But, my point is that the Heat have 3 "superstars" and still were having issues with selling tickets.

Regarding the Dolphins, I could have sworn that there were a lot of empty seats this year

ozzie will get second licks after zambrano. i think zambrano is going to resurrect his career, i think hanley will play well or get a beating from zanbrano/ozzie, i think they finish 2nd or 3rd and have a WS shot, especially if jose stays healthy and plays like he did last yr. he is a good guy and i hope he plays well. a few yrs ago i was thinking how cool it would be to have wright and reyes both get 3000 hits as mets. now, i expect wright to be traded. so it goes.

>> Trip over his own feet 20 feet away from the base LOL

LOL. He may trip over his on feet leaving the batter's box. LOL

>> Well that is true there is sooooo much to do in Miami and by being in Little cuba it could very well make going to the park even less attractive to a certian population, Now will there be enough of an interest in the fish to not only sell out but also sell the high ticked corporate boxes.

It will be less atttractive to some. I don't think it will be any less attractive for some than getting to the old stadium was. For the number who may not go, they will more than make up for that where the stadium is. I think they will do well with the corporate boxes. The buyers may not be a legitimate corporation, but money is money and who cares where it comes from. I think they will do well. They put the stadium in the right place.

And the Dolphins play 8 home games, Not 81 so they have to sell what 400,000 tickets not 3,200,000 tickets

OMG That woule be so funny.

Lets see how ticket sales go.

Your point is taken. Florida fans don't set any attendance records evn the rays that have been playoff team have empty seats. My point however is that with the new stadium, their will be a large spike in attendance.

>> OMG That woule be so funny.

It would be a scream.

>> Lets see how ticket sales go.

It won't be long before we find out. I do think they will draw better than they did in the old stadium. That wouldn't be hard to do though.

True true.

""My point however is that with the new stadium, their will be a large spike in attendance."
For how long? 1 season? first half of the season? First month? Or until the first losing streak? With Loria's track record once the money is not rolling in that team will be broken up faster than you can build an IKea wall unit.lol "

Well my guess would be longer then a month, the 1st year will be a huge jump over previous years attendence. The team will be improved and the stadium will be better place to see a game during the summer months with the roof closed. Time will tell and if I am wrong , I am sure that you would remind me of it...lol

"Well my guess would be longer then a month, the 1st year will be a huge jump over previous years attendence. "

If 6 families show up that would hold true.lol"

Ok well here was last years attendence:

Florida

80 games

1,520,562

19,007 avg

So I would guess it will increase by at least 1 million

>> True true.

That's the funny thing about money.

Well I guess we will see how this plays out. I do know the franchise has had firesales in the past, but usually they come after they won the world series and are selling the franchise...lol

Aint it so:>)

>> Aint it so:>)

I think the only people who where the money comes from is the government, and they take enough of it. :>)
