May 10, 200521 yr The article doesnt provide any details or sources, so I don't know who really proposed this or how valid it is, but I thought Id post it nonetheless. Marlins Propose Retractable Roof For Dolphins Stadium Tue May 10, 9:21 AM ET The Florida Marlins may have struck out with the state in trying to fund a new stadium but now team supporters are looking at other options. The latest idea involves putting a retractable roof over Dolphins Stadium. Tax dollars that would have been used to pay for a new stadium next to the? ? Orange Bowl would be used to pay for the new roof. http://news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&u=/w...lo_wplg/2712137 Yes, that's the whole article.
May 10, 200521 yr Would be interesting if Marlins had the retractable roof built for the stadium(paid for) in exchange for a new much much much better lease.
May 10, 200521 yr Wayne proposed it but had to pay for it by kicking out the Marlins and becoming a Super Bowl Supersite. NFL balked and now he can't install the roof.
May 10, 200521 yr Author Im guessing since it says "team supporters" that some group not really affiliated with the team came up with this idea.
May 11, 200521 yr Team Supporters=Dolphins Stadium Enterprises 769155[/snapback] Actualy its called Huizenga Holdings LLC. Since this would cut Miami out of the equation (the money they would contribute can't be used outside of the city limits) that would mean only the county and the Marlins participating. If this were to happen my guess would be that the county would take possession/buyout the stadium and then lease it to both parties, the Dolphins and Marlins. There isn't a chance in h*ll the Marlins will continue to play in "Dolphins Stadium". Zero, Nada, Zilch, None.
May 11, 200521 yr I'm a bit torn here. Putting a roof on PP Park means keeping the Marlins in the stadium and here in Miami, but under the control of Wayne. :mad Screw him, lets get our own playground!
May 11, 200521 yr I went to the source of this rumor, and that's all it is, a rumor. There's no source, the headline would indicate the Marlins organization proferred this concept, but the story refers only to "supporters" of the team. Repeating what I've said previously it is inconceivable to me that the Marlins would ever consider staying in Joe Robbie so long as it's owned by Huizenga Holdings and concessions are under the control of the current caterer. This story, to my knowledge has not been picked up anywhere else in the press. I see it as just more media shilling for Wayne.
May 11, 200521 yr You know this got me thinking. The owner of the Heat (Arison) had a major falling out with the garbage man when they were both trying to get a new arena, the current and previous Marlins owner didn't and don't want anything to do with him and although I can't speak to the Hockey ownerships feelings on him I can tell you Broward County has gotten about $800,000 of the $10,000,000+ they were supposed to get to this point in Rent. (I think those numbers are correct) This guy is trash.
May 11, 200521 yr How about we just build a stadium without a roof,that'll guarantee us a stadium isn't the roof like 100 million bucks?We can add the roof a couple years later when we have money from all the revenue
