Any news on that water park that we heard about years ago?
That would get me excited for football season.

I like the all white vs. the crazy paint scheme that was in previous renderings.

What happened to that disaster of an idea?

So with the fins signing a lease to stay in Miami-Dade, does that preclude them from eventually building a new stadium closer to the city?

i would imagine any sort of major renovation won't be started until next offseason. Season/pre-season is approaching fast.

I still think that proposal looks like garbage. Couldn't they find a more aesthetically pleasing way to put a tarp over the stadium? It looks like someone jerry-rigged a tent over the stadium.

It's not really a lease as the Fins own the stadium.
It's like an 30 year agreeement for bonus payments linked to certain events held there.
I don't think he was interested in building a new stadium at all...This is it.
The stadium isn't the problem...It's the product on that field that blows.

Best they could do from an engineering standpoint...
New stadiums have its outer shell support the roof...You can't do that with this one.

My question is how will that hold up during a hurricane? From the looks of it it would be torn to shreds.

You know when a tent breaks down and all the poles are sticking out of it? That's what it looks like...

Not sure. Definitely not a disaster IMO.
Brilliant idea.
Marlins game are dead zones....but the people who do go love that Clevelander out in Left Field.
Here is some detail on the design of the canopy. Does not mention anything that I can see about how it would withstand hurricane winds (I was a little curious as well) but this gives you an idea that it's not just a tent, almost like a built in structure.

I'm sure that the architects will take the potential threat of hurricanes into consideration prior to renovations.
