September 27, 200915 yr Author Construction on the team's new home at the Orange Bowl grounds is pushing forward at a rapid pace. http://florida.marli...t=.jsp&c_id=fla
September 27, 200915 yr It was finished two years ago, they just didn't tell anybody so they can surprise everybody by saying that they "accidently" built the stadium in Las Vegas and will have to move the team there instead. ldo
September 27, 200915 yr :lol Absolutely not. In engineering projects of this magnitude, when something is "ahead of schedule," it refers to a matter of days and most certainly not twelve months. They likely have a tightly scheduled itinerary for each day and will probably be working until the last couple of weeks (if not less) before the first game is scheduled to be played. If anything is likely to happen out of schedule, it would be a delay and the Marlins would be forced to open in 2013 or later (or possibly play a couple of months in LandShark Stadium). This sort of occurrence is highly unlikely but not without precedent. Any number of things can go wrong during the course of construction; several workmen died when a crane lifting a section of the roof collapsed.

Any number of things can go wrong during the course of construction; several workmen died when a crane lifting a section of the roof collapsed. 99.9% sure that won't happen. Schedules take into account such things as weather delays and construction mishaps. Anything that could delay progress for a few days, or longer. If anything they would be working OT, even around the clock, to be complete by the projected date. That would be part of the "cost over-runs" the team would be responsible for. The final touches of the place would be concession areas, landscaping, and other "entertainment" type facilities the place will be offering. Things that can be accomplished while the first parts of the 2012 season is under way (look at Joe Robbie right now). It wouldn't be the perfect Opening Day, but it would be a last ditch scenario.

Like he said, it's highly unlikely but it has happened. Miller Park immediately comes to minds.
September 27, 200915 yr It will take longer than projected because they will have to remove all those royal blue seats and replace with the correct color. They are going to realize that they put the seats in for Mets fans to blend in and not the Marlins mini-nation (Loria's mistake...New York guy at heart.....hahahaha).

Well, didn't I acknowledge that it is very unlikely to happen? Facing potential revenue losses, Loria would do everything possible to ensure that the park opens on time. However, any number of things can go wrong. The falling crane in Milwaukee damaged the structure to the point where opening day was delayed for two years. Lawsuits in San Diego forced the park to be opened two years behind schedule. Essentially what I'm saying is that it's chimerical for the park to open a full year in advance, but there is always the minute possibility that something unforeseen might occur that would delay the park's opening.
September 28, 200915 yr The absolute best is super-high prices for a 2011 postseason opening. More likely is opening in time for participation in the 2012 WBC, perhaps for the finals. :mischief
October 3, 200915 yr Yay, Kiko in a 5 run game in the 9th! A step in the right direction for the stadium!
October 3, 200915 yr Author The way those construction workers were working today, i thought they'd complete it next week.It was like god had it on fast forward.
October 6, 200915 yr The absolute best is super-high prices for a 2011 postseason opening. More likely is opening in time for participation in the 2012 WBC, perhaps for the finals. If I'm not mistaken, the next WBC will be in 2013 and Miami is definately being considered to host a Semifinal or Final round in the new stadium.

They decided to go every four years instead of three from this point on.
October 14, 200915 yr Author You all will be amazed at the progress in a short time come December 1st.The Marlins have a surprise for us in 2011.
October 14, 200915 yr You all will be amazed at the progress in a short time come December 1st.The Marlins have a surprise for us in 2011. I hope your right, but I imagine the roof adds a lot of time/ complexity to the construction. No expert on building but would be surprised if its early.
October 15, 200915 yr What are you guys basing this on? I'm not a civil engineer but I don't see how someone simply watching the stadium web cam can come to the conclusion that a climate-controlled retractable roof stadium will be finished tweleve months early.

Inside information, and i leaked it.
October 15, 200915 yr not a chance of this being completed a full year early aside from the completely unreasonable amount of coordination and everything else that it would take you need to look at the current construction economy - it's pretty much crap - so if companies can schedule and count on a job in 2011 they're going to do it you have many contractors bidding jobs at cost just to keep crews running - they're in no rush to get out there and find the next job, because the next job isn't really there and it's not super profitable so if you can keep moving and stay busy now you do it and if that takes you to 2012 then even better - it's just one more year for things to improve
October 23, 200915 yr it wont like other say their need get it build right so wont be any problem what help we didnot have any hurr and now dry season start that be big help
October 24, 200915 yr I will say it does not get completed early but instead will be considered finished "on time."
