We've all seen the renderings of what a renovated Sun Life Stadium will look like. Here's a short video that kind of gives a feel for what the atmosphere might be like inside the new digs (if the stadium bill ever gets out of the Fla Legislature):

This needs to happen. This would be the best thing that has happened to our program in a while. Besides Albert of course

Doesn't even look like the seats have been moved closer. It'll be nicer, but this isn't going to help the crowd noise/home field advantage problem much.
 
Thanks for posting the video.

Getting the seats closer to the action is the main benefit of these renovations, I think. That's really the heart of the stadium's problem, isn't it? Sun Life needs...life...and the current distance between the fans and the actions hinders that.

The rest is just icing on an already-very good looking cake.

Functional renovations, that's the ticket here.

What??? I can't hear you because the retractable roof on Sun Life Stadium traps all the noise in & yes the seats are closer to the field.
Just saying!

Hate the cover over the stadium. I like to look up and see sky. Since we started playing there in 2008, I remember 1 rainy game, in 2008 against FSU. Imagine if they put a cover over the Orange Bowl...blasphemy. This is South Florida not Minnesota.

You compared Sunlife to the OB and accused who of blasphemy?
 
The seats will be brought in closer as per all the reports, it is not a retractable roof but a canopy, so it will still have the open air field. The canopy will actually provide shade and protection from the rain, for fans in attendance. The economic impact for South Florida is unquestionable as this will get us more than one Super Bowl and at least one National Title game. The public is not paying for it, tourists are, and the Dolphins are paying back 75% of the total costs, it's a no brainer, and it should improve the experience from a fans standpoint. From what I was told, it should get passed.

If the voters were told that this I for soccer, they would never vote for it. Since the county does not own the stadium
Ross needs to pay for this himself.
 
Ugh, this video is like 4 or 5 years old. How are people just now seeing this for the first time?

No chance this thing gets done. The Marlins ballpark was such a failure, no one is going to vote to spend more dollars on another ballpark. Ross will need to pony up the cash himself.

He is paying 75% of it himself, you are aware of that? Also it is not for soccer, it is for all events that will come to South Florida. Events that have an economic impact that more than covers the initial investment, that is not paid by the community but through tourist dollars. Fact, this will guarantee us getting Super Bowls, fact this will get us a Football national title game, fact they are working and have guaranteed a huge soccer tournament with premiere teams from around the world to come here. Fact the economic impact of all these events are huge, just a Super Bowl covers the cost of what the city and state would invest. Oh and again fact, the Dolphins have guaranteed 75% of the cost by putting up 51% of the costs and paying back another 25%. So again how do these facts not make sense, to the point that we should vote against the measure?
