Oh sh*t!

looks cool

why is the 418 mark in right center, the only one in black?

I think it's because it is in/near the batters eye

Still trying to figure out whats going on here the last few days, Is it Mothman? A Giant Bird? Did an Asteroid hit the Roof?

 

 

 

 

It's not a tear, it's some sort of structure that has been added. Seems to be about 8-10' wide and about 15' high on the vertical side that's facing the camera. The top is horizontal and the black stuff that moves around seems to be hanging off the top.

 

If you look at a shot from around 8:45 AM, you can see the shadow this sort-of-triangular profile structure casts.

Yes, iv been checking it out everyday, seems to be maybe be an access door or something?

This reminds me of an old twilight zone episode I saw as a kid when someone flying on a plane looks out the window and sees some gargoyle-ish creature sitting on the wing, yet nobody seems to see this creature but this one guy.

That was twilight the Movie, (segment 4) seen it 100 times,Yes! that reminds me of it too.

Interesting fish in the aquariums...

Glad I'm not the only one!

When that section of the roof was initially built, it was the usual steel sections (with no access hole,) all covered by the membrane.

 

Looking at the interior cam, there's nothing under that area of the roof other than about a 50' drop to the 2nd deck concourse.

 

I have absolutely no idea what the purpose of the structure is. Perhaps it'll house the world's largest rain-gauge.

 

On the related topic, the original genesis of the creature on the wing was Twilight Zone episode 105, "Nightmare at 20,000 feet," first aired on TV in 1963, starring a very young William Shatner. Special effects were ridiculously poor to nonexistent and the "monster" mucking around with the wing looked like a guy in a bad bear suit. I, of course, being an old guy, saw it at the time because I never missed a weekly episode of TZ or the rare televised Twins game. It was remade as part of the movie 20 years later.

Enemy? A fish is an enemy?

 

If lion fish had propagated in the Atlantic 10,000 years ago, it would be now be routinely accepted as the norm, and any effort to get rid of lion fish would be sued perpetually into oblivion.

 

Seriously, 99% of all species which have ever lived are extinct. Big deal. Life goes on, even if knee-jerk alarmists think it won't for whatever goofy reason.

 

Apparently lion fish are good eating. Should the Marlins open a restaurant that serves tasty fish fresh from their aquariums?

 

Samson needs to weigh in on this, he'll surely settle everyone down.

 

:lol

so the lionfish can eat the other smaller fish? eh.... ok.

 

from personal experience with them down here in Exuma... They're wreaking havoc on a lot of reefs so I kill every one of them I see, and they DO TASTE DELICIOUS

unrelated I know but has anyone seen yet where the pavers are located? I bought one and I want to see it....of course they said at the time they are providing maps.....have yet to see one

So, are there any actual stuffed marlins around the stadium? My uncle has one at his house that looks awesome

More likely a sail fish than a marlin...

Read the NY Times article in it's entirety and you will understand why it is such a potential problem for commercial and recreational fishing, diving, and snorkeling, as well as the overall health of the reef.

Originally, it was an old episode with William Shatner - it was updated in the movie with John lithgow... The Shat is everywhere

The updated one was my childhood fav, It was scary!

Anyone seen any recent updated pictures?

I think it was a great idea to have quadrant sponsors but keep the name Marlins Park. I hope they are able to do this longterm.

100% agree

Is it wrong I like Buster's nickname of "The Fish Tank"?

I think it's horrible. I do see Pepsi name there. But I think it's horrible. But whatever, not my money.
