Here's the breakdown of the costs of the Marlins Ballpark:
-$155 million from the Marlins
-$347 million from Miami/Dade County: $297 million from tourist tax dollars
-$13 million from the City of Miami
-Total: $515 million
The ballpark will be built on the site of the Orange Bowl, that will be demolished this year. The Miami Hurricanes who played there are moving to Dolphin Stadium for the 2008 season (And you thought the baseball field was tore up in September because of the Dolphins and now there will be two football teams there). More to come on Thursday when City and County Commissioners meet to possibly finalize this proposal.
