There's no room for a stadium, a public park, a lake and parking. They will have to have most underground.
In the next decade or two? <5%.What are the chances of this actually happening?

What if the other part is already happening? What if Ruiz says this is where I want my money to go specifically? What if Mario and Rad said they need this and it is a priority? You’re drawing an awful lot of assumptions and conclusions here.I really don't see the need for a new stadium. Miami is a tiny private school so it's not like the student section is taking up a big part of any stadium. Would be better to put that money into making the practice facilities the best in the country and just continue playing at Hard Rock, a stadium that hosts a Super Bowl every couple of years.
So he plan to build something similar to The Battery that the Atlanta Braves built for Truist Park. That’s a great ideaThere are things in motion behind the scenes already. I will give you a case in which Baptist Hospital purchased land to build a hospital in Sunrise just off Sawgrass Expressway and Oakland Park Blvd near Fla Panthers arena. The wheels for this were in motion 2 years before they formally announced it was happening which caused Broward Health to speed up a project because they've had land in Sunrise for 20 plus years and did nothing with it.
Also Tropical Park is not City of Miami, its run by the county and yes they could build something there if it is going to benefit the county and community in the long run which is what Ruiz wants to do. He wants this to be not just a stadium but multi purpose facility, shops, restaurants etc.
Are there many hurdles that are going to need to be cleared? Absolutely thanks to the Marlins fiasco, but its not impossible
People can crap on Ruiz if they want but I will say this... at least the guy is trying to attempting to do something for the program.
It's probably just retaining walls. They portray the water as blue because the root beer colored pond water in FL isn't very attractive.Interesting that there are no luxury boxes/suites in the renders. Assuming that's facing east you're looking at most 100 ft of "waterfront" before the beautiful sightlines provided by the 826. The second render has a motorboat in a concrete pool, very strange.
Not saying it gets done but this is what is smart about this proposal. He isn't just looking to build a stadium for UM. He was smart enough to include essentially improving the rest of the existing park around it and looking to add businesses, etc.. It ultimately would serve the whole community which likely at least improves the chances from like less than 5% to closer to 5%The current county mayor does have a UM law degree so she might be slightly receptive to a private citizen offering to pay for a complete overhaul of a currently decrepit eyesore in the heart of the county. A brand new park is in everyone's best interest.

No sir but I'm envisioning Irma Kostroski and the Santa Monica city councilthis is risible at best. if anything she probably hates football as much as Donna Shalala.
do you know anything else about her? about the commission?
Because you just came from the Conference MegaThread and feel like between the two you’re trapped in quicksand?Why does this thread make me feel like I’m having the strongest dejavú in modern recorded history?
