Untouchable

Ok so many of you have heard about the little rally that Norman Braman and Tomas Regalado setup on Saturday at Versailles to protest the Marlins stadium. So in response to their rally, there's a few of us "viejos" who are setting up a Pro-Marlins Rally. We are hoping to get better media coverage than Braman. The trial begins tomorrow and we need to show our support for our team. Please feel free to join us. Here's the basics: What: Pro-Marlins Stadium Rally Where: Versailles Restaurant Who: ALL MARLINS FANS!!! Time: 1pm See you there! :thumbup Is this really going to happen? I'm actually thinking about going, considering it is in the Mecca of Cuban food.

Bacardi Park or Parque Bacardi It's a classy name and celebrates Miami's Latino heritage.

With the offseason approaching I'd thought I'd ask a few questions. Just to know where everyone stands. I'd like you to choose between one, not the usual "just build it" statement. Opinions people! I'm not expecting essays but I'd like one or two sentences. In your opinion, will we have a Memorandum of Understanding for a new stadium in South Fla by Opening Day 2007? Which city will end up on top; Miami or Hialeah? Which site do you believe will benefit the Marlins greatest in the long run? Why? Which site do you prefer? Why? On a scale of 1-10, how important is a retractable roof on a new stadium to you? Where do you live? City/County How old are you? Are you a season ticket holder? How many games do you attend a year? How long does it take you to get from your home to Dolphin Stadium? If a stadium is built in Downtown Miami, will you go to more or less games than you currently do? (With and without retractable roof) If a stadium is built in Hialeah, will you go to more or less games than you currently do? Thanks you all for your responses. 1. Yes 2. Miami 3. Downtown Miami. Having a stadium in the downtown area will have more economic benefits 4. 10 5. Miami/Dade County 6. 16 7. No 8. 5-8 9. 45 minutes 10. More 11. More

does anybody know if the marlins would be renamed the miami marlins if the hialeah stadium gets built? i think that would be a great touch.
