MarlinsMS_35 Posted April 14, 2008 Share Posted April 14, 2008 Hey, i was just looking around the internet, and I found these two pics. I've never seen them before. i can't tell if this is the old model, or a possible new one. They look nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trey05Marlins Posted April 14, 2008 Share Posted April 14, 2008 Wow, I haven't seen those either, but they looks similar to some old ones. Maybe someone just made these. The official renderings will be out in July, according to the team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David1 Posted April 14, 2008 Share Posted April 14, 2008 Seen these, this is the old model but this is what they are sticking too... Yeah, definitely the old one. But how do you know they are sticking to this? Or are you just speculating? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But how do you know they are sticking to this? Or are you just speculating? Speculating on the design, but as far as the material they said they are sticking with the glass type look Well, they also said it's going to be similar to Minute Maid Park in Houston, so I don't think it's going to look like that.

I'm sure you are talking about this statement: Samson added that the Marlins facility will more closely resemble Minute Maid Park in Houston than some of the other retractable-roofed stadiums, like the ones in Milwaukee and Arizona. When he stated that I think he meant in the context of the retractable-roof type, not how the stadium would look like. He said it would be more like Minute Maid instead of like Chase field or Miller Park. As you know, Minute Maid Park has more of an outdoor feel when the roof is open, where as both Chase Field and Miller Park have more of an enclosed feel even with the roof open. I think he just was trying to say the Marlins ballpark will have a feel of an open air ballpark like Minute Maid and unlike the enclosed feel like the one present in Miller Park and Chase Field.

bobk Posted April 16, 2008 Share Posted April 16, 2008 Is that the actual stadium, or a mall that they're planning to build next door? I dunno. You don't need walls in SoFla, just some rain/sun cover. The Rays got it right. This design seems pretty 1990's, to me, and will look really foolish in 10-15 years. Somewhere between retro and Star Wars, there must be a happy medium. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yandro Posted April 16, 2008 Share Posted April 16, 2008 I believe a few years ago this design surfaced because the Marlins wanted some sort of "hurricane proof" stadium and these renderings were part of those plans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Puma Posted April 16, 2008 Share Posted April 16, 2008 I noticed that the stadium picture Admin used in the "building the future" skin is the second picture posted on this thread. :mis2 I guess I'm pretty observant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David1 Posted April 16, 2008 Share Posted April 16, 2008 I believe a few years ago this design surfaced because the Marlins wanted some sort of "hurricane proof" stadium and these renderings were part of those plans. They did not design it that way because they wanted to make it "hurricane proof". They designed it that way because they wanted it to look that way, period. One can make any design style (whether retro, contemporary, etc) hurricane proof. Btw, this new upcoming design will also have to be "hurricane proof" to meet the county's stringent hurricane code.
