FINS ANNOUNCE THAT HUIZENGA, ROSS ARE PARTNERS
On the heels of reports that Dolphins owner Wayne Huizenga has sold a portion of the team to Steve Ross, the team has announced that Huizenga and Ross are now 50-50 partners in the ownership of the team and Dolphin Stadium.​
"I have always said that I wanted to bring in a partner," Huienzga said in a release, "and I can't think of anyone more appropriate than Steve. He has unbridled enthusiasm and I couldn't feel better about the future than I do with Steve as my partner and Bill Parcells running football operations."
"Having grown up in South Florida, Dolphins football has been a lifetime passion for me," Ross said in the statement. "I am energized by this opportunity and look forward to being able to once again watch the Dolphins win a Super Bowl alongside all the other loyal Dolphin fans."
Huizenga will remain the managing general partner, and the transaction will require full approval by the other owners.

"The dramatic changes in Miami continue, and this one goes all the way up to ownership.

Dolphins owner Wayne Huizenga has agreed to sell a share of the team to businessman Steve Ross, FOXSports.com has learned. The deal will likely be announced later Friday.
At this point, Ross will only have a minority interest in the team, but could have the opportunity for a controlling interest in the future. Details about how the move will affect the team in the immediate future are not yet known.

When Huizenga hired Bill Parcells earlier this year, one of Parcells' concerns was that Huizenga, one of the most respected owners in the league, would sell off the team. Huizenga assured Parcells that he would be there."
 
The Good thing about all this is the Ross is a fan of this team and grew up loving them so reports of the Dolphins going anywhere wont exist
 
It's been said that Huizenga's kids don't want to take over the franchise, so it makes sense for Wayne to find a partner that will be willing to step in after Wayne decides to step down.
 
i don't know who this Steve Ross is,but as long as he's a fan of the Dolphins,i'm ok with it.
 
the dolphins are getting younger,ross is just 66 years old...
 
greatwade told me about this months ago. It's HUGE news. Expect uniform changes and them to re-sign Zach Thomas


AT STRONG SAFETY!!!!
