Joe Robbie built that place with his OWN money and he wasn’t one/tenth as wealthy as Ross.

@MULTIPLEMIGGS- dude- really? you got some nerve to get on here and talk stupid crap like that.your team has pretty bad track record overall and the only superbowl they ever played in was before the merger and the more current issues this disfunctional team is facing is going to set you guys back atleast a few more years. you guys will be lucky if you can beat your way out of a wet paper bag let alone trying to beat an nfl team.oh wait, i could be wrong! because i just remembered you guys still have sanchez and we all know how valuable he is. your exellent front office has givin him an extention a raise and everything else so you guys will be just fine, my bad

How about that. A guy like Ross wants to Socialize the losses and Privatize the profits.

He’s saying all the right things and its very refreshing. Here’s an idea though; the NFL wants the Super Bowl in Miami, why doesn’t the NFL throw some of the money their way?

The man is genuine in his effort to upgrade the stadium, shows a lot of class and loyalty to the community by ruling out relocation.

They should bulldoze that Stadium and build one closer to downtown. SunLife Stadium is in the middle of nowhere. Only Foxboro is less convenient for the fans.

Kudos to Mr. Ross. Pro sports needs more owners who know how to build momentum without threatening relocation. I’m looking at you Howard Schultz, Clay Bennett, and David Stern.

He’s talking out of both sides of his mouth. If he cared so much about the economy of South Florida, he’d pick up the bill himself. And is he really stupid enough to think Ireland knows how to fix the mess he created by letting him put the team into cap chaos for 2014? Is this about building a better team? No, this is about getting votes and making money off the backs of Floridians. Nothing else.

On behalf of their loyal and long-suffering fans, I’m glad Ross is prepared to put a lot of money into keeping the Dolphins in South Florida. But given that he’s willing to take a $17 million cap hit on on a wide receiver for 2014, I’m not too confident about his decisionmaking when it comes to the football budget.

They were going to be the L.A. Dolphins???

Oh I forgot! AEG messed up!!!

Now no team will be L.A. Anything!!!

Just thought of a HUGE trade we could pull off to move up in the draft: Trade our #1, the higher #2 and Davone Bess to the Raiders for the #4 pick and we take Dee Millner…They get a solid slot receiver FROM Oakland, and we get the best CB in the draft and instantly improve the weakest area of our D

Did he apologize to South Florida for that?

The marlins used a hotel bed tax. Until the media can get this fact correct, they deserve no credit in getting things right. The Giants are more likely to leave New York than the phins are to leave to south Florida. Put some money into the stadium for yourself Steven and you will find phins fans show up in droves if they have a winning team

Dude you are one of the richest men in the world. You can afford to pay for it yourself. Not just a merely 51% of it. I wish I could just pay 51% of my home mortgage.

“We are the only stadium in the country I think, especially in the NFL, that doesn’t have one penny of public funds and the only stadium that pays full real estate taxes,”

Wrong, the Krafts funded Gillette Stadium fully on their own. The state did spend 50 million improving the roads around the stadium but no public money went into Gillette Stadium or Patriot Place around it.

If I understand correctly, the “taxpayers” that would be effected wold be those paying room taxes for hotel stays, not the residents of Florida (unless staying in a south Florida Hotel).

Yes, that would be you Mike, should you stay there for the Super Bowl (which would happen), but I’m sure you could afford it. Besides, you will write it off as a business expense anyhow.

As a Lifelong Phins fan, I can say I feel better about this team than I have since Marino’s days.

Young, talented QB.
Young, talented WR.
Young, talented Defense.
Solid free agent signings.
Early 1st round pick.
Coach doing better than expected.

Parcells looks like an idiot now.

If he’s really serious, he should put some money into his personnel first and concentrate on building a perennial playoff team. It’s much easier to worry about the finances when you are the best team in football and you open up the revenue stream floodgates. This team is going to be battling drama and negativity forever until they can get a responsible mngmt group in place that can run the team in a serious and professional way. The current roster design and quality of play is just awful. I’m a Michigan man and I expect HIGH quality from the guy who has his name on the Business School that I attended.

C’mon Mr. Ross, clean up the organization and bring in some good respectable football people that know what they are doing!!
