Why is a free stadium not viable?

Owner of the old Miami Arena, Glenn Straub is offering to build a privately funded ballpark downtown but local politicians like Mayor Manny Diaz say this is not viable. He says the infrastructure is not there.

Say what? Upgrading the infrastructure will be a hell of a lot cheaper than handing millions of dollars to the Marlins owners. The downtown arena site will also eliminate the need to pay $94 million for a parking garage.

Why is Mayor Diaz against this?


Major League Baseball says there is not enough time for this switch. I find this to be a bunch of bull.
