It wasn't demolished. That's the funny part.

“I think over the course of the next 60 to 90 days we’ll get a green light and go ahead there. I’m very confident, it’s a beautiful project, I think it will also transform the city of Miami,” he said. Article was from 2019. I support the new soccer stadium, but sometimes the words that are...

Have you been? To call that "new digs" is just criminal. (Pink) lipstick on a pig.

"Demolished" is a bit much. Speaking from my NASCAR days, metal/wooden bleachers are easy to take down and/or reassemble. Seatbacks are easy to install. But the buildings underneath (bathrooms, snack bars, etc.) do not appear to have changed. It definitely is NOT a concrete soccer stadium...

Yes. I should go back and edit my post, but it's long as-is. Billy Corben is "not OK" with Jorge Mas "paving over" a golf course...but he's OK with tearing down several blocks of Overtown, which could otherwise support affordable housing, just to build a soccer-only facility that will be used...

Some simple realities. Billy is not wrong about Crazy Joe Carollo and the Diaz de la Portilla family and the impact that the Hardman family has had. But let's be honest. Crazy Joe Carollo has been elected and re-elected by Miami and/or Dade County residents SINCE THE 1980s. At some point he...
