I'm glad the roof is retractable. Being able to choose whether you want to play inside or outside is awesome.

So with this extra money more players will stay and be signed which means a winning team
It's more complicated than this. Panthers have had their own place for over a decade and they haven't done jack.

However one thing that I think people are overlooking a lot is the ROOF!! No more rain delays! No more 110 Heat Index games. People will show up more because they know that no matter what baseball will be played. In our tropical climate baseball has always needed a dome and now we will have it.
Yes, the weather is a factor in whether or not people come, but it's not enough to turn around the abysmal attendance figures the Marlins have had throughout their history. When it comes down to it people come to see the team win. If they aren't winning, people aren't going to come.

But the Marlins have a great organization for makin talen and finding talent. They have two superstars under contract for a while and they will probably sign Ugla to a long term deal too. So thats three all stars right there. The Panthers as an organization are not that great but it is a mircle IMO that hockey has lasted so long in Florida!

So what even if it just increases attendance by 2,000-4,000 a game thats still a big plus. I am looking at 25-30,000 a game first season and if they keep having decent seasons not all championship seasons but decent seasons I think the team will be happy with out 17,000-20,000 a game. It will be a lot better then they have now. With the weekends in the high 20s to 30s. If only the Marlins were in the AL east. Boston and Yankee games would be sold out every time.

Yes, I certainly think that more consistency would go a long way. We'll see what happens.

I won some money on the final two games but this really stings. The first year was the opportunity.

Plenty of websites I'll stay away from for several days minimum, to avoid the mocking euphoria.

GLad they did!!!!! Dirk and the Mavs deserve it. No egos, no "Yes we can" bull**** at the Miami Arena. I'm glad the Heat got shut down!!!!

Heat fans thought this would be an easy win. Get 3 Ego maniacs, and win. Not this year. I could care less if they win after. I'm glad Dallas proved them wrong.

EAT YOUR HEARTS OUT HEAT FANS!!!

LEBRON AND WADE FAILED TO DELIVER....
