Miami Dolphins owner Stephen Ross said Wednesday that he remains committed to winning public dollars for the team’s proposed stadium renovations, and would not rule out a return to Tallahassee in 2014.

“Have I given up? The answer is no,” Ross said, speaking to reporters during his first major news conference since last spring’s legislative defeat.

The Senate had already passed its version of the bill, the Dolphins claim they had assurances from Weatherford the bill would see a vote.

“I was very disappointed that we lost that,” Ross said.
