Miami-Dade pitches stadium
Okay, maybe we spoke too soon. With the Florida Marlins holding their World Series victory parade today, Miami-Dade County Manager George Burgess announced a plan to spend $73 million in county hotel-tax funds toward a new retractable-roofed stadium for the ballclub. If approved by the Miami-Dade County Commission, the plan would still leave the projected $325 million project short by $115 million, much of which the city of Miami could be asked to pick up.
