The Florida Marlins dreams of a new ballpark are again on hold as Miami city and Miami-Dade county officials have delayed a vote on the park. Officials have said the vote has been delayed in part due to the holidays and the presidential inauguration.

The Marlins have been playing in Dolphin Stadium since their inception in 1993, and have had dreams for at least a decade now of getting a new, baseball only ballpark. In the recent months the deal for a new ballpark seemed to have gained unstoppable momentum, especially after the major remaining lawsuits against the deal were shot down by judges.

Now, the Marlins must again wait for a vote on construction of their new ballpark. The Marlins’ new park is suppose to be built on the site of the now demolished Orange Bowl and is a part of a grand scheme to revitalize the area. Jeffrey Loria is not exactly one of baseballs better owners, running the team with extremely tight purse strings. Hopefully this will be the last delay this project sees, because the longer this process takes, the less faith Loria will have that his team will get its own stadium. Loria is not a man to be trusted and is not above moving the team elsewhere.
