Name 3 Good Things Ross Has Done as Dolphins Owner

Exactly right, couldn't agree more
In all fairness Ross was a 50% (not majority) owner in 2008, so he gets half the credit for hiring Ireland while Wayne gets the other half.

he has great intentions and WANTS to learn the business but problem is and fans' problem is is that he doesn't know the business
fans would OUTCRY if Peterson was czar, even though it is sorely needed, Ross is they type that should just sit back and enjoy the investment but he wants to know his product and be mentally as well as financially involved with the investment
How long had Kraft owned the Pats?
before they reached the SB? he took over in '93 I believe and they made it in '96. he made the wise decision to strip BP of GM duties after 1995, w/o that move they don't reach the SB.
How does he get credit for not raising ticket prices when demand is steadily declining? That's fairly basic economics.
I'd virtually guarantee he'd raise them if he thought he could get away with it. If we have a successful season combined with a playoff win or two, don't expect to pay the rate from the prior season.
IMO, the best thing he's done is to demand public financing for the stadium patch instead of financing it on his own. If he paid for patching the thing, we're stuck with a hopeless venue for another 25 or 30 years.
I'm also glad that he threw a public fit after the legislature turned hm down, and launched the juvenile scheme of retribution, including some laughably inept campaign flyers. That was unintentionally a very good thing. I support anything to turn sentiment against Ross and prevent the patch. We have to focus long term and have confidence that the next owner will get it right, with a new stadium in a better area.
I'd also dispute the claim in this thread that most people love the new logo. I've asked many people around town, in various settings, and I can't remember one overboard positive reaction. The vast majority are close to neutral. Again, message board polls and posts aren't exactly the greatest barometer.
Donating the 200 million to Michigan instead of Michigan State was also a good thing. He got the name right.

Not a fan of Ross but hell its not like he took football ownership 101. People assume because people have a lot of money that they will excel in everything they do and that's really not correct.
Three good things hmm
Okay I give up- I really tried

well outside of Robbie no dolphin owner has held tight to the pursestrings. Huzienga aggressively pursued coaching talent and was willing to spend to get the man that he wanted.
NO other owner was able to lure Saban to the NFL and many tried. He convinced Johnson to come back to coaching and many had tried. I kind of miss an owner who got out and got what he wanted instead of whatever we have here. Miami used to be a special place and now its just another job
