The Florida legislature adjourned late Friday night without voting on funding to complete financing for a new $367 million ballpark project the Florida Marlins hope to open in Miami by 2007.

The defending World Series champions had set a deadline of Saturday to complete the package for the 38,000-seat ballpark with a retractable roof near the Orange Bowl, which is less than 2 miles west of downtown Miami.

The legislature's decision came one day after the Marlins reached agreements with the City of Miami and Miami-Dade County for a possible $180 million in funding for the project, which includes a 2,500-space parking garage.

Marlins president David Samson said the team would talk to officials from the city and county about "all possibilities remaining" that would let them open the ballpark at the start of the 2007 season.
