i like Bacardi idea the most

We know...

well bacardi is not the best rum out there, but it works for me.

burger king is based out of miami too.

The Whopperdome. :thumbup rofl

Yup, all of these would be great sponsors and every ballpark that is new has lots of sponsors and some of the features I stated.

 

I see... Hey, anything creative that would sell and make money, I'll go for.

dude im so confused

 

okay the lease is up in 2004, if we continue to play at the pro wayne will still make $$$ off the parking. What i am tryin to ask is there anywhere else we could possibly play and get the $$$ of the parking?????

 

or is this contract we are in forcing us to give money to wayne?

It's not the the lease is up, its that after 2004, the lease is year-to-year renewable each year. If the Downtown Ballpark goes forward for 2006, then the Marlins would be renewing the PPS lease for 2004 and for 2005, the good thing is that there is no lease to "break" in order to move.

"Have it YOUR way!"

"On New Year's Eve every year, the Marlins make the choice to return to PPS for the year following the next.

 

i.e. New Year's Eve 2002 take option for 2004"

 

 

 

 

Better hope Anthonty Carter's agent isn'r responsible for the phone call.

We will have a food court, like other new parks, so expect Burger King, Subway, [Pizza Hut, Taco Bell, and KFC (all owned by same company)] as sponsors and in the food court

Better hope Anthonty Carter's agent isn'r responsible for the phone call.

:lol :lol :lol

name it la carreta and have full service cuban food in the infield box lol.

A dome? Kinda like the trop?

call it the ....TrojanDome. :thumbup

A dome? Kinda like the trop?

No, retractable roof. No disgusting white "things" in our city.

The Whopperdome. :thumbup rofl

That would be the best park name ever. Why has this not happened yet?

We could have like free chicken tenders night or something, and the race could be like onion rings vs fries or something creative like that. Hey, at least it would be entertaining :shifty

domes were the thing of hte 70s and 80s primarily after the development of the Astrodome nad extending pretty much until Camden.

 

 

 

retractable roofs are the way to go now.

When you read the article, the Herald says dome, but they compare costs to a retractable roof. No dome will probably ever be built in baseball again.

 

It would be like Minute Maid Park, Bank One Ballpark, Miller Park, Safeco Field, etc.

Ours would resemble Minute Maid, because they are both in similar climates (hurricanes, rain, etc.) and would both be created by HOK.

 

Miami Ballpark Plans, but these costs were for Bicentennial Park/Miami River Sites. The Miami Arena site would be $325 million.

Minute Maid Park Facts are that it was designed by HOK, built with public and private funds at the cost of $250 million and was part of a Downtown Convention area with the ballpark, new basketball arena, and a park. (Sounds Familiar doesn't it! )

I wasn't aware that HOK was still the chosen developer...

Check the stats sheet. Marlins, Dade County like HOK. HOK built JRS/PPS for football.

12/15/99 -- Bicentennial Park - Next Home of the Florida Marlins

The Marlins have selected the Bicentennial Park in downtown Miami as their site for a new ballpark. The team wil dedicate the next 45-60 days to discuss the ballpark with the city. If it appears after that period that Miami is not a viable option, then Fort Lauderdale will be reconsidered. In addition, the Marlins named HOK as design architect and architect of record. The announcements were made by Marlins Chairman John W. Henry.

I know that they were the chosen developer earlier, but I didn't know that they were still involved.

HOK is the leader in the new ballparks, they are the advisors/designers on the ballpark since the start.

Marlins unveil their vision of "the Park within the Park"

 

 

 

On Saturday, February 10, the Florida Marlins unveiled their visions of a new ballpark to the public, sharing with the community their vision for creating an attractive and accessible "park within the park."

 

The Marlins envision a revitalized Bicentennial Park that becomes a truly family-friendly attraction to downtown Miami. In their plan, the Marlins have proposed that the approximately 15 acre ballpark would be surrounded by nearly 15 acres of revitalized greenspace, play areas, a baywalk and other family activities along Biscayne Bay.

 

Drawing between 2.5 and 3 million fans annually to the ballpark and a whole new generation of residents and visitors to the rejeuvenated park will ensure that Bicentennial Park is transformed into the living centerpiece and symbol of a dynamic downtown Miami.

 

The revitalized park and the new ballpark will be a major yet complementary piece of the emergent entertainment cluster along Biscayne Bay, complementing the new Performing Arts Center, the American Airlines Arena and the existing operations at Bayside. With the addition of the proposed new ballpark, this cluster will be a powerful economic engine to invigorate downtown and the communiy-wide economy.
