...Except that the Marlins' architects aren't HKS, it's HOK. And I wouldn't "pay attention" to anyone who says otherwise. John's was.....

Thank you for that information, it sounds pretty interesting the old idea for the stadium design. I do hope this can get resolved for the future and loria is gone from the ownership. Well I’m not exactly familiar with Loria's financial status, but from looking at it from afar, I would probably do the same as John and Jeff. Sooner or later the gov. will budge more money and so will the MLB, especially if you have connections (not what you know, but who you know). My point being, that it has nothing to do with neither land nor construction costs. Also, take into account Jeff like John has a team of lawyers so does HKS Arch............ I wouldn’t even pay attention to anything you read because unless you have an original bid which is classified.

When John Henry was the owner of the Marlins, I worked for the company responsible for design and development of the stadium. We were actually 6 million under budget and the stadium was to have a retractable roof that opens like a Chinese hand fan. There is way more to the story, but I'm not going to sit here all day and make a book. Long story short, land and construction costs weren't an issue. He was simply playing games so the gov. can pay more, same with Loria.
