Dolphins "open minded" to stadium in Palm Beach

Yes. Yes, you can. Its incredibly ignorant and incorrect, but you're right, you CAN do it.

 

You've never been to a game in Kansas City have you? They struggle to win and well they are always sold out.

But thanks for the insult chief.

 

Either this is just someone being sarcastic or a really uninformed individual.......I hope its the former rather than the latter.

 

That doesn't have anything to do with it, Sport.

The problem is that in your head you've decided that, good attendance = voting for stadium improvements. Its a false equivalence that has no bearing in reality...you made it up.

 

When I read his comment, I was like.....this guy has to be joking.....I mean no one could be serious and say that.

 

What can one say of this kind of logic, except to feel pity for this individual...

 

Insulting and attacking other posters is against the TOS. That goes for everyone, on every topic.

This is a significant issue for the Miami Dolphins. It is not an issue that is going away. There is no reason for the thread to close.

 

Seriously ? Really ? Guess you didn't see they had two blackouts last year, and most games had at least 15,000 empty seats. If you don't believe me I can go on to NFL Rewind and make some screen caps of the stadium shots.

 

You really don't know what you're talking about. Stop while you're ahead. Save some face.

 

A professional football team in the city I love is important to the city, whether you understand the impact it does have is what's in question here..apparently many folks feel like you, which is not a good thing when it comes to sustaining a cash cow that is a pro NFL team..

If your saying that it's a guarantee that we won't move, if your guaranteeing our next owner is as good as Ross is, if you can prove to me that a lackadaisical fanbase doesn't affect a football team negatively, I'll be happy to digress..unfortunately, I'm worried that my team will move, I worry that the next owner won't give a sh&$, and I'm sure that the stadium is one of the main culprits to the deterioration of our culture, and today we find out that S Florida residents don't really care, or have the sense to overlook a previous issue to see the bigger picture for their own city.( which is funny as hell, in a bad way).these are issues, and we can spin them in different ways to make us feel better, or we can try to make a change and start to support the team a lot better, regardless of the record.

 

Lol, that's funny Des, so let me see here, you think Ross should be the ground breaker for personal finance? And do you or don't you feel that the deal presented in this situation was ground breaking?

 

Who in the world is the arbiter of what is correct for a business to do? I would think the correct thing for an NFL team would be playing in the city that provides the most incentive to do so.

 

No, it wasn't particularly groundbreaking. Ross just offered to cover the upfront cost of giving him the money, ie a special election. Ross paying interest on the money would be groundbreaking.

And since when was "groundbreaking" criteria for evaluating the proposal on the table? There are no points awarded for originality.

Please stop with this "all government spending is good government spending" point of view stuff, please. The fact is that the city and county did want to hold a vote on renovating the stadium.

 

I guess we will just keep playing in this giant concrete morgue until we start winning again.
Then all the fair weather fans and bandwagon jumpers will be along for the ride.
It pisses me off how Dolphin fans ***** and make ridicule at the Patriots fanbase for being lame for so many years and then showing up when the team turns it around.
It is the same in Miami. Hypocrisy.

 

When did I say all government spending is good? The Marlins $2B stadium is a great example of bad government spending.

 

If anyone thinks there will be an attendance boost in WPB, just look at every other team in Florida. They all struggle in attendance. West Palm is not the one magical area in the state where attendance issues won't exist.

 

I understand Ross felt the impetus to get this done sooner rather than later due to the awarding of upcoming Super Bowls L and LI, but I can't help but think he put the cart before the horse. The idea is to get the Dolphins back to being a winning team that gets everyone excited, and THEN ask for some money for stadium projects. Right now I can't help but think that everyone are thinking, the Dolphins? They've been great in the past, ... but I don't see why they should be a spending priority.

 

To me it comes off as: "How dare they, after what the Marlins just did." Piss poor timing on their part.

 

my thought exactly. build the Orange Bowl II

 

shoestring budget or not they are paying something for the right to use Sun-Life stadium. the Phins work with the U and they could present a nice package to the community and let the most interested party step forth.

 

That is how Seattle lost the Sonics

 

Their owner was also from Oklahoma, and was hellbent on moving them there anyway. I'd be more lenient if they were actually deserving of a handout. Sucking for over a decade, and asking for money immediately after what happened with the Marlins is not good. Kinda like a kid who gets horrible grades in school asking their parents for a Lexus.

 

Come to West Palm!! Lets make them a Kingdom and bring the Phins to the NFL Elite once again!!

 

I'm sure plenty of people share your opinion. But I don't believe the stadium upgrades have much at all to do with the Dolphins. Now that the opportunity to host Super Bowls is most likely off the table for the foreseeable future, I would be very surprised if the issue of stadium renovations comes up again during Ross' tenure.

 

What I'm saying is if she's filing an absentee ballot she could possibly not even be a homeowner.

And everybody in Florida pays sales tax.
