Negotiations over a new lease for Harbour Park have stalled over a retractable roof the Mariners say they need to stay competitive and the city says it cannot afford.

“We want the Mariners here for the next 30 years. We also have a seawall to rebuild,” said deputy mayor Carlos Vega. The team said it remains committed to Port Avalon.
