It was scheduled for the official construction company for the Florida Marlins new stadium to open up their application on Wednesday morning. After a line of prospective workers looking for jobs camped out at the empty lot where the Orange Bowl used to stand, that process was expedited.

The prospect of a new stadium brings the promise of new jobs - something that is at a premium in today's economy. The stadium is set to be erected for the 2012 season, which gives workers a steady job for at least three years.

The Marlins have made an effort to show some transparency in the building process and have built cameras that oversee the new stadium grounds...

Another team that benifits from the new stadium will be the Dolphins. Soon they wont have to play football on the clay. I hate to even watch it, much less have to be hit by Ray Lewis and hammered into it. Thats gotta suck.

@The Mighty "B" Great point. Remember all those missed kicks that the Fins (and sometimes the opposing team) were missed or nearly missed due to the baseball field? Now the Dolphins can have a real field that is unscathed by the remainders of the baseball season. Besides, who wants to be in the same category as the Oakland Raiders in "teams that share their field with a baseball team." Poor raiders, their problem isn't the field, it's those who play on it.
