It seems that the Marlins have plenty of fans when they are the visiting team. Am I the only one that notice this?

 

Well, at least some people appreciate the team outside of South Florida. :unsure : :whistle

Marlins have fans in South Florida. Most of them live there, the problem is alot cannot afford to pay $10 parking every day to go to the game, or cannot make the 7:05 starts iwthout rushing home through rush hour and not being able to eat.

 

I think a 7:15 or 7:20 start would get more people out to the ballpark on weeknights. Saturdays should stay at 6 pm, and Sundays should move to 4:30 PM, the sun is lower and it is cooler at that time.

We defintley need to change the times.

Sundays at 1:30 are hell, and 7 is too early for a lotta people to get there.

weren't the starts 7:35 last year? i liked that better.

 

and I'd imagine most parks charge about the same for parking....

 

I agree, definately got to move the Sunday starts later in the afternoon.

Always have been 7:05 pm starts. since 1993 if i remember correctly.

I go to the games everytime the Fish come to Albuquerque, oh wait, I mean Phoenix.

The reason the Marlins no longer have the 4:00 starts on Sundays is because that is precisely the time when most afternoon thunderstorms pop up during the summer.

I live in New jersey and go to at least 2 marlins vs. phillies games a year. I'm going next week.

Would you rather go in the rain, or at 105 heat index?

I would rather go at 1:35 too, but no one else seems to want to.

Maybe that dude was talking about Marlins' games in Philly.

I don't think they would draw better if weekday games started at 7:35 PM instead of 7:05. Most of the fans don't show up until 2nd or 3rd inning anyway, which usually ends up being close to 7:35.

 

I like the changes the team made to the start times this season, especially the 7:35 Friday starts, and the 6:05 PM Saturday starts.

7:05 starts are stupid. Makes absolutely no sense at all to push up weekday start times even closer to when most people get out of work.

 

I make it to about 15 games a year, but not a single one this year was a weekday 7:05, as I live and work in Boca. Can't make it down there without rushing missing the 1st half inning or so.
