Work is now underway that will transform the site of the former Orange Bowl into a ballpark for the Miami Marlins. The new ballpark will support thousands of employment opportunities -- jobs tied directly to construction and, once complete, long-term jobs associated with a sports venue. The most powerful outcome of a 37,000-seat ballpark may well be on the streets of Little Havana where the shops and other business interests will see new life.
