No owner in the NFL would be getting the Dolphins a new stadium right now, not after the Marlins fiasco. To buy the land and build a top notch stadium from the ground up would likely cost over a billion dollars. That's going to require major public financing and I don't see that happening.
I think that major stadium renovations that address the two biggest problems with the current facility (distance from the action, intensity of noise) is the best we can hope for, and it sounds like that's what he wants to do.
And believe me, I'd love to see the team get a new stadium more along the lines of the old Orange Bowl experience more than anyone. It's just not going to happen.
If it had been his goal from day one we would have gotten that stadium instead of the Marlins. It's definitely tougher now, but that only amplifies the wrong headed, penny pinching thinking I'm talking about.
This kind of band aid will do more harm than good, imo. It basically ensures we'll be in some version of that stadium for decades, rather than waiting it out a few years and taking another shot at a real solution.
