February 6, 200521 yr As a Virginian, I wouldn't be offended if they changed the name to Miami.... I live in Virginia so any feeling of exclusion won't be amplified by such a change. I just like the "F" and I don't want to buy a new hat. :lol And Florida Marlins has such a good feeling when you say it.
February 6, 200521 yr I like the sound of Florida Marlins better, and I do live in Miami. The bottem line is that they will keep the marlins part (everyone says they are marlins fans not florida marlins fans) and if they get a new stadium it wont matter if its miami. Those broward and palm beach fans go to dolphins games and hear them play their stupid td song which keeps saying miami dolphins #1. And that hasnt stopped them from going to games
February 6, 200521 yr 80% of marlins fans come from broward and palm beach countys. it wold be so stpid to just rename the team the miami marlins. the new stadium so be built on the water in ft. lauderddale by the airport or port everglades. 678376[/snapback] 80% is a bit extreme.

February 6, 200521 yr I read somewhere that it was about 50% from broward and palm beach 678742[/snapback] Yea, I read that too! I think its somewhere between 50%-60% :thumbup

February 6, 200521 yr Miami Marlins It is catchier and plus we have Tampa Bay...so Florida Marlins is kind of strange....Miami Marlins like the Heat and Fins would just represent Miami
February 6, 200521 yr As long as they play in Florida and are called the Marlins I am fine. 678518[/snapback] Ditto!
February 7, 200521 yr If changing the name is a prerequisite to getting the stadium deal done, then I say, "Get the F out!"
February 7, 200521 yr If I were Loria, for $200 million, I'd change their name to the Retard Marlins, much less the Miami Marlins.
February 7, 200521 yr how about Florida Marlins of Miami? 677476[/snapback] :notworthy :lolup :lolup :lolup :lolup :w00t wat was that new angels name, the los angelous angels of anaheim. lol too funny
February 7, 200521 yr Everyone says that the Florida sounds better, but that's because we've been saying it like that since 1993. I'm sure they said the same thing when the A's moved to KC. You just aren't used to it.
