eh, the stadium deal is going through
this is just a blip on the radar
I seem to remember hearing about how Cleveland and Seattle were terrible baseball towns.
Look, I don't like the whole stadium extortion game anymore than the next person, but I believe the Marlins drew 3 million fans in their first year and drew pretty well the year after their 2nd world series. All of it in a crummy rainfall-prone setting in stifling summer heat. The population of Miami likes baseball as much as any population in the country. If they do the park right, I expect them to draw above average on a consistent basis.
Stick to your guns.
I wouldn't expect Loria to put any money into the team, I expect him to sell as fast as he can as soon as the new place opens.
Go Gators!
