The Official Site of Major League Baseball: News: Marlins' ballpark plan approved

Construction is scheduled to start by November, with the stadium ready for the opening of the 2011 season. The Marlins' Dolphin Stadium lease, long a problem because the club did not share in parking or concession revenues, expires after the 2010 season.

The stadium cost is estimated at $525 million, and the city has agreed to build an on-site, 6,000-space parking lot at an additional approximate cost of $94 million.

The county's tab adds up to $347 million, all but $50 million to be derived from tourist-tax revenues. The Marlins, who will contribute $155 million, will get $120 million in loans, and the other $35 million will be fronted by the county and paid back through yearly rent payments of $2.3 million.

In addition to building the parking garage, the city picks up $23 million, including $10 million for the demolition and cleanup of the Orange Bowl, the site of the new stadium.
By 2011, this Marlins team should be pretty damn good with guys like Ramirez, Maybin and Andrew Miller to break in that stadium. Will people go to games now that they have a new stadium? I sure hope so.

With a new stadium it should get fans to the games. I know I would go.

Loria got lucky when the city decided to tear down the Orange Bowl.

The Marlins' new stadium isn't waterfront property like Tampa's proposed new stadium, but it is in Little Havana, so maybe they'll finally score with the Cuban population.

Counting down to: The end of Andruw Jones's contract with the Dodgers:

They should bring back Livan Hernandez for that

I thought that El Nino should've remained in Florida longer than he did, but John Henry wasn't the freespending owner that he is now of the Red Sox.
