August 22, 200619 yr Jerry will have on the Mayor of Hialeah, Julio Robaina....who will be talking about the article that appeared in today's Miami Herald and will be giving a status update as to what is going on within the city, county and team as far as negotiations go.... tune in tonight at 6 p.m. (he is scheduled to be on right at 6 p.m.)
August 22, 200619 yr 1) Robaina - Stadium on City of Miami is Plan B, per Bob Dupay. MLB is serious with Hialeah as their # 1 option 2) Robaine - Loria called to assure me they see Hialeah as their # 1 choice 3) Robaina - He sees a potential closed deal by end of Agust, when all parties meet (MLB, City, County and Marlins) 4) Robaina - We are much much much closer on closing the funding gap 5) Robaina - I will make sure the deal makes sense to the city long term. I won't do a bad deal" - used Miami Arena as an example 6) Robaina explained the complications on the Bonds and projecting new revenue on the area 7) Robaina - Assurances of people like Codina (on how soon they will start building in the area), makes the Mayor confortable with his side of the deal and the City's commitment That's what I heard

August 22, 200619 yr I beieve Hialeah has to be way ahead of any Downtown initiative. lets get it done...A Downtown stadium would involve so many more things to happen before it is even remotely feasible...lets just get it done!
August 22, 200619 yr Author great to hear the mayor come back strong....good to see MLB think Hialeah is legit
August 23, 200619 yr I don't think his information is up to date. He will find things out at the meeting he is unaware of. Loria may think Hialeah is #1 right now but that can change.....
August 23, 200619 yr I don't think his information is up to date. He will find things out at the meeting he is unaware of. Loria may think Hialeah is #1 right now but that can change..... May Loria want Hialeah as #1 so he stays as Marlins #1?
August 23, 200619 yr "May Loria want Hialeah as #1 so he stays as Marlins #1?" Loria wanted Hialeah #1 cause he thought it was the only game in town. He did not know about the Miami plan til one week ago.
August 24, 200619 yr :hat my problem with miami is that manny diaz quit on us last year.that 's what caused the fire sale and the threat of moving the team out of state. why should the marlins trust manny diaz again?
