Michael Posted April 1, 2012 Share Posted April 1, 2012 I know there's still a couple outs to go as I write this, but what does everyone think about the park now that we've been able to see it on the telly? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MiamiNative0722 Posted April 1, 2012 Share Posted April 1, 2012 I'm pretty hopeful that we're going to consistently sell out this year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nuts&bolts Posted April 1, 2012 Share Posted April 1, 2012 Lots of empty seats. /sameoldmarlins This was due to them only selling 25,000 of the 36,000 available tickets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MiamiNative0722 Posted April 1, 2012 Share Posted April 1, 2012 Tomorrow will be good as well - give us an idea of how it'll look at night. 5k more fans tomorrow too. Wednesday needs to get here faster. I'm going to drag through the next two days Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FloridaMarlinsForever Posted April 1, 2012 Share Posted April 1, 2012 I like the feel of a day game thats not so bright in the stadium, not only does the stadium look cool, it feels cool just watching it on tv. The only complaint I have is the fish tanks dont seem to light up as much as I thought they would. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IAFish Posted April 1, 2012 Share Posted April 1, 2012 Thought with the roof closed it felt a bit too dark on tv. That and still a bit too much lime green for my taste. Hopefully come Wednesday the crowd will be louder as well (sure they will be). Other than that still a great park and obviously huge improvement over what Marlins had before.

Admin Posted April 1, 2012 Share Posted April 1, 2012 On TV it sounded like there was a ton of Yankee fans and the whole crowd really died off after the first couple of innings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mets_bs Posted April 1, 2012 Share Posted April 1, 2012 Why the green? The aquarium? And far be it my place, as the fan of a team with an apple popping out of a hat, but I don't get the statue. It all seems like it takes away from the game, but that's just my taste. It certainly looks like a nice facility. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobbob1313 Posted April 1, 2012 Share Posted April 1, 2012 Why not the green or the aquarium? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mets_bs Posted April 1, 2012 Share Posted April 1, 2012 Why not the green or the aquarium? It looks like a green screen, it's just distracting. Same for the aquarium, just distracting and seems unneccessary. There's nothing wrong with having attractions at the park to keep families with kids entertained. However when the actual field is so ostentatious that it distracts from the game it comes off as trying to compensate for a bad product - and I think the Marlins will be fun enough to not need that kind of thing to keep the butts in the seats.

mystikol87 Posted April 1, 2012 Share Posted April 1, 2012 Was it rude for the Yankees fans to chant "Let's Go, Yankees!" in the first inning of the first pro game at the new park? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
