... Posted March 31, 2012 Share Posted March 31, 2012 Thanks for the clarification. I'm sure the priest cleared it with the archdiocese prior to signing the contract with the parking company. I for one can't wait to park in my own parish Yup. I didn't check into any particulars of what sort of church it was before I responded, what I said is applicable to any church or non-profit. In your case, St John Bosco Parish is a Catholic church and part of the Archdiocese of Miami, so, yeah, no doubt the whole thing was approved by the Archdiocese and the possibility of any problem whatsoever is less than zero. Walgreens is also getting in on the parking action, such as it is (at about $32/spot,) but your rates are probably better. :lol Very cool that your house of worship is only 2-3 blocks away from your other house of worship. So to speak. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
... Posted March 31, 2012 Share Posted March 31, 2012 Didn't you do your condescending thing recently towards a person who said they were going to do this exact thing as a result of the stadium? Why, yes, I did. I also said that I didn't believe a word of it. Although, it would be good if all of the "victims" left. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fauowls44 Posted March 31, 2012 Share Posted March 31, 2012 http://miami.marlins.mlb.com/mia/ballpark/off_site_parking.jsp All 3000 spots are either within walking distance or have trolly or shuttle service. The only shuttle service that isn't free is from the Magic City casino ($5.00 for adults, free for kids 12 and younger). This doesn't include parking on people's lawns.

fauowls44 Posted March 31, 2012 Share Posted March 31, 2012 There should be plenty of parking. It's just a matter of people figuring out where to go and the best way to get there. That is what will cause the issues initially, not a lack of spots. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marlins Posted April 1, 2012 Share Posted April 1, 2012 Marlins secure another 3,000 parking spaces ranging from a block away to 2 miles from the park. The spots are at nearby businesses, hospitals and government buildings... As for the parking spots at the stadium-there are some leftover in which you could purchase online. The Marlins have also identified 8,000 parking spots on nearby residential property in which the owners expect to offer individually... http://www.miamiherald.com/2012/04/01/2725453/marlins-add-3000-parking-spaces.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BroncoBob27 Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 [ You know... I'm actually a season ticket holder so... Ticket holder means I'm better than you. You do realize no one has ever said or even hinted at that. But I will laugh at the hypocrisy of anyone that dosen't go to many games and throw tantrums whenever anyone else even mentions poor attendance. I find hypocrisy very funny. I also find it very fummy that it's usually those that don't even live near South Florida that are the ones trying to get things started.

BroncoBob27 Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 There were some pretty good maps in Sunday's PBP on parking and getting to and from the park. I am seriously considering parking at the Civic Center and taking the trolley right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't seem to find it on their site. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flamarlins3 Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 There were some pretty good maps in Sunday's PBP on parking and getting to and from the park. I am seriously considering parking at the Civic Center and taking the trolley right now. I guess my fear for this one is that after the game it will be a cluster. It probably will be anyways but trying to catch a trolley post game just sounds awful. I think I'm going to go for something within walking distance and just get there ridiculously early.

Wild Card Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 I think I'm just going to buy a parking pass to each game I go to. I mean, that seems so much easier than everything that's being suggested, lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MRMarlin93 Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 I wonder what the handicapped parking situation is. My dad has issues walking and it would be nice to be close. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
305native Posted April 3, 2012 Author Share Posted April 3, 2012 I wonder what the handicapped parking situation is. My dad has issues walking and it would be nice to be close. Here is what I found out: Handicapped parking at the stadium must be paid by visiting www.marlins.com/parking. Once at the selected parking facility fans with handicapped placard will be directed to any available disabled space on the ground floor.

Piazza31 Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 So, Worth Parking at the church to take off toward coral way when done, or park at walgreens and try to get 836? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DownRodeo Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 got back from the game a couple hours ago. after hearing the horror stories with regard to parking and traffic, i thought it was going to be a nightmare getting out of the stadium. i literally have never gotten out of a stadium/arena more easily than i did for tonight's game. i couldn't believe it. slid right out of the parking lot (which was a block away from the ballpark) and didn't hit any traffic. the trick is to avoid the dolphin expressway and head straight to 95. the thing with joe robbie was that everybody was essentially funneled through one exit. with the new ballpark, if you research the side streets ahead of time, there are so many ways to sneak out. at any rate, that was my experience. i'm curious what others went through tonight.

SkyJuice Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 Simply the easiest time I've had parking and leaving. Only notable traffic was on nw 12th and the 836 east. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AeroFishOne Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 The views from the blimp showed plenty of extra parking spots on the top levels of the garage. Most of each top level were about half full. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What route did you take to get to 95? Sounds like there was traffic on the 836, so this might be a better route to take. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
