When a city builds a $265 million arena for a basketball team and chases NASCAR around the table, promising to lavish millions more on the racing circuit, people notice. People like Florida Marlins owner Jeffrey Loria, who wants help building a $385 million baseball stadium. Miami-Dade can’t come up with the cash, so Loria is officially looking elsewhere. To places like Charlotte.
Here’s a little hint to Mr. Loria: Don’t bother. We’re tapped out. We’ve got crime, school, and traffic issues to solve.
Try Vegas, or better yet, Portland. Thanks.
