    Buy it. Like-kind-exchange it with the casino company that just bought Magic City. I just killed about 10 birds with one stone.

    Yeah, while there is some padding in the grad numbers, the undergrad numbers really jumped out at me. WAY bigger than in the 80s-90s. People forget, when Tad Foote took over in 1981, he cut the size of the undergrad enrollment. It must have grown again under Shalala.

    I have to be honest, I was shocked at the size of the school now. Total enrollment is 19,402. When I was at UM (late 80s to early 90s), we had about 8,500 full-time undergrads. And that was always the number I referred to FOR SPORTS, since only the undergrads had to pay the Athletic fee (it...

    Let me see if I understand this. You work for a company, and now you are going to brag that your company "maintains US headquarters in Los Angeles and not Miami" because of the ignorance in Miami? Do you realize where you are posting? It is sad that someone who chooses to behave as an...

    Are you gonna cry now? I've been eliminating the name-calling in posts, particularly with porsters with whom I have no prior history (unlike your litany of terrible porsts). But, sure, take sides with Stephen Ross and some "I haven't porsted in 7 years" rando. Because you are salty that you...

    A couple of weak porsters who I've hammered too many times to count have chosen to take sides with a Stephen-Ross-apologist porster who hasn't porsted in 7 years... It's actually quite funny. Guys siding with Stephen Ross because they can't out-debate me.

    Yes. Your writing style indicates that you are a name-caller who cannot handle adult conversation. I don't care about "local economic impact". Means nothing. I'm sure you will continue to cite a wide variety of meaningless facts and figures that were given to your boss in the hopes that your...

    Yeah, but he WORKS FOR A RACE SPONSOR! Hilarious. Look, there were a ton of problems with the Miami F1 race in 2022, even though the race sold out. "Sell out" in Year 1 is just an indication of demand, not success. And, yes, in Year 2, they changed the mix and put in more of the "more...

    You just made up the "better than 90% of the other facilities" nonsense, because you are losing an argument. Again, he had the chance to bring F1 to Miami without putting it in a football stadium parking lot, and he chose not to. And NO OTHER US owner of a pro sports franchise is "maximizing...

    Thank you for revealing yourself as a Stephen Ross apologist. Oh, my god, how our hearts go out to Stephen Ross. This poor guy can't make a buck. He owns a football team AND a stadium, and he needs to make more money on his "asset". Oh, lord, those poor NFL owners. Yes, the other 31 owners...

    With all due respect... **** off. You are jumping into a conversation as if you have superior information. You do not. You don't know what I've done in my career and who I am still close with . This is why you need to shut up. You WORK for a SPONSOR. You don't know **** about the...

    First, it was not a loser IN YEAR 1. In Year 1, it sold out because of its NOVELTY and the fact that there were only 2 races in the US. As is typical for greedy Stephen Ross, he figured he could sell more tickets and more expensive tickets in Year 2, but he's had to slash ticket prices by up...

    You are pathetic. You're running around acting like you have won an argument over a typo (which I corrected). I don't proclaim to be an expert on everything. But I sure as **** know more than you do about auto racing and ticket sales. That is an absolute definitive fact. Ask around, while I...

    You want me to tell you how I knew what? About the auto racing industry? You're kidding, right? Maybe you could remove your head from your ****** and read the NUMEROUS articles that are talking about how the Miami F1 race is already starting to fail. Don't generalize about "a tricky draw"...

    I'll say this. Everyone knows I respect and admire @rsa coral gables . But there are two things that he mixes up or glosses over in his passion. 1. He frequently cites the acreage of a BUILDING (i.e., Magic City Casino and/or the shopping center north of it) when he tries to claim that an...

    You mean the amazing F1 event that is such a huge moneymaker that in Year 2 they are already offering 40% off for tickets because they can't sell out and the Las Vegas event is infinitely more worthwhile?

    Absolutely correct. And since I worked on One Daytona, I can tell you that there are PROPERTY TAX advantages to doing a mixed-use development. These kinds of sport-centric mixed-use developments have changed the discussion, all over the country. Except in South Florida, where stubborn...
