April 19, 200719 yr Question on the concerts. . . 1) Is the concert before or after the game? (if before? what time does it starts?, if after, how many minutes after the game to start?) 2) From where does the bands play? Baseball field? Home plate? 3) What are the best seat locations to see the concert? Thanks!
April 19, 200719 yr only one i can answer there is that the concert is post-game if im not mistaken and after the concert is a fireworks show
April 19, 200719 yr From some pictures I saw It looked like the concert was in the Left center field area.
April 19, 200719 yr The concert is after the game. Fireworks come after the show. The stage is set up right behind the infield. The best seats are anywhere facing the stage, honestly. They put the stage kind of far, which kind of sucks. But I guess it's because they don't want to mess with the infield? I have a question too. I saw some pictures of the Idol contestants giving autographs. I saw the autograph table, but I thought it was for players and they give you an autograph pass like they did a couple of years ago. For these autographs, do you have to get a pass to get in line or do you just randomly get in the line?
April 19, 200719 yr I believe this weekend is Cheap Trick, and I can't make it. I'll be able to see Kansas though, so that's pretty cool. BTW, this post game concert thing is the best idea ever, especially when they get names like Cheap Trick and Kansas.

Im assuming you meant, "how do you NOT like Cheap Trick". And the answer is, I love Surrender but thats about it. Im not hating on them. Enjoy the show!
April 19, 200719 yr I am not too familiar with Cheap Trick, but I do know some songs. You can thank Guitar Hero for introducing me to "Surrender", though. I am not going to see Kansas. I have the Christina Aguilera concert that night.
April 20, 200719 yr i was at first super saturday we left at 11:45pm game end round 9:30 so long concerts. put their have five america idio so maybe shorter concerts on sat depend how many song their going play

For these autographs, do you have to get a pass to get in line or do you just randomly get in the line? I have an answer to your question. The autographs are pre game. Down where all the festivities are. I didn't notice any passes being issued, just a long line for the Idol people, and people just walking up to the line and getting into it. I hope that answers your question. Last time they also had Shannon Briggs signing autographs. Real nice guy. And he stayed there alot longer than he was scheduled to. Got to chat a bit with him and got my pic taken next to that big fist in my face. LOL I believe this week they will have another boxer there as well. I'm not an Idol fan by any stretch of the imagination so we left before the concert and fireworks that night. But we will be staying for Cheap Trick, Kansas, and Joan Jett. We are just going to pick and choose which concerts we stay for. After all, you pay for the game, everything else is, well, free. But I would highly reccomend going very early and enjoying the pre game stuff every Saturday. I'm with Chewbacca on this one. This is a great idea. A real family oriented event. How anyone could complain about getting something for free just because they don't like the bands is beyond me. I would say to their face, get there for the National Anthem, leave after the last out, shut the heck up, and stop being such a Steinbrenner(replace name with body part of your choice). And yes. They don't want to mess up the infield.

The marlins are making the concert and fireworks a big part of the saturday games, therefore people (including myself) are going to expect a decent band. If they didnt make such a big deal out of it, then who cares if they have Joan Jett playing after a game. Yes its great that its free, I would probably check out Kansas, but if they are going to make the bands a big part of the event then they should get better bands.

These bands were huge on the 80s and early 90s. Most of the people with young kids, love music from that era. So I would say, there is good demand for these event, especially at the price. I think the bands are fine. You won't see better or more conteporary bands, because those would cost too much.

Name me one big name, current top 10 band that would even consider playing a concert on a make-shift stage 20 minutes after a MLB game. No guaranteed start time. No guaranteed share of the gate. Heck, make that a top 50 band. When they announced this plan I fully expected to see "state fair" quality bands performing, and that is what we are getting. I think the org should be congratulated for the quality of the bands they ARE getting. And saluted for the attempt of providing a family oriented atmosphere with innovative ideas. Furthermore, if you don't live here and/or you don't actually go to the games anyway, you have absolutely no right in being in this discussion. I doubt very much if the post game activities are broadcasted. I don't know that for sure because I am either there or driving home from there. We didn't stay for the Idols concert. We aren't into that kind of thing. I know we won't be staying for alot of the other concerts, simply because they don't interest us. But are we stomping our feet, banging our heads on the floor, and complaining about them? Nope. Because we paid for a baseball game and are overjoyed that we are able to watch a MLB caliber team that is competitive entertain us. Anything else is just icing on the cake. I've told friends that are non baseball fans about Super Saturdays and guess what they said. "What a great idea. I'll have to check a game out."
April 21, 200719 yr Should have left saturday night at 605. What if-14 innings on a saturday, you would have 10 people left for the concert.
April 21, 200719 yr i'll be there, and im looking forward to seeing Cheap Trick. Have fun. It should be a fun game to go to tonight since there's no way the Marlins can lose 2 in a row to the Nationals (I hope) and then you could to hear Cheap Trick, too bad I just started finals and can't really get down to South Florida this weekend.

First of all just because I dont live in miami anymore doesnt mean I cant say anything. I've been to over 100 games the past 5-6 years which is more than a lot of people. Living in a city is not the only criteria for being a fan. The past few seasons the boston bruins had Godsmack, Dropkick murphy's and a few other bands. I know the celtics had some other bands, I just cant think of them of the top of my head. Last april Godsmack's cd was #1 on the billboards when it came out... The point I am making is that if the marlins are going to build up the whole saturday experience, then they should have better bands. I went to the sun-sentinels website a little while ago and right across the top it says Cheap Trick playing after marlins game. But of course I cant say anything because I am not driving to the game right?

I happen to like Cheap Trick and Kansas, so do a lot of other people I know. You might think that they need to get better bands but I think that the bands they have are just fine. But again, that is just my opinion.
April 22, 200719 yr Cheap Trick did bad, I just left early. I gave them 4 songs to make it up lmao, big mistake!
