He'll threaten to pull the plug on the franchise and then everybody will say "YES!" to the stadium. Like I said, dig up Dick.

Plusquellic`s recall fiasco is a sideshow compared to the shenanegans in Dade County. As for the new stadium, I am hoping for the best but expecting the worst. South Floridians do not support the Marlins, Dolphins, Panthers, or Heat, even the Canes. Miami is a poor sports town. The politics.......even poorer!

The difference being they'll have a new stadium which will naturally spike attendance simply because it's a new stadium. The Indians, on the other hand, don't have another honorable guy like the wonderful Dick Jacobs to again threaten he'll move the franchise straight out of town unless he gets himself a new stadium at the taxpayers' expense.
