fish20 Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 Pretty simple question. And if you want it removed what should go in its place? I think a kind of fake beach type thing that fans could rent out and watch the game from given that we are in miami wouldnt be terrible. Kind of a thing similar to the hot tub area that was in the old stadium. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uncle Leo Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 First time I read this topic I thought "wait, we built a sculpture of Jeter?" I don't hate the HR sculpture, but I definitely don't love it either. Given it's location tough to know what would be feasible or work logistically. A fake beach with the marlin dancers sunbathing in bikinis would be chill. And then every time there's a HR they get up and start dancing and Billy the Marlin starts shooting shirts out of the air cannon Rambo style. I'd be down for that.

DTrain Posted February 10, 2018 Share Posted February 10, 2018 I know we are supposed to answer Yes or No but can I choose Depends (I know someone will make a cheesy joke about Depends). For me, it depends what you replace it with. Because the Marlins play in Miami, the HR sculpture doesnt bother me at all. If we were the North Dakota Marlins or the Vermont Marlins I would not like the HR sculpture at all. But, nope, we are definitely the Miami Marlins.

SilverBullet Posted February 12, 2018 Share Posted February 12, 2018 I'll fight for the lime green walls over the sculpture any day of the week. Those are great. And they're unique and give character to the ballpark without being gaudy and overboard. They're just a brighter shade of green, they're not neon or flourescent or glow in the dark or anything like that. Anyone who complains about the lime green walls is making an assumption on them based on how they "sound" but hasn't actually paid attention to how they really look.

THRILLHO Posted February 12, 2018 Share Posted February 12, 2018 The sculpture’s legend is far greater than the actual sculpture itself. When you go to the park and actually see it you realize that it isn’t some massive towering structure that casts a giant shadow over all things in the park. It’s size is more modest than you’d be lead to believe by strategic photos taken of it. When they “light” it after home runs it is also fairly modest. The sculpture isn’t that big of a deal. My only issue with it is the association with Loria. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SilverBullet Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 An update on the home run sculpture debate, looks like the artist has certain rights to protect it, he basically has to give permission or make an agreement for it to be moved and he doesn't want it gone... http://www.miamiherald.com/news/local/community/miami-dade/article201240794.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilverBullet Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 This whole process seems too complicated and potentially expensive to worry about. Move this thing down the list of priorities and revisit it at a later date. It'll be easier to move when we say we need that space to hang up all the World Series banners we're about to collect.
