Ruiz family attempting to build a stadium in Coral Gables...

[CaneDog66]

What should the nick name be? The wall? The eye? Should it even be Hurricane themed?

The Eye of the Storm? Of course it should have some element of Hurricanes to it!!!

UNDERGROUND!

LoL they are not taking away the IM fields.

Potential 20 bil. What’s dude actually worth now?

Not sure.

He just bought a $49M mansion last year though.

 

[DamnLiesAndStatistics]

Also lets say this gets approved in 22 how long would it take to build and be ready to be played in ?

Given Coral Gables noise restrictions on work? 2054

Good luck explaining that to sponsors. Why would miami lose out on all that gameday revenue? No way that happens if the stadium is ever built.

UGA and UF play in an NFL stadium every year. Hard Rock can be a “neutral site.”

Coral Gables High is not on a big piece on land. It's a thin vertical strip that would make a 50k stadium impossible unless Ruiz bought up the buildings across the street on San Lorenzo ave. He should go after Riviera Country Club land!! Enough land for a stadium, tailgates, parking, and closer to campus. Just please add a canopy!!!

Why would we do that? Against who? FSU? Lol. No chance.

Bro, that’s why it’s so genius. Put the stadium and parking underneath the IM fields. No more lightning delays, it’s perfect.

and another down the street worth $25M for no reason…

That’s probably the plan but the hardest would be the school hence it’s mentioning.

Neutral sites are typically for non-conference games. i.e. Miami vs LSU and Miami vs Bama in the recent years.

There’s never no reason bro. Property is a good way to create equity.

doubt it ends up at a $20B valuation, but more than a couple B’s at least.

Agreed…good inflation hedge, just meant it’s not like he needed a house.

Guys an attorney and a billionaire entrepreneur...something tells me he just might be able to make this happen

All I know is that **** better be a BIG *** U and have an open end zone with some big *** palm trees swaying in the wind

FIFY

On the site of Coral Gables High school. 50,000 seats. Also plans to find a new area for a new Coral Gables High.

@Liberty City El - I can only imagine how greasy and slimy this is going to be with the dirty politics and back door deals.

 

[Canedude08]

Wow. This scares you? No billionaire is new money.

Lots of billionaires out there have been exposed as scam artists. I don't think Ruiz is running game, but when a guy is desperately trying to buy his way in, and do big ticket items immediately, it does raise red flags.

That said, I also think that this is playing to the crowd and setting people up for a tremendous fall. If it happens, then great. But set realistic expectations.

Believe it when I see it
