Sun Life Stadium Renovations Canceled

The Miami Dolphins likely lost their shot at hosting Super Bowl L when Florida lawmakers opted not to approve a deal that would publicly fund improvements to aging Sun Life Stadium.
Could the consequences be even greater?
Dolphins CEO Mike Dee said Sunday on Miami's CBS affiliate that the team will not provide any upgrades to Sun Life Stadium without the help of public funding. The Dolphins have canceled all renovation plans and say stadium improvements cannot be made without public-private partnership. Dee left the door open that the stadium issue could lead to the Dolphins' eventual exit from southern Florida.

I hope more voters/representatives make teams pay for their own stuff.
Call their bluff and see where Miami can realistically go that isn't LA.

Why should public funds be spent on private organizations especially when the public has no interest in fully supporting said private organizations...see new Marlins stadium.

The only reason the "threat" to leave pisses me off is because this ownership now proves that it cares more about hosting Super Bowls than getting to them. It's an empty threat that's just being used as a scare tactic, but still, it makes it look like they want to pack up and leave just because they can't make money hosting the event, rather than getting the team to the event.

The stadium is fine. The parking and roads around the stadium are absolutely brutal.

After building the Heat 2 venues over the last 20 years, building that wasted stadium for the Marlins and with an already high tax rate, I am not surprised.
However with that being said, the Dolphins are super popular in FL and will eventually get what they want in either a renovated stadium or a new one.

The city got burned with the Marlins. Why would they fall for it again?

Good. That stadium is fine and in decent shape. Not like it's not superbowl worthy.
Plus I'd rather NOLA get the SB anyway.
