Webcam is updated (presets) and it is really looking close to completion. The fish tanks look good, not too brightly lit to distract fielders.

 

Question, where will the Clevelander be? At pool level or above?

 

And what will the new concrete walls (just finished and primed white) be? What about the oval-shaped area at the top level under the glass panels?

I believe those new concrete walls will be painted green, based off renderings. The Clevelander is at pool/field level, and extends from the bullpen to the HR feature. And that oval area on the concourse is going to be a bar, if I remember correctly.

Thanks!!

These pictures are unbelievable! Even with the HR feature, the stadium looks absolutely gorgeous with the roof open. Great job!

So, wait, is the outfield wall done completely then? Like, are those plastic/"glass" panels in front of where the bullpens are?

 

 

I imagine so. Since the seats are directly behind them plexi offers the best view. Kinda cool really.

Some of those interior shots were sexy. The club areas and the clubhouse. I cannot wait.

 

I'm guessing the still unfinished room with Samson and Loria at the top was the Cleavelander. I'd the team shop near completion, I haven't seen any photos of it.

 

 

The only thing im not a fan of really and there isnt much you could do with it is the lower level outfield seats. Its almost to much like a cave in there.

What I learned from this article:

 

-Concession stands have bilingual digital menus.

-HR sculpture will be ready for the Yankees game.

-First ever exhibition game will be on Monday between 2 high school teams.

-You'll be able to order food from concession stands from your phone & get notified when it's ready.

-Bobble-head museum will have 600+ bobble-heads with air blowing on them so they could bobble.

-There will be markers beyond the outfield walls in the stands to see exact how far the ball traveled.

-There will be free public WiFi all over the stadium.

-Stadium isn't expected to be 100% completed until right before the opener.

 

And there's also an explanation for that weird "artwork" that was pictured before...

 

 

The bilingual digital menus at the concession stands are in place, and the two large aquariums behind home plate are finally stocked with fish.

The 73-foot home run sculpture in center field? That should be ready to light up and shake by the time the Yankees come to town at the end of spring training.

It has taken 33 months, but Marlins Park is just days from making its debut.

On Saturday afternoon, the public will get its first taste with FanFest. All 40 players and manager Ozzie Guillen will be there to answer questions and mingle. On Monday, Miami high school rivals Columbus and Belen play in the park’s first exhibition game. On Tuesday, the Marlins will make their Marlins Park debut against the University of Miami, before taking on FIU a night later.

Owner Jeffrey Loria can’t wait to start welcoming visitors. He also can’t wait to begin sharing all the bells and whistles that make Miami’s new $515 million retractable roof baseball castle unique.

From being able to order food from the concession stand on a smartphone to a large Bobblehead collection featuring at least 600 figurines from all major-league teams past and present, Marlins Park has a few interesting features most other major-league parks don’t have.

“I can confirm we’ll have an air conditioner blowing air to make sure the Bobbleheads actually bobble,� Loria said Wednesday as he took a group of Miami Herald editors and reporters on a private tour of the stadium.

“We also plan to put [home run distance] markers beyond the outfield in the stands, so if a ball is hit beyond the fence you’ll have a good sense if it went 330 [feet], or 372 [feet], or 700 feet to the parking lot.�

In addition to having a Wi-Fi connection available all over the stadium (including restrooms), fans who order food from the concession stands on their phone will receive a notification to pick it up when it’s ready. “You won’t have to wait in long lines anymore,� Loria said.

There are works of art throughout the park.

At the entrance to the Promenade Level, where most fans will enter the 37,442-seat stadium, a large collection of painted ceramic tiles — a representation of late Spanish artist Joan Miro’s artwork — called Figures, Mountains, Sky, Star and Bird greets the public. In other corners of the stadium, reproductions of paintings from pop artists Roy Lichtenstein and Kenny Scharf will also go up.

But it’s from “Miro’s palette� that Loria got the idea to use the colors red, yellow, blue and green throughout the stadium.

“[This park is] about glass, field, concrete, paint and all of it fitting into the landscape,� said Loria, who first drew his vision of the stadium four years ago on a napkin. “It’s mostly about form and function meeting each other and working together. I did not want to see us build a building that was a concrete mass. It had to be something that would fit into Miami’s plans, a beautiful building going forward, great contemporary architecture. The net result is what you see right here, and it worked beautifully.�

On the bottom level, in the sold-out Diamond Club, fans will get to watch players take swings in nearby batting cages.

The clubhouse is tear-shaped, not square like the Marlins former clubhouse at Sun Life Stadium. “So there are no cliques in the corners,� Loria said. “All the players can face each other.�

In all, 5,700 parking spaces are available near the stadium. Another 10,000, Marlins President David Samson said, are available nearby off 12th avenue. Fans can park cars and ride trolleys to the stadium or walk.

In all, Samson said the Marlins have 15,000 season-ticket holders — the most the team has sold since Loria became owner. Only four suites, Samson said, remain available.

Samson said work on the stadium isn’t expected to be completed until right before the season opener. On Wednesday, there were still roughly 900 stadium workers at the park, painting, installing wires and floorboards.
