Good news for Marlins fans today: state legislators approved a plan to pay for a new stadium for Miami's baseball team:State taxpayers would pay $60 million over 30 years to help build a retractable-roof ballpark in Miami for the Florida Marlins under legislation approved unanimously Thursday by House and Senate committees.The team, Miami and Miami-Dade County have committed to paying $460 million of the $490 million project. The remaining $30 million would come from bonds backed by the $60 million in state money.
Any park, whether it has a retractable roof or not, is a step up from the Marlins' current situation, in which they basically occupy Dolphin Stadium until the football season starts again. Now, the Marlins will have their own place and their own geographic identity, something two World Series victories in 15 years of existence failed to deliver. (Aside: as a Cubs fan, I find that rate of victory obscene and excessive.)
Plus, Dontrelle Willis keeps getting stuck in floods in Dolphin Stadium! It's obvious they need a new stadium, one that can flush all that water away in an efficient and environmentally friendly manner.
