this whole thing sucks.
the marlin money should have gone to the Dolphins. tell the marlins to go F themselves and move if they wanted. this isn't a baseball town anyway.
neither team deserves any public money

AEG does not own the Lakers. Philip Anschutz personally owns part of the Lakers, but his company AEG does not. AEG only owns the stadium, not the team.
“I have no interest at all in moving the Dolphins,'' Ross said in an e-mail. The bid, he said, is, “strictly advancing our real estate, sports, entertainment and technology business.”
I dont see why this has anything to do with moving the Dolphins to LA. Sounds like a legitimate business move to me.
The major assets owned by AEG are the Staples Center in LA, the Cal State stadium, and the Millennium Dome in London. AEG also owns stakes in Major League Soccer teams (DC, Chicago, NYC, and San Jose), and the hockey team the LA Kings. It sounds like a good buy to me.
AEG was in talks to develop a new stadium in Los Angeles, not take ownership of a team - and Ross is in the commerical real estate development business. Owning a stadium and owning a team are not the same things. Even if Ross wanted to move the team, whats he going to do with an empty stadium in south FL? That would be a huge money pit. Nobody is buying that stadium without a pro sports team's with a long term stadium lease.
You all are paranoid.
Well that should end all the Los Angelas Fairies dreams from certain people on this website.
I thought about it and I really don't care. If it happened I would just stop following the NFL. As you get older you begin to realize it's just the same bs over and over. The only reason I care now is because I have been a fan of the Dolphins since I was about 7 years old. Thats 37 years. That really is the only attachment that I have to the NFL. Now if Orlando had a team or even an MLS team I would be thrilled. Assuming the Dolphins were no longer n Miami.
Yeah uhm, AEG isn't just the LA stadium folks, calm down.the move has absolutely nothing to do with relocation. AEG is a product that would be too good to pass up for him to own. It's a company that has helped save several sports franchises around the world.
So he has the money for this BUT needs welfare for this stadium...hahahahahahaha
Bravo. Your posts are really great. Save me some time. You hit all the valid points.
My browser doesn't work well on Finheaven, for some reason. I can't see anything until I switch to "printable view." That means I'm spared sigs and avatars and other nonsense but it also means it's not as convenient, and often my stays are short here, and I don't visit as many forums or revisit threads. My number of thanks is certainly lower than it should be, although I've tried to improve that lately.
I wouldn't mind setting up my account to automatically thank TheWalrus for every post, regardless of content. I'd take my chances.
