August 4, 200520 yr Does anyone know whatever happened to the city and county(not MLB) extending their talks until August 1, 2005?
August 5, 200520 yr Only news is Canes News: http://capefish.blogspot.com/2005/08/mayor...not-option.html
August 5, 200520 yr All has been too quiet on the stadium front. I don't know if that is good or bad.. :confused
August 9, 200520 yr All has been too quiet on the stadium front. I don't know if that is good or bad.. :confused 890068[/snapback] It has to be bad or else they would be announcing some wonderful news. Any bad news would probably upset the team and fans and cost the team a lot of wins and money.
August 9, 200520 yr Actually, things that are big like this are usually done in the quiet shadows. That way the politicos can get their bribes and it gets done. See the AmericanAirlines Arena.
August 12, 200520 yr Hi, guys! I used to post on marlinszone.com, but that site closed. I was registered here, also, but I didn't use to post here. Regarding the stadium, I spoke today with a friend of mine, who is an engineer, and asked him for a common friend. He told me that our friend was working for an engineering firm, and was participating in the construction documents of the new stadium for the Marlins. I got fully and pleasantly surprised. He told me that the stadium definitely goes.

August 13, 200520 yr Just something I heard on the Big O's show today: Apparently, the team is trying to bring in a private investor and that they are pretty close to doing so. And the ironic thing was the caller's name: Admin. :plain

Nice to see some seconds on that.
August 16, 200520 yr Unless it's news they have a definite plan in place I think we won't here anything....any news or speculations, good or bad, will distract the team. If there's a will there's a way and there is a will to keep this team in Florida, it will get done.
August 16, 200520 yr I like the information given on the Marlins' webpage about how the MLB is set on the Miami area being a good investment in the long run. That isn't word for word, but that is basically what it states.
August 17, 200520 yr Author Guys correct me if I am wrong. I was watching NBC 6 a couple of days ago about how the City of Miami was in trouble with the IRS since they have all this surplus bond money that needs to be used and that they have gone past a deadline. The city had requested for an extension. Then the reporter states that the City Of Miami Mayor has stated that the matter will be resolved soon since 70-80 % of the bond money will be used for construction projects that will begin in October 2005. Is this the same bond money which was going to be used to refurbish the Orange Bowl and possibly on the new stadium? If I remember well they needed to start constructing this year in order to play ball in 2008.
August 17, 200520 yr I don't know if that money was earmarked for the Ballpark, but I think some of it was to be used for the Orange Bowl.
