Posted June 14, 200915 yr The Marlins said they will open up as many as 60,000 seats for games in next weekend's Yankees series (22,000 more than usual). Most of the lower bowl is sold out, and the cheapest seats (usually $12) are $25 (in advance) or $30 (game day). http://www.miamihera...ry/1096122.html I only started following baseball and the Marlins in 2006 so the biggest crowd I have seen is probably around 45,000 at Landshark/Dolphin Stadium. It would be a welcome sight to see a crowd in excess of 50,000 next weekend, and quite frankly, a strange sight.
June 14, 200915 yr I tried to get tickets for the Friday Yankee's game down here 2 months ago and they were already sold out, I wouldn't be surprised in the least to see 55,000 at the game, with 30,000 being new yorkers.
June 14, 200915 yr It'll be a playoff atmosphere, that's for sure. *cheap plug time* If you're looking to get tickets, there are plenty available at http://tickets.marlinsbaseball.com. Buy them via that link to help out the site. Thanks.
June 14, 200915 yr I'm expecting anywhere from 50-60k for the Friday and Saturday games. Probably around 30-40k for Sunday's game. Unfortunately the majority will probably be Yankee fans.
June 14, 200915 yr If any yanks fans talk crap just let remind them of 03. The Yankees are my second favorite team but I'll be rooting for the fish just as hard as I usually do.
June 14, 200915 yr I am really hoping that our fans are driven to get out there and show up for this series. It will sicken me to see all of those f***ing skankees fans there *vomit* the level of obnoxious will be sky-high.
June 14, 200915 yr I cant go b/c I live 5,000 miles sway, but If I lived 500 miles id go, so please, if you live 50 or even 5 miles away, please go to the games.
June 14, 200915 yr Why do I get the feeling that this is basically going to turn into a Yankees home series?
June 14, 200915 yr I'll be happy with 40,000 fans even if 35,000 are Yankee fans. I remember the 2003 WS Games where packed with kids even sitting in there parents laps to save a seat or two.
June 14, 200915 yr Why do I get the feeling that this is basically going to turn into a Yankees home series? It will be if the Marlins lose. If the Marlins win the Yankee fans will have nothing to cheer for.
June 14, 200915 yr Author I'm not sure if he is due to pitch but I would literally blow my load if Cody hit a homer off CC Sabathia lol
June 14, 200915 yr I'll be there Friday, and cheering for the Fish, but my friends that are going with me are Yankee fans, man if the Fish don't win it will be a really long night!
June 15, 200915 yr I'm not sure if he is due to pitch but I would literally blow my load if Cody hit a homer off CC Sabathia lol Marlins-Yankees probables: Friday: Andy Pettitte vs. Sean West; Saturday: AJ Burnett vs. Josh Johnson; Sunday: CC Sabathia vs. Chris Volstad Ross vs. current NYYankee pitchers: http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/players/bvsp?playerId=5404&teamId=10
June 15, 200915 yr Will be there for Sunday's game. I know it'll be a pro-yankee crowd but hopefully a series win will quiet them.
June 15, 200915 yr God, the parking is going to be horrendous. Since I won't be showing up 4 hours early, I will get stuck in one of the overflow lots and have to hike to the stadium surrounded by Bandwagon Yankee fans. Gonna rock my "Certified Yankee Hater" shirt under my Josh Beckett jersey though. Should be a good time watching 80% of the crowd leave in the 7th when the Fish put a thumping on them.
June 15, 200915 yr I have my tickets for saturday's game. it's going to be pretty hectic. I'm really happy though that I am going with my dad because he will be the one driving. whenever I go to games with friends I am always the driver. I would hate to drive in that crowded parking lot.

I'm really happy though that I am going with my dad because he will be the one driving. whenever I go to games with friends I am always the driver. I would hate to drive in that crowded parking lot. Forget the parking, getting on the turnpike is going to be a nightmare. I have no idea why people find that so confusing. They should open up the gates and not be charging the toll which should help a bit. But that many beer addled NYers "showing" us locals how to drive in heavy traffic..... Guess I'm not drinking on my birthday this year.
June 15, 200915 yr I usually come down for about 4-5 games a year. I decided though I would rather come down for a less popular series than this one. I go to see my Fish play and not the team they are playing. I despise NY Fans of both teams. I would rather attened when my ticket purchase makes a little more of an attendence difference, it is easier to park, and the beer / bathroom lines are short and sweet. Just my take on this series. But to all my Black and Teal Breathen going this weekend. Represent us well and Go Marlins!
June 15, 200915 yr I just bought tickets for fridays,sat,sundays games on floridamarlins.com for $25.00 each upperdeck behind homeplate Still plenty left in good area's,just gotta look...
June 15, 200915 yr If my calculations are correct... Fri: Pettite vs. West Sat: AJ vs. JJ Sun: CC vs. Volstad Wow. Saturday's game will be awesome, for many reasons.
