Bacardi Park would be cool... though I just cant see the field landing an alcohol name haha.

 

Mississouke Seminole Field. Yes.

 

 

The Fish Bowl will easily be the nickname though.

 

 

Yea. No matter the name, I have a feeling it will always be known as the Fish Bowl.

I would also like to see the name be something cool. For a long time I have been a proponent of giving the naming rights to Bacardi. Their distribution HQ is located here in Miami, it's run by a Cuban family, liquor is such a Miami thing, and Bacardi is just a sick ass name. Maybe you can name the stadium Parque Bacardi. I know it's in Spanish but if you don't feel like saying "Par-kay" you could just say Park. Park Bacardi sounds pretty raw if you ask me.

 

I still fail to see why because it's run by a Cuban family should have anything to do with it. They are still going to have to pull in fans from the entire South Florida community and not rely on a Cuban population that has already shown can be as fickle as the rest of the population. Sounds like you just want everything to be Cuban theme based and that just isn't going to work. Not a great idea to alienate the majority of the population just because the place is built in a Cuban neighborhood. The place should reflect the fan base, very diverse and because of that, different than any other place in just about every way.

 

That said... I wouldn't be opposed to Bacardi Park. Their logo could be a half empty bottle.

 

I agree completely. Someone said they wanted to build Latino-themed shops or bars or whatever all around the stadium. That would alienate the hell out of a big fan like me, who speaks about as much spanish as my irish ancestors...

 

I completely embrace the culture in South Florida, but I can't be consumed by it entirely. That would be annoying.

 

I do understand where you are coming from. I do not want Marlins fans to be bombarded with "Latinness." Hell, as a Cuban American, if i hear salsa and spanish-speaking for the entire time im around the stadium I would lose my mind. I have enough of that in my life. Trust me, not even Latinos want a 100% Latino experience at the stadium. That would just be obnoxious... like my Cuban grandmother

 

There's going to be loads of Latino-themed things around the stadium. It's a Latino neighborhood. But at the stadium I would like to see it go multi-cultural to match our entire region. And tons of things to keep the little ones amuzed. I try to arrive early on Saturdays and Sundays just to kiddie watch.

Why not? We do already have Coors, Busch, and Miller.

Those beer-drinking Wisconsinites and their poor ethics!

It can be anything.

 

*Cheap seats

*Good food

 

I'll add more later.

Decent food and convenient affordable parking couldn't hurt, but the #1 thing that I want to see is my keister in a seat.

Baseball.

Wider seats and more space between the rows so the knees won't bump against the cup holders and the fans could remain seated while others go past you for a beer of hot dog run.

This is a good suggestion, and I think it will be slightly improved, but not too much. The wider and more space that is given will give the effect of the seats looking empty or not filled.

does anyone know when new renderings are coming out or a model of the stadium ? like of the interior and the outfield with lorias surprise and the animated marlin etc ?

 

 

 

the thing i would love to see at the new stadium is some type of memorial to the orange bowl like outside or in remembering the dolphins and hurricanes history at the site

 

 

also something alot more special than a cardboard sign of the 97 and 03 championship years maybe like some placks somewhere in the stadium with all names of the players for each team

that cardboard sign in left is a shame.

A banner for a 3rd world championship

 

4th

 

 

5th. Be bold, gentlemen. :mischief

I hope calling them cardboard is just an insult, as opposed to thinking that the big metal sign in LF is made of cardboard.

I see a lot of posts requesting all these franchise restaurants...and I don't agree with that. I have a Friday's in West Palm, hell when I go to school in Gainesville there's a friday's there, too. Do we really need all these chains clogging up more pores? Lets get some diversity in there! Let joe restaurant open up his dream slophouse next to the ballpark. Let the residents from the surrounding neighborhoods truck in their own food carts and such. Y'know what I mean?

Also, I don't want the entire complex to be fenced in. It should be natural, like how you can just walk by Yankee or Fenway. It's in a neighborhood so let people walk around it. Now, I know all the security problems..but I'm sure there are better ways to deal with them than fencing off the entire thing.

And a statue of Jeff Conine somewhere prominent.

If It's good, why complain?

I don't think I understand what you mean by your first comment, and i've been to Little Havana a few times.

You said you didn't want chains like Friday's clogging up the place, but Friday's is the sh*t. So why complain about having too much of a good thing?

conine bar and grill should open up there.

I dunno...I grew up in suburbia..I think one can only go there so many times. Agreed about the Conine bar and grill.

And what if someone took the whole "orange bowl remembered" ideas and just shoved all that memorabilia.history in a sports bar on the site? Who knows...maybe even a Friday's

no orange seats.

 

Ditto.

 

 

 

 

 

 

the seats are not going to be orange

the seats are not going to be orange

Thank heaven for that.

Yeah, someone asked that question at one of the town hall meetings at FanFest and Samson said as such.

I'd like to see a big pre-game ceremony on Opening Day 2012... Bring in a lot of former Marlins from each position to usher in the new era at the new stadium....I will feel old when this day hits...Considering it will be 20 years since the Expansion draft with Nigel Wilson and I was in college in Pennsylvania at the time already wearing teal Marlins shirts and people asking what are the Marlins?

Sonic!!!!

arbetters, or at least sell some Ball Park Franks. (I hate Nathans)

Miami Subs

You hate good hotdogs.

I prefer Sabretts myself. :mischief
