Does anyone know what Loria has planned for the special attraction behind the center field wall? Someone has posted before that it was going to be a mechanical marlins that will jump out of a tank each time the team hits a homerun, like the apple out of the hat at Shea stadium.

I was hoping for something a little more original.

 

I pumped up about the new digs and can't wait to get season tickets.

I believe it's going to be a mechanical Marlin that jumps out of a real fish tank or aquarium. Obviously it won't go through water, there will be a hole that is barely visable in the middle that the marlin would be located in.

 

There was also a beach and pool area located to the left of the centerfield marlin and tank...

The Marlins jumping out is already announced, as well as the beach. This "thing" that Loria is planning is a complete secret...as in, it hasn't even been rumoured yet

I wonder if our insider, squall, has any idea.

Dammit, I want a REAL marlin that is trained to recognize only home team home runs to jump out of a real fish tank.

haha!!!! If only that could happen, it'd be sick.

How about an area where fans can throw beer soaked Mets gear at Minervini? Of course that would mean he is still here, but I have lived with that so far.

Maybe it will be a barber shop since the players are now forced to keep short and tidy hair.......

Cameron Maybin in center is enough for me.

I think the Marlin jumping out the tank in center is a great idea- a la the buccaneers cannon ball celebration in the New Sombrero after touchdowns. Florida is truly spearheading the art of in-game celebratory theatrics :thumbup

Being that I'm a pretty big Buc fan, I may be a bit biased, but the pirate ship is my favorite feature from any sports venue. Although the new Lucas Oil Stadium here is amazing to see - it's huge.

The special feature will be a giant sweater vest.

I'd have to agree. I'm an Eagles fan, and even when you guys beat us in the NFC Championship a few years back, I still remember saying "That Pirate Ship won them the game" :banghead .........well maybe Barber picking off McNabb twice (1 td) had something to do with it :mis2

A giant statue of David Samson is only 6 feet tall though.

^ hee hee

I was just wondering. Someone mentioned that one aspect was previously confirmed. I think it was the mechanical Marlin. What was it confirmed?!

lmao i was about to post an idea like this and it has been tohught of alread =(, still cnt wait 2 see it in action

They could just have a big splash with a mechanical tail of a marlin or something.

How 'bout a dunk tank with Wayne Heizenga in the seat. Every time the Marlins hit a HR, he gets dunked.Yeah, I know. I would actually have to be an effigy. But for special occasions... :evil

Maybe it'll be a slide for Billy like they have in Milwaukee except it'll be a water slide.
