    The theory seems to be they pivoted last minute but I don't buy that. They have a long history of not caring what other people think and just plowing forward with their own ideas. Maybe they thought this was an awesome way to create some buzz, which it was not.

    Maybe I have a reading comprehension problem but I was sort of under the assumption they were going to unveil the new city connect uniforms on Saturday only to find out they just announced the first game they'd be wearing said uniform. Massive troll job on the fans. A Marlins specialty.

    Fair point. Maybe that should go into the decision making process. What’s a better deal for the company? A tacky logo or no logo? Not all companies are color dependent. Some are. Emirates Airlines have sponsorships all over Europe and they appear in a variety of colors. So they would have more options. also Motorola adopted the padres color scheme for their ad and it looks fine.

    At least the colors sort of match. Cincinnati has a blue Kroger patch. Seems like they should have sponsors agree to a color scheme that fits with the uniform

    Boca Raton based. Used to be a subsidiary of Tyco

    Whenever someone poses the “who do you think of…” question with the original Marlin logo my mind goes to Chuck Carr
  8. Front yard somewhere in the grid to the north of the stadium. Easy access to Dolphin and off you go

    According to Nostradamus post on Twitter back in 2019 the Fish are closing in on another title in five years
  10. Attendance is a frustrating topic. There are so many inputs that drive the figure. So to pin it down to one guy is a stretch.
  11. Here is the list of home games that Alcantara started. The first one is opening day, so I excluded that from the average seeing as that they could have started anyone for the home opener and drawn roughly the same number of fans that day. So on average he was worth an additional 700 fans per game. For 16 home starts that is 11,200 tickets for the season. That stretch of games in the summer did see a big uptick in attendance for his games. The drop off came August 3, a weekday when school was coming back into session. The two weekend starts after that point in the schedule showed bigger numbers like you'd expect.

    I also found that notable. Poor Wichita. They build that new stadium expecting AAA baseball and without hosting a single game they get bumped down.

    https://ballparkdigest.com/2020/11/02/details-of-mlb-takeover-of-milb-emerge/ Marlins look like big winners in all this if the details in here are accurate. AAA in Jax. AA in Pensacola plus all the Jupiter operations (Low A Spring Training and development league). The geography breaking Miami’s way for once

    Sorry if this was already discussed but what is the point of opening the outfield sliding doors? It’s 100 degrees outside, the turf is fake, and there’s no fans to “impress” with this feature.
