Stadium Saga is Over

Scratch that, it's about over. The deal is finally set, but still needs a vote.

Finally. Not that I'm in support of a Marlins stadium after the constant fire sales, but if they wanted to stay in Miami, this was the only way it was getting done. A downtown site would have been preferable to a Little Havana location, but I suppose baseball fans will take what they can get.

I for one refuse to go to a Marlins game at the Orange Bowl site. Too many bad feelings about what to me is desecrating historic lands. You couldn't pay me to go even if they one day return to the World Series. It just feels wrong.

It sure will be interesting to see how people react in a few years to having to call the team the Miami Marlins though.
