>> Miami Marlins – $155 million
Miami-Dade County – $347 million
City of Miami – $13 million
Total Cost: $515 million
Not included were the extra $10 million that went toward the demolition of the Orange Bowl stadium, the site preparation outside of the construction budget, as well as the parking garage.
My friends had front row seats at 1st base at dodgers stadium for years and years - when the city got involved more seats were added in front of them and now only go to politicians and those politically connected.
They take care of their own.
