Talalay: Marlins stadium? The public’s view
Long-time Miami public relations firm Everett Clay Associates is looking for the public's opinion on a few choice questions (who will be the next president, how long Castro will remain in power) this fall.
The company has produced its 42nd annual Fall/Winter Sports Calendar, a pocket-sized foldout calendar that includes the September through Super Bowl schedules of South Florida’s pro teams, the state’s college teams, college bowl games and annual events, such as Ford Championship Weekend at Homestead-Miami Speedway. Along with the calendar, the company has included a four-question survey with the first question being:
“Should a new baseball stadium be built at the Orange Bowl or in Downtown Miami?”
The choices are: Orange Bowl; Downtown Miami; and no stadium should be built.
So, far the no stadium option is leading, according to Amy Baena, an account executive at the firm. Otherwise, the Orange Bowl and downtown are evenly split and among the 50 or so postcards that have been returned, survey takers have added their own comments such as “No stadium should be built with taxpayers’ money,” or “Save the Orange Bowl,” Baena said.
Everett Clay staffers came up with the ideas for the questions, Baena said, just to get a feel for the pulse of the community. The company sent out a similar survey, which also included a question about Castro, a decade ago, Baena said. The survey can also be taken online here. The results will be sent out Nov. 1.

They should use the money they saved from fixing up the OB and use it to build a dual stadium on the OB site. A baseball stadium with a retractable roof and a soccer stadium to attract an MLS team. I think the location is perfect in the sense that they are close to the demographic they are tryig to sell tickets to.
