April 20, 200521 yr Isn't the new ball park priced extremely high compared to other parks "420 million" some of the other ball parks are as low as 110 million... http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/teams/stadium?team=bal Dolphins Stadium $115 million Camden Yards $110 million Mile High Stadium $215 I couldn't find one more expensive, I didn't look at all of them though..
April 20, 200521 yr Inflation for one. Dolphins Stadium $115 million-Finished in 1987 Camden Yards $110 million-Finished in 1992/93? Mile High Stadium $215 Finished in 1995 Look up some of the newer stadiums like Minute Maid Park and Petco Park and you'll see numbers closer to that of the Marlins stadium.

They are building shops, resturants and stuff like they. BTW, who is not paying a penny for that Yankee stadium? The Public.

April 20, 200521 yr Thats fine, just point it out. The Marlins are spending $420 for a stadium and parking garage. I think you can look at the west coast stadiums for the best cost estimates, to compare and contrast.

It will also include an aquarium, a community center, and other ballpark attractions."- City/County Manager Memo Link
April 20, 200521 yr That memo also says the ballpark will cost $367 million. Not to say it might be outdated, or been changed or anything. All I was saying is, the Marlins are building something on a single block of land, the Yankees want to do something that kinda resembles what Wayne wants at the Fin and the Lions did in D town.
April 20, 200521 yr A little info from ESPN.com: Bank One Ballpark-$354 million SBC Park-$319 million Petco Park-$458-million Citizens Bank park-$336-million PNC Park-$216 million Comerica Park-$300 million Great American Ballpark-$290 million New Busch Stadium-$400 million (Estimated) Minute Maid Park-$248 million So the lowest of the bunch is PNC Park at $216, but the stadium does not include a retractable roof or anything. Still, $216 is quite alot by today's standards.

April 20, 200521 yr Retractable Roof Parks Miller Park: $400,000,000 Safeco Field: $517,000,000 Rogers Centre: $500,000,000 (Wow and that's in 1980's dollars) Bank One Ballpark: $354,000,000 Future Ballparks with roofs: Twins Ballpark: $430-$450,000,000 Marlins Ballpark: $420,000,000 Mets Ballpark: $800,000,000

Great.
April 21, 200521 yr New Busch stadiium is the newest addition and that's around $400 million as well.

April 21, 200521 yr I didn't realize that Safeco cost that much to build.It is a beautiful ball park though and that roof is just awseome! Great for rainy Seattle.
