MIAMI -- The Miami Dolphins have a deal in place to renovate their stadium and will begin work this summer on the $350 million project, which will help South
Floridas chances of hosting future Super Bowls.
Marcelo Grohe Brazil Jersey . County commissioners gave final approval Tuesday to the plan, which will pay incentives
to the Dolphins for hosting the Super Bowl and other major events. In exchange,
team owner Steve Ross will pay for the renovations, with help from the NFL and
possibly from a state subsidy. Planned renovations include a canopy over the
stands but not the field, and upgrading the lights, sound system and seats, with
the goal to have work completed before the start of the 2016 season. NFL
Commissioner Roger Goodell made it clear South Florida wouldnt get another Super
Bowl without significant improvements to the stadium, which opened in 1987. Ross
has been lobbying for renovations since he became majority owner in 2009, and he
called the agreement with Miami-Dade County "unique and creative." "We have one
of the worlds most aspirational cities, and as such deserve a stadium that will
provide significant economic impact to Miami-Dade County," Ross said in a
statement. "This will not only secure the future of the Dolphins, but will
ensure that Miami has one of the worlds best venues to host events of this
magnitude going forward." South Florida and New Orleans are tied for the most
Super Bowls with 10. The most recent one in Miami was in 2010, and the Dolphins
intend to bid next spring for the next available Super Bowl, which will be
played in 2019. "That was part of the intent of trying to get it done,"
president and CEO Tom Garfinkel said. "We want to bring in as many marquee
events as we can as soon as we can." The county will use tourist development
money to pay the Dolphins $4 million for each Super Bowl at the stadium, $3
million for each college football national championship game and $2 million for
a college playoff game. The county also will pay for events such as soccer
matches and major concerts. "It shows the commitment that our owner, Steve Ross,
has to make this a world-class organization," Dolphins coach Joe Philbin said.
"Its exciting for everybody in the organization, and I think its exciting for
everybody in the South Florida region. Im sure well be able to attract some
great events. Its a big day for us." Ross is now eligible for NFL money given to
teams that secure government help in stadium deals. Hes also pursuing a new
state program that could bring as much as $3 million a year to the stadium
beyond the $2 million the state already pays. The team will continue to pay
property taxes on the stadium. The Dolphins delegation at the commission meeting
included Pro Football Hall of Famers Dan Marino and Larry Little, along with
former players Jason Taylor, Dick Anderson and Nat Moore. Marino played in the
first game at the stadium. "Im excited that its going to be around and get a new
look," he said. "Its great for the community." The deal with the county came
together after efforts by Ross to secure county and state tax money failed last
year. Without legislative approval of that proposal, the Dolphins were unable to
go forward with a planned referendum on the issue in Miami-Dade County.

program Friday night with a massive quadruple-triple jump combination that for a
moment seemed like a tantalizing preview of Sochi Olympic gold. Then the
three-time world champion inexplicably lost his focus. The 23-year-old from
Toronto won the mens short program at the Canadian figure skating championships
on Friday, but it was far from the flawless program he would have liked less
than a month out from the Sochi Olympics. "I just got ahead of myself, did the
great quad toe-triple toe and then my mind starts racing: Oh my God its going to
be a great program," Chan said. Chan scored 89.12 points, doubling both a
planned triple Axel and planned triple Lutz in what was an otherwise elegant
program to Rachmaninoffs "Elegy in E-Flat Minor." "I kind of lost my train of
thought, I didnt have anything in mind, I just kind of relaxed and thought it
was over, rather than staying really pinpoint on to technically what I have to
do to do the Axel successfully. And I didnt do that. Same with the Lutz," Chan
said. Liam Firus of North Vancouver, B.C., was second with 78.93, while Kevin
Reynolds of Coquitlam, B.C., scored 78.29 for third in his first competition of
the season. Chann has had his sights set on Sochi Olympic gold almost from the
day he finished fifth at the Vancouver Games.
Felipe Anderson Jersey. "That was the problem today, I was thinking This has to be a great program today for me to have a
great Olympics. And if I look back in the history books, Jamie (Sale) and David
(Pelletier) didnt have a great nationals before the Salt Lake City Games (where
they won gold), so ... "Its just the last piece of the puzzle I need to fit in
and get everything working smoothly." Chan was easily the frontrunner for
Olympic gold early in the season when he shattered the world records for the
short program, long program, and overall score. But he faltered at the Grand
Prix Final with a similarly shaky short program to Friday nights, and had to
settle for silver behind Japan teenager Yuzuru Hanyu. The Canadian admitted it
took a while to shake off the disappointment. "I had a rocky Grand Prix Final
and I think thats the source of this, losing my flow, my mojo I guess," Chan
said. "Final was really startling ... it was hard to go back home and have that
long of a time to think about that. Im glad I had nationals before Olympics to
work on that, and get myself out of that mindset."
