Florida law would turn its publicly funded ballparks and stadiums into homeless shelters
By 'Duk | Big League Stew Wed, Jan 25, 2012 10:14 AM EST
Could the new Marlins ballpark or the Tampa Bay Rays' Tropicana Field serve as a homeless shelter for the 270 or so nights a year that they're not used for baseball?
If two Florida lawmakers have their way, they might. As reported by the Miami Herald, state legislators have unearthed an obscure law that has not been enforced since it was adopted in 1988. It states that any ballpark or stadium that receives taxpayer money shall serve as a homeless shelter on the dates that it is not in use.

why not let homeless use them? is this obvious discrimination?
Hey Stacie,
I see two major issues with this proposal:
1. Do the homeless have a quality pitching staff? And,
2. Will they be paid in parity with the Miami Marlins players?
Yes, why not a homeless world Series, at least.. They a homeless football World Cup,
This points out the obvious flaw with government spending.
But liberals will say "what a great idea".
In Canada we are not allow tent cities or even allow to put a piece of plastic over a person body. We live in one of the wettest and coldest countries in the world and no where here, is like Miami
