pierremvp1 Posted April 28, 2008 Share Posted April 28, 2008 All I can say is "I told you so." I do believe that finding a GC to sign the kind of contract Loria & Co. would like is a hurdle to overcome equal to the original approval by the Miami-Dade commissioners. I think MLB is going to have to intervene(behind the scenes) and put some pressure on Loria to ante-up a little more on the over-runs. I don't believe that you can build a retractable roof stadium for 515 million plus what is it, 20 million in cost over-runs, that Loria has pledged. There's only so much cost over-run protection these contractors can buy at a reasonable price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pierremvp1 Posted May 1, 2008 Share Posted May 1, 2008 Well....tomorrow is D-Day. The day that the construction bids need to be submitted. We won't here anything right away, probably won't hear anything until the contract is signed...IF they're able to negotiate one. . One sign that things may not be going smoothly is if we here any statement from Loria, even if it's not directly related to a construction agreement. Any word from him would be a sign that he's looking for more money or getting ill at the prospect that he might have to use more of his own.
