domes are ugly as f**k. Baseball is an out door sport. At least on a nice and cool day the option is there to open the roof. But I am very happy the Marlins went with the retractable roof option and not some ugly as sh*t dome stadium.

Did it look anything like this? If so, then this is actually from the 2005 renderings when the plan was to have the Orange Bowl and the new Marlins stadium share a wall/superstructure. Wrong. The above rendering was from the proposal to have the ballpark on Bicentennial Park. It had nothing to do with the Orange Bowl as you mentioned above.

THis morning's Herald article counts Martinez as a NO and Heyman and Souto as undecided. Souto, who most have thought to be a NO is quoted as saying he's "really on the fence". Everyone, please contact him if you have not done so. http://www.miamiherald.com/591/story/901847.html Souto is a surprise, considering how he ripped up the the plan on the dais last time. Of course, last time the plan also included the tunnel and street car. We should then all call Souto at 305-375-4835. On Sally Heyman, wasn't she just quoted in an article a couple of days ago that she was voting NO. Now she is undecided? I don't get it. But her number is 305-375-5128.

Not sure if this has been posted. I just voted ... we are ahead 60/40. http://www.miamidade.gov/district11/home.asp The No votes have caught up, dead even 49 to 49. I heard that Martinez will vote with whatever his poll finishes at by 9:00am tomorrow. Vote and delete your cookies and vote again. We have to win this one! Where did you hear this from?

7UNDECIDED are barbara jordan,dorrin rolle,audrey edmonson,rebeca sosa, dennis moss,javier souto, carlos i donot know or SEIJAS Javier Souto will be a NO. He voted NO last time in a tirade. Don't you remember? He ripped up the agreement into pieces on the dais.

Sorenson is no vote that what i was told today So then your undecideds are down to 6? Again, we need Martinez. I think he is the only shot we have.

i spoke his office their told me no today I hope his NO today is a weak NO and can still be changed tomorrow. Also, I noticed that you included Sorenson in the undecideds when she is in fact a very strong NO.

Could someone post a list of the YES, NO and UNDECIDED commissioners please? 7UNDECIDED 2 YES 2 NO VOTING ARE JOE MARTINEZ AND SALLY HEYMAN I LEFT MESSAGE FOR CALL BACK FROM CARLOS GIMENEZ AND SEIJAS Who are your 2 yes votes?

Looks like this is going down in flames. :-(

i hearing on blog on miami hearld their other delayhave any of you hearld that???? Give us the url to that blog.

While we are at it, call Commissioner Sally Heyman too. http://www.miamidade.gov/district04/home.asp Her number is 305-375-5128.

This guy may be the swing vote and key to the Marlins getting their own ballpark. He had some negative comments on the ballpark here: http://www.miamitodaynews.com/news/090205/story4.shtml I think he is on the fence and persuadable. So we have to call him and persuade him to vote for the ballpark. He even has an online poll on the stadium on his page: http://www.miamidade.gov/district11/home.asp So I ask folks here to call him to voice your support for the Marlins ballpark.

The renderings look very nice. I also just found out by looking at Obama's stimulus that there is a metromover extension from downtown to the ballpark that should be built. So no shuttles to civic center station. Where in the stimulus did you read this? http://readthestimulus.org/hr1_text.pdf

As far as the tank itself, I'm pretty positive they said they had looked into adding a Marlin tank in CF, but that the size required to adequately (and safely) accomodate a Marlin was unfeasible. Perhaps a robotic one? Yes, it will be an animatronic Marlin. It's in the agreement.

excited for the renderings but not my favorite design they have released As far as I can tell, it is basically the same design from 2005. http://capefish.blogspot.com/2006/02/ballp...ign-review.html What other design they have released that you liked better?

http://www.jacksonville.com/apnews/stories...D94I9MH00.shtml This clears the path for Judge Cohen to finally rule on the Marlins ballpark case.

if you guys check out the site now....it has MLB.com and MLB copyright info on it as well....... progress. Check my post from September 24th on this thread. The MLB stuff has been on that site at least since then.

not marlins owned... Like someone else already mentioned, maybe the Marlins paid some company to set this site up. But as you can see on the site itself, it is definitely authentic. If this were a fake site, someone would be getting their ass sued very soon. So I say it is legit.

Looks like it is the official site. It has the MLB logo and the all rights reserved legal stuff. So it looks legit to me.
