November 5, 200817 yr I love that it's still a pitcher's park! And, um... I just want it to be made!!!
November 5, 200817 yr Good Stuff we kept the Triangle of Doom I really can't wait to go to opening day to see this beautiful stadium to be. Anyone no if they found a name The name will go to the highest bidder. As it should. Nothing surprising with this news release. We already knew it was going to be a pitchers park. The team has already stated they are going back to speed, pitching, and defense. We are tweeking now for that and it will just carry over to the new pond.
November 5, 200817 yr IMPORTANT NOTICE For those of you saying, that it is not good that it is a pitchers park, you should know the following. Studies have proven that whatever classification a ballpark falls into (hitters or pitchers) that the teams that do better at the opposite thing will win more. Here's why. In a pitchers park, it is easier to be a good pitcher because the park is big. Thus, the team with the better hitters who can hit home runs and score runs, despite the big park will win. Think of this years Marlins. We play in a pitchers park, yet we had a lot of home runs and good offense because of the hitting. Now on the opposite scope is Philadelphia. They have a hitters park, and people say they are a great offensive team. Any team in that ballpark is a good offensive team. They won because their pitchers were better than the other teams at overcoming the small ballpark size. I hope this made sense and those of you that fear that our hitters and team will suffer realize that hopefully won't be the case.
November 5, 200817 yr Well we've won 2 rings in a pitcher's park. I'll gladly accept another one similar.

The leading candidate should be Bacardi Field at the Orange Bowl. Other stadiums similar names i.e. Miller Park, Coors Field, etc. You need a company that is willing to pay large sums of money for that advertising. Also they can have their signature drink a bacardi orange flavor. They have a local headquartes in Miami and it should be a good partnership. The way the banking industry is right now I doubt another Bank (like Citi Field - Mets) would be willing to shell out those dollars. I hope the legal issues are dealt with soon. Ownership has done a good job considering the competitive disadvantage it has compared to markets like NYC, Boston, Chicago. The fan base has continued to grow.

That name was tossed around on another thread. I wouldn't not like it. But I seriously doubt bidding or talks have even started. Waaaayyyyy too early. But it will be a good opportunity for alot of companies.

November 8, 200817 yr I was just messing around with the dimensions on Baseball Mogul (baseball simulation PC game) Of course, these are nothing more than numbers plastered onto CBP's fence, but it gives you an idea of what the dimensions will look like.

Some companies may have a problem being associated with a team that historically draws so poorly. It will be okay for the first couple years but then we will slip back to the same ole. same ole. Of course Bacardi could do a little symbolism and show a glass half full in their ads. I said in a previous thread that I think DHL should have an interest in naming rights (Slogan: Buck The Frown). They advertise heavily right now. There are a few other local international companies that may also enter the bidding. Whether or not they are a "Cuban company" shouldn't have any bearing on the final decision. $$$ and length of contract.
