    This is what happens when a bunch of stoned Musicians want to own part of an NFL team.

    That thing looks almost as gay as the team it houses

    Yea, now is the time to ask tapped out taxpayers for a few more dollars. This is football, not fucking badminton.

    This would cement the Dolphins as the gayest franchise in the NFL. Not that it was a close contest to begin with...

    NFW. No way they are putting that on a stadium in hurricane country. Hell, a bad thunderstorm could rip that thing off if the winds got high enough.

    That was my thought, too. That's wild.

    It is a nearly twenty-three year old stadium btw. So it does need some upgrades.

    Since when is a 23 year old building "old"? I've had cars older than that.

    They should hand out gumdrops and lollipops to the first 50,000 fans that attend their opener.

    What the hell would they do then with the 40,000 gumdrops and lollipops they had left over?

    The opposing team's fans could get them as long as they are playing either the Steelers, the Jets, or the Bills.

    I've been in that stadium for the first game of a season and it's extremely hot, and there's zero shade there. Something like this, even though it looks gay, would be a huge help. The problem I see with it, is that a hurricane could easily blow that thing off. It looks like a big sail.

    Will this thing be able to withstand a Cat 3 and over Hurricane?

    That's a serious consideration when you build anything down there. From the looks of it so far, I wouldn't count on it.

    They should upgrade the stadium into a gigantic Douche bottle.

    I didn't believe it until I saw this model for the umbrella they're planning to build:

    Do only gay people use umbrellas? Am I missing something here?

    Antoni, I was referring to the fact that all three of those teams represent themselves well for Dolphins home games. Those three teams could get you 40,000 in attendance @ Miami. BTW, I love Sesame Street.
