September 26, 200620 yr (Quick aside: H. Wayne Huizenga did offer the Marlins free rent forever in Dolphin Stadium if they just would get rid of the infield dirt. They said there was no way around the dirt). http://www.sun-sentinel.com/sports/sfl-hyd...la-sports-front I can't wait until we break the chains of Dolphin Stadium. I don't believe this report either. Hyde is a tool and I wouldn't be surprised if he's making this up.
September 26, 200620 yr full grass infield would be pretty different As for Wayne, I dont have hatred for him like alot of you all do. He did bring 2 sports to south Florida and is a good owner for the fins. Oh wells. Henry needs to get kicked in the nuts though.
September 26, 200620 yr Author full grass infield would be pretty different Don't kid yourself it would have been artificial turf. Also, Wayne promised he would not let baseball in South Fla succeed. That is reason enough to hate him.

Henry needs to get kicked in the nuts though. I concur. I'd even go as far to say that I'd rather have Wayne as owner than Loria.
September 26, 200620 yr Sounds like something made up. BTW, what is even rent? I don't know. But that probably wouldn't include the lease terms that require the Marlins to pay the ushers and concessionaires during game days, or offer shares of parking, concessions, stadium advertising or luxury boxes or involvements with key local businesses. So what is it? A. an altruistic concession to garner support for Huizenga B. an insignificant gesture to lure the Marlins to stay C. an attempt to undermine support for the Marlins' new stadium (much like the relaxation on the threat to kick out the Marlins while they were lobbying in Talhassee) D. a rumor with no basis in fact E. a sign that Huizenga cares more about the aesthetics or his Dolphins' chances at winning than any financial benefit lost F. a concession out of fear of losing the Marlins
September 27, 200620 yr Total crap. Who brought the infield dirt there in the first place???? The same person who has since he sold the team tried to reap all the benefits and none of the expenses of hosting a MLB team.
September 28, 200620 yr old skool I dont mind it personally, but they still need a retractable roof and all
September 28, 200620 yr nah, there is something about the dirt diamond that is essential to every baseball field
September 28, 200620 yr Total crap. Who brought the infield dirt there in the first place???? The same person who has since he sold the team tried to reap all the benefits and none of the expenses of hosting a MLB team. Exactly. And why do the Dolfans want us and the infield dirt gone?? They say it costs them games. I still haven't figured out how they play on one surface and the visiting team plays on another.
October 8, 200620 yr nah, there is something about the dirt diamond that is essential to every baseball field We will disagree on this one. I like the looks of dirt just around the bases. And with our talented grounds crew it could be a benefit for us. Changing the higth of the grass depending on what team is coming in here, etc... But IF dirt isn't the topic. Retractable roof is.
