VGTimes reported on October 14 that Miami-Dade commissioners raised questions at their October 5 meeting about a deal letting Rockstar run a 'Welcome to Vice City' rooftop display at the Kaseya Center for seven months. The county accepted $975,000, just under the $1 million level that would have required a full commission vote. The mayor's office said the price reflects the sign's size, location and duration.
Commissioner Rene Garcia said Rockstar is spending at least $150 million on GTA 6 marketing and questioned why the county received under $1 million, though he did not say where that figure came from. Commissioner Oliver Gilbert delayed a vote that could have ended negotiations with Rockstar. For comparison, Miami approved six temporary banners for up to $1.2 million and Miami Beach approved beach advertising worth up to $4 million. The next meeting is October 20, and no Rockstar response was reported.
Why it matters: it shows how large Rockstar's Miami launch push is and puts public numbers on it, but it does not affect game editions, prices or stock, so the tracker is unchanged.
