S. A.: Okay Samson, You Want a Stadium Plan - Here's Your Stadium Plan

"County Judge Nelson Wolff said the plan involves using public and private funding to raise the estimated $300 million it would take to build a Major League Baseball stadium." (DallasMorningNews)

WAIT A MINUTE: But they said it'll take $400+ million to build a stadium in South Florida....Oh, yeah, I almost forgot - down here, it's impossible not to have something always hanging over our heads....

"Unlike the climate of South Florida, where the Marlins maintain they need a retractable-roof stadium, Samson said the climate in San Antonio does not merit the need for a roof on the stadium." (MLB - this article from December 6 of last year has some pretty funny quotes in it , like "Samson said the relocation process will take three to five months.", and "Wayne is a businessman and a very good one at that. We've had very fruitful and enjoyable meetings and conversations with him. He understands that the team needs to be out of Dolphins Stadium very clearly. We're going to continue those talks.")
