November 29, 200718 yr this is awesome. Its really an innovative roof design. again the marlins building anywhere not on the water front in miami is absolutely stupid. period. Find some land. Find some land that's not going to cost at minimum $50 million to purchase. There is a reason why not even Bicentennial Park has come up as a serious waterfront site in 4-5 years. But just try to find some land. :thumbup if the city wanted to help the team build a stadium they could, by buying the land and then leasing it to the team or something along those lines along the idea of eminent domain. Why would the city issue further debt to an owner who had to put up the team as collateral to build a ballpark?

November 29, 200718 yr Sorry Festa, But Nationals Park looks like what happens 9 months after Yankee Stadium has a one-night stand with Citizen's Bank Park. Thats pretty true.
November 29, 200718 yr I'm stabbing Loria in the face if they get a stadium before us. Better get it sharp and ready. This is ridiculous, the rays are getting such a nice park with a unique rain shield and we are stuck in DS cause we can't finalize plans and constantly become unsure of what move to make next! We need REAL mangement. Can we please plan a freak accident on sampson and Loria?
December 5, 200718 yr The Rays are dead serious about getting their new ballpark. I heard their radio campaign today which told you to go this website. Thats right, they have a website dedicated to their new ballpark! Made me sick. So I had to take a looky see. They even have a virtual tour of the new park. Im jealous. FWIW, their radio ad promises not to ask for a dime from the taxpayers. majorleaguedowntown.com :confused
