Hialeah Marlins?

With all the Cuba-related news going on the past few days, I neglected to post on something that came out last week - the Florida Marlins, you know, that poor team who's looking for a new stadium (home) will stay home to meet with Hialeah officials about building a stadium in the "Cuidad Que Progresa".

The Marlins have already visited San Antonio and Portland, Oregon, and are due to visit Charlotte and New Jersey in the coming weeks. Recent talks with Dolphins owner Wayne Huizenga regarding a facility next to Dolphins Stadium has stalled, according to the article.

I like the possibility of Hialeah as a site for a new stadium. Accessibility to highways, ease for all of South Florida to get to the stadium, favorable demographics in the city of Hialeah and nearby communities, etc.

Good luck to Hialeah. Based on the Marlins' track record with stadium negotiations, they'll need all the luck they can get their hands on.
