Stadium upgrade could bring MLS to Miami

Miami once had a MLS team and it failed, what makes things different this time around?

Yea lets bring an MLS team to Miami, U know that league that folded both teams in Florida about a decade ago. That league that is still in red with over 2/3 of the league losing money.
I mean we got an owner that cant maintain his own stadium so why not add a team that will be ran even worse to the mix.
 
Makes sense after all Tampa stuck the Rowdys in Al Lang Stadium which is a rundown minor league baseball stadium so hey lets add soccer to JimmyProplayerSunlifeMargaritaville Stadium that oughta sucker the tax payers for a vote!
 
On the bright side if MLS is in our stadium we might find a decent kicker out if it!
 
Were the Fusion even a successful team on the field?

It's a no brainer to have a MLS team down here. Obviously winning will mean the most . . . but a successful soccer team will draw fans crazy. I still remember the Fusion at Lockhart stadium . . . loved going to those games.

I have no problem with having a team back in Miami I just dont want to hear the bs that giving taxpayer money to help renovate Ross's stadium brings a soccer team here which would bring in so much revenue to Miami.

I would be willing to bet with damage to the playing surface and reconfiguring the stadium it might actually cost money!

Is the stadium renovation a legitimate possibility? I heard from an unreliable source it was being left to a voter's referendum with speculation that it wasn't very likely to get approved, so I don't really know one way or another, although any momentum seems to be petering out.

I think the whole sports teams asking for handouts is getting old in this community. I think the community would be more behind it, if it felt they were more of a partner then just giving away funds again
 
Wait, aren't the stadium renovations supposed to erase the problems created when the stadium was designed to hold a soccer field? Like the seats being too far from the football sideline?
