March 28, 200323 yr The first pitch of the season is just 3 days away. Can you believe it? If youre going to Opening Day, be sure to get there early to get through all of the security and to see all off the Opening Day Festivities: Everyone will recieve a hot dog (no, they will not run out) and a 2003 schedule magnet. Two special guests to throw out ceremonial first pitches: Charlie Hough, who threw the first pitch in Marlins history and John Lynch of the SB Champs Tampa Bay Buccaneers, whom threw the first pitch in Marlins organizational history for the Erie Sailors in 1992. The Marlins will unveil two new logos on the outfield wall, one honoring the crew of the Space Shuttle Columbia and the other supporting our troops. In terms of weather, Monday should be the coolest day in a long time down here. The high temperature is expected to be around 74 degrees under partly cloudy skies. I cant wait for this thing to start!
March 28, 200323 yr Speaking of Opening Day and the fact that I wasn't going to start another thread on the same topic.... Who's going? Where will you be sitting?
March 28, 200323 yr I cant wait! I am off that whole week of opening day! I am sure going and i hope they dont run out of hot dogs again...
March 28, 200323 yr I will be there with 2 friends but I can't remember what section.... down the 1st base side somewhere. Tickets were selling pretty well Wednesday when we bought them at the stadium. Hopefully they'll get a great turnout.
March 29, 200323 yr I'll be at the Vet for either the Tuesday or Wed. game that they are in Philly for in Mid-April..not sure which one yet..
March 29, 200323 yr Opening Day is just 2 days away and i bought my tickets today!!! im in section 441 row 4
March 29, 200323 yr Well I won't be there in opening day but I'll go between April 4 - 7... :mischief
March 29, 200323 yr I'll be at the Vet for either the Tuesday or Wed. game that they are in Philly for in Mid-April..not sure which one yet.. As of now, I'll be there thursday. After getting my first look at The Phils today, I'm looking foward to this season. Too bad comcast isn't covering Monday's game, so hopefully, Espn is.
March 29, 200323 yr Author The Marlins have sold about 30,000 tickets to Opening Day. Last year, about 23,000 came to the home opener.
March 30, 200323 yr They (Marlins) are expecting a big walkup crowd especially since students and teachers in Miami-Dade are on Spring Break.

I just bought my tickets online on friday, and I couldn't believe they were the best available left! How many people are suppost to be there, crowd wise. I've heard around 30,000...

March 30, 200323 yr read my original column for a good read on Opening Day. http://www.marlinbaseball.com/rabel.htm *End advertisement*
March 30, 200323 yr Author Actually, its going to be quite cool for our standards, almost January-like weather. High temperature should be in the upper 60's and it will be windy. At 4:00, temp should be 68, falling to 62 by 7:00. Humidity very low around 40% and chilly winds from the North at 15-20 mph.
March 30, 200323 yr Author I'm sitting in section 457, row 5. You might want to check your tickets agains or make sure they're real, because PPS doesnt have a section 457. It goes from 401 to 456.
March 30, 200323 yr I'm going but I was too lazy to buy tickets in advance.I'm stuck with whichever seat are available.

I don't have my tickets yet, I gotta go to the window on opening day and pick them up... And I'm in section 447, not 57.
March 30, 200323 yr front office must be happy when they hear 30,000 walk up crowd. not only front office but Marlins players and fan too!
