Judging the Marlins
A judge handed down a decision favorable to the Marlins building a new stadium:
The Florida Marlins cleared a major hurdle in their bid to get a new stadium Tuesday when a judge ruled the proposed tax-supported facility would serve a public purpose, giving her no right to overturn the decision of the elected officials who approved it.
In her 41-page ruling, Circuit Court Judge Jeri Beth Cohen wrote there were no grounds to overturn the judgment of the Miami-Dade County Commission. One issue is left for Cohen to resolve, but the Marlins and county feel it does not affect the stadium plans.
If they build the stadium and no one comes, do taxpayers get a refund?

If they build the stadium and the team is terrible, do they get a refund??!
Terrible? They're more exciting and better than half of the National League.
Why build the stadium? Nobody will come. marlins should use one of the spring training facilities left vacant once teams with fans head north. Seriously, what are they trying build? If it holds more than 25,000 it is a waste of dough for all involved.
