He mentioned a Main Street, large retail areas, a movie theatre, and a hotel.<br /> The Marlins, city, and county are now talking about the details of the deal.<br /> The funding gap has been reduced dramatically. He hinted the city would implement a Ballpark Tax District.<br /> Lastly the Marlins would retain "Florida" because of the marketing and business aspects.</p><p>Maybe it's just wishfull thinking but after all this losing (and I do think this team will be very good sooner or later) I'm looking for anything positive.</p>
