Even though my alma matter Florida International University (FIU) is temporarily being hosted there, the Marlins are laying eyes on the area to make a new stadium with a 'retractable roof.' The Marlins have failed to bring up the money and the taxpayers have refused to pay to make a whole new stadium. But there seems to be more a positive response to the Marlins taking the spot. Except of course from the Orange Bowl fans. I always felt the stadium to be a bit cramped and the traffic is murder when there is a game. I think it is too small of an area to have the Marlins there. In the area where the Dolphin Stadium, there is plenty of space for heavy traffic and mad drivers but, where the Orange Bowl is... it is a heavy residential and metropolitan area. The main avenue next to it is 17 avenue and the bridge is under repairs that may not be done in a year, of course this whole stadium thing may take a couple of years but still... I don't think it bodes well.
