Officials to vote on Marlins' new park (AP) (sports.yahoo.com)

South Florida politicians are set to vote on a new stadium in downtown Miami for the Florida Marlins. City and county commissioners will cast their final votes Friday on a proposal for a retractable-roof ballpark in Miami's Little Havana neighborhood. It's the final hurdle before groundbreaking can begin on the facility, which is projected to open in 2012 if the measure passes.
