RossInfoMan Posted March 28, 2003 Share Posted March 28, 2003 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! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hotcorner Posted March 28, 2003 Share Posted March 28, 2003 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rune Posted March 29, 2003 Share Posted March 29, 2003 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.

RossInfoMan Posted March 29, 2003 Author Share Posted March 29, 2003 The Marlins have sold about 30,000 tickets to Opening Day. Last year, about 23,000 came to the home opener. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1truefan Posted March 30, 2003 Share Posted March 30, 2003 They (Marlins) are expecting a big walkup crowd especially since students and teachers in Miami-Dade are on Spring Break. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RossInfoMan Posted March 30, 2003 Author Share Posted March 30, 2003 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.

RossInfoMan Posted March 30, 2003 Author Share Posted March 30, 2003 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.
