October 30, 200322 yr I guess they figure theyre only willing to take 3 more seasons in Pro Player considering the money they are losing. The only way the Marlins can be in a new stadium by 2007 is if the deal is done before the start of next season, and thats assuming it gets done on time. You people don't really belive that B.S. about the Marlins losing money, do you? Granted, they're not as profitable as they should be thanks to that idiot John Henry, but the Marlins are not losing money. They never have lost money. Anyone affiliated with the team that says it's losing money is lying. It's as simple as that. These guys don't get to be that rich by throwing away their money.

Sorry Fish Fry, they do lose money, because most of the major sources of revenues comes from tix sales, and concessions at the ball park. That money still goes to Wayne in the Marlins' case, since he is the owner of the stadium....
October 30, 200322 yr the only ticket sales that go to Wayne are club level & suites. 70% of concessions sales go to the marlins.

October 30, 200322 yr Wednesday, October 29, 2003 Associated Press WASHINGTON -- State money to help build a new ballpark in Miami for the Florida Marlins is a possibility, depending on how much the team wants, Gov. Jeb Bush said Wednesday. "Every sports team, every stadium built (in Florida) has had state support," Bush said. "But if the (request) is so large that it begins to cut into priorities, that makes it a little more difficult." Bush's comments came after Marlins and Miami-Dade County officials announced a plan Tuesday to commit $210 million toward a ballpark projected to cost $325 million County Mayor Alex Penelas said the city and state would have to help with financing. Bush was briefed about the plan three weeks ago but has yet to receive a specific proposal. The governor said he's not opposed to the state helping but added, "There's a limit to what we can do." Opposition by Bush in 2000 scuttled a proposal by the Marlins to use cruise taxes to help finance a new ballpark. Bush said Wednesday he opposed that plan because it would have required too much money from the state. The Marlins, who beat the New York Yankees in the World Series last weekend, are hoping to take advantage of their victory and build a 38,000-seat ballpark with a retractable roof. The team has played at Pro Player Stadium since its first game in 1993 and hopes to move into a new ballpark in 2007. Here comes Jeb

October 30, 200322 yr the only ticket sales that go to Wayne are club level & suites.? 70% of concessions sales go to the marlins. Club Level? Are you serious? What percentage? I won't ever buy a club level seat ever again. What about Publix Power Alley? That's club level 100% It is NOT 70 % of sales It's 70% of the NET, after all costs (including, food, services, employee, profit to Jet) are deducted. On a $5.00 piece of pizza I suspect the Marlins probabaly earn 35-40 cents.
