A new Florida Marlins stadium?
Buy me some peanuts and a retractable roof
South Florida’s Major League Baseball team is looking toward Feb. 13 as the day Miami-Dade County officials will give the green light to begin ground breaking on a new stadium for the Marlins on the site of the old Orange Bowl. Story here.
Fishy math
Once in the new stadium, the team’s name would change to the Miami Marlins, and the team, which has ranked last in attendance, will begin drawing 2 million fans a year, the team’s management predicts.
The last time the team drew 2 million fans was during its first playoff season in 1997. The new location, more remote to Palm Beach and Broward counties, will make the stadium further away from a key part of the team’s fan base.

They are probably counting the ticket scalpers, dealers, junkies, and homeless hanging around outside the stadium in addition to the people actually attending the game as fans.
Most people have no desire to go to Dolphin stadium let alone enter that rat hole called Miami. Obama’s car The Beast is the only vehicle that wouldn’t get broken into parked in Miami.

Kathy: How many games last year did you sit in the rain? Be honest. A roofed stadium will do little to boost attendance. FACT!!
