New Marlins Stadium To Open In 2012

Plans for a new ballpark for the Marlins are still on but have been pushed back another year.

According to Marlins president David Samson, the team's new home will open in 2012, rather than 2011 as hoped.

The delay is a result of a lawsuit brought on by South Florida auto dealer Norman Braman, who unsuccessfully challenged the public funding portion of the project.
