off topic, but we are speculating here now. I was on CCSLC reading and they were talking about MLB09 changes. Well one of the things they noticed was Florida Marlins do not have an authentic hat on newera or mlb.com. They have the all-star cap but not the game cap. Maybe a cap change?

 

They are eventually changing their name to the "Miami Marlins." Perhaps that's what the M is for? It could easily go on a cap, but will it happen this season?

very nice... is the Orange any hint at the future colors for the marlins? It has been very prominent in both the website editions. Or maybe the ballpark will have a little orange flair in memory of Orange Bowl?

 

I thought of that the second I saw it. Hopefully not, though.

I hope not also. It just doesn't work with the mascot. it is so engrained in Teal, Black, Blues, Grays etc... that I think Orange would be stupid.

 

If they do do something with the Orange hopefully the sponsor does something cool like : Bacardi Park at the Orange Bowl or something along those lines.

 

 

You forgot having a half empty bottle as their pic.

 

But I do find it funny that one of the FAQs is, "Where do they play now?"

Yeah. Sometimes I wonder if they even know what FAQ stands for. How the F is that a frequently asked question?

 

Where's your sense of humor?? It dosen't appear many South Florida residents know where we play.

I've always thought (just being playful) making a deal with the orange juice growers association of Florida/whoever to rename it the "Orange Bowl" would be a real stick it up your butt to Wayne Huizenga thing.

 

Go bid on bringing the post-season game back to downtown Miami would be fabulous (would not interfere with baseball season at all) and would be terrific for the city at Wayne's expense, but since he's selling it's kind of lost its luster for me.

everyone keeps saying that. Unless he sells the team in the next week, he will be retroactive on the "Tax-hikes", I know he will be out sooner rather than later, but I do not think he is gone this year. Especially with a rebounded Dolphins, the NC/Orange Bowl (this year), and Super Bowl next year.

Besides the renderings, I'm much, much more interested in seeing:

1. A completed construction agreement

2. Financing being able to be secured....times have changed. Financing from all the parties involved are likely effected by the ongoing strong recession and credit crisis.

To me, renderings are like the MonaLisa. Just a pretty picture. They mean nothing without #1 and #2.

Although not a bad thought, the new pond is too small for any bowl game. But I sure will be there for the ASG, just like I was going to be in 2000.
