CyggyMarlin Posted April 23, 2004 Share Posted April 23, 2004 Just read that the Marlins are not gonna get the $60M from the state. Out of curiosity, doesn't the city realize that if they gave the Marlins that money, the team could try to get the '07 or '08 All-Star game (Houston is bidding for '06 now)? Wouldn't having a huge event like that draw a lot of people and raise a lot of money for the city? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FishFan24 Posted April 23, 2004 Share Posted April 23, 2004 Houston is bidding for '06 now) They can't get it on '06 because they are getting it this year, however the Pirates are bidding for it in '06. And all of that really doesn't matter much to them. :thumbdown Plus the All Star Game is only in a city for two or three days a year. Not alot of time to attract tourist.

Shaq-Man Posted April 23, 2004 Share Posted April 23, 2004 its a good point... the marlins could ask selig to give us the all-star game in 2007 if a stadium is built by such and such date. i'm sure MLB would be willing to give such an assurance, and it could help us bring more to the table.

FishFan24 Posted April 23, 2004 Share Posted April 23, 2004 It won't be in '07 because it'll be in an AL city. 2008 is the next best time.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Juanky Posted April 23, 2004 Share Posted April 23, 2004 If we get the new stadium done, we most likely will get the All Star Game in that building. We just need to petition it. We'll most likely be the newest stadium at that point, we'll likely still be a successful club, and of course we have the pocket ace to play: We had our All Star Game taken from us and we want to have it now.

gobucks Posted April 23, 2004 Share Posted April 23, 2004 I have said for a while that I thought that Miami-Dade County should ask for a guarantee that MLB will Award an All-Star game and a GM or Owners meeting to Miami Beach. If the NFL helps with financing, i think it is the least baseball could do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CyggyMarlin Posted April 23, 2004 Author Share Posted April 23, 2004 Yeah, sorry, I meant Pittsburgh...But I though it would be nice to get the All-Star game whne the new stadium opens...You'd think the hotels and restaurants would benefit from the extra crowds Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
