San Antonio's Talking (Except About Money)

"Marlins president David Samson said the team and San Antonio officials are speaking three or four times a week.

"However, San Antonio hasn't presented a stadium financing plan to the Marlins.

"Mayor Phil Hardberger did not respond to a request for comment.

'''Talks are serious, but until financial plans are discussed, it's preliminary,' said Samson, who toured San Antonio on Dec. 6...

"The Marlins' discussions about building a stadium in Hialeah have not progressed, Samson said.

"Even with a contribution by the team and Miami-Dade County, the Marlins need free land and an additional $100 million or so toward construction costs." (MiamiHerald)
