March 19, 20197 yr Author The Dimelo campaign is back for 2019 with an updated survey to take... https://www.mlb.com/marlins/fans/dimelo
March 19, 20197 yr So I took the survey and learned a few things....one question asked you to rank from 1-9 which you were most looking forward to this season (this is the order they were presented in): -AutoNation Alley -Estrella Jalisco Party Pass Experience (ticket starting at $10 w/ exclusive access to two outfield locations) -The Club - DEX Imaging Experience -New local F&B (food and beverage) Brand partners - 6 brand partners -El Mercadito - Pepsi: "grab and go" market w/ new healthy/fresh options -3o5 Menu -New blue in-bowl color scheme -Outfield facade ivy -Ticket price reset ---- I guess the ticket to the CF zone - ahem AutoNation Alley - will be called the "Estrella Jalisco Party Pass". I was surprised they called it "F&B" - I don't think most people won't know what that is (I included the "(food and beverage)". This is the first I had heard the El Mercadito - it appears to be one of the new concession stands. They do have a map/locations on their website now: [ATTACH]2771._xfImport[/ATTACH] To note - there are no duplicated locations anymore (previously there were two burger locations, two pizza locations, etc.). They also don't have anything listed for the Taste of Miami area.....I thought that may have been what the El Mercadito was until I googled it and found the map. I definitely like the variety, and I plan on trying different things. The only thing I'm concerned about - with all these branded concessions, will food be reasonably priced (near previous pricing), or will it cost more with them branded? I don't know whether the 3o5 menu points one direction or the other - on one hand, it could mean food prices are increasing so they wanted to provide cheaper options; on the other, it could mean overall prices are the same/slightly lowered. And FWIW, I rated The Club last, mostly because tickets are expensive, so I'll likely not be sitting there/experiencing that anytime soon.
March 19, 20197 yr Author I ranked The Club last too not because I dont like it but because I'll probably never sit there. I wish we could explain that.
March 20, 20197 yr I completed the survey, everyone should. If you are going to complain that the team doesn't listen to the fans, you should at least give them your input to "ignore".
March 20, 20197 yr Man, I see that map and the names / options just strikes me as an indoor flea market. All it's missing is a place to buy bootleg dvd's. I'm hopeful that since they are all local options and companies, they are close to their prices out of the stadium. Did the Marlins ditch Amarark / Levy Restaurants?

I'm hopeful that since they are all local options and companies, they are close to their prices out of the stadium. Did the Marlins ditch Amarark / Levy Restaurants? Ha. Why does it seem like a flea market? --- https://ballparkdigest.com/2019/01/16/local-fare-added-to-marlins-park-menu/ This article from January indicates that Levy is still involved. But I don't know to what extent. Perhaps they still operate the locations, just using the brands? Or maybe they just organized the setup are are now otherwise hands off (not operating them)? Here's what that article says: The five new partner brand concession locations for 2019 are part of a full re-concept and reposition of the Promenade Level food and beverage experience by the Marlins and hospitality partner Levy. The new program, based on fan feedback and industry leading practices, will feature new menu items and stand designs inspired by the community for ballpark favorites as well as other new specialty concepts, including a rotating feature location for test menus by Levy and through limited-time partnerships with guest chefs and local restaurants. In addition, Marlins members and their guests located in The Club presented by DEX Imaging will have exclusive access to an interactive chef experience in the expanded and new look club and an elevated in-seat dining and drink service as part of new industry standard for premium seating.

March 20, 20197 yr DePinga!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Sir, please watch your language, sir. It got away and knocked over the makeup display.
April 19, 20197 yr The Brewers have $6 tickets available on Monday nights. They call it Miller Monday’s. The Brewers. Who have won quite a few games this year and have a much better fan base than the Marlins.
April 19, 20197 yr We should do tickets for $3.05 on select days. “Why didn’t I think of that!” - Jeter
April 19, 20197 yr "Miami Mondays" $3.05 tickets $7.86 parking Get yourself, another person and your car into Marlins Park for under $15 Hit me up if you need any more ideas Jeter.
April 19, 20197 yr "Miami Mondays" $3.05 tickets $7.86 parking Get yourself, another person and your car into Marlins Park for under $15 Hit me up if you need any more ideas Jeter. I know it's a joke, but sell those upper deck tickets like that every game and you might get a handful more people a game lol.
April 19, 20197 yr Author Get yourself, another person and your car into Marlins Park for under $15 I doubt they'll allow me to drive my car into the actual ballpark especially for that cheap.
April 19, 20197 yr I know it's a joke, but sell those upper deck tickets like that every game and you might get a handful more people a game lol. Nope not a joke. I think they should do that.
April 19, 20197 yr I know it's a joke, but sell those upper deck tickets like that every game and you might get a handful more people a game lol. It'll probably cost more to open the concessions up there - they also haven't been renovated up there. Unless they just make everyone go downstairs for food/drink. I doubt they'll allow me to drive my car into the actual ballpark especially for that cheap. I mean, it is called AutoNation Alley for a reason, right?
April 19, 20197 yr Fill the lower deck up before thinking about the upper deck. The $3.05 tickets can be in the OF and down the lines past first/third. Anything except the infield seats.
April 19, 20197 yr I doubt they'll allow me to drive my car into the actual ballpark especially for that cheap. There is a garage door by the players entrance built INTO the park that Jeter and Sherman use.

I mean, it is called AutoNation Alley for a reason, right? Yeah, make em go downstairs- put it by the escalator whichever sections they can sit in.
April 19, 20197 yr Fill the lower deck up before thinking about the upper deck. The $3.05 tickets can be in the OF and down the lines past first/third. Anything except the infield seats. True, but then the shysters can easily sneak into the good seats. Keep em upstairs and they don't have much of a choice. Or make 3.05 seats in sections 3 and 5 !
April 19, 20197 yr True, but then the shysters can easily sneak into the good seats. Keep em upstairs and they don't have much of a choice. Or make 3.05 seats in sections 3 and 5 ! Put ushers at the good seats. If some sneak in, big deal. Just get people into the park, get them buying food, maybe some stuff at the store for the kids... make new fans potentially from the experience.
April 19, 20197 yr Put ushers at the good seats. If some sneak in, big deal. Just get people into the park, get them buying food, maybe some stuff at the store for the kids... make new fans potentially from the experience. There are ushers in the good seats (at the top of the sections) unless you walk through the rows of seats below them. There are always additional ushers at the sections for the on field seats, so they won't be able to sneak in there. I'm with you though - who cares if Joe Schmoe - excuse me Juan Sanchez (it's Miami after all) - sneaks into a better seat; it's a better look for the park to be more full. Plus like you said, they'll get food, etc. I know I spent quite a bit more than my $10 ticket going to the game the other day after concessions. As it gets more full, fans will naturally be less able to sneak into better seats.
April 19, 20197 yr Author There is a garage door by the players entrance built INTO the park that Jeter and Sherman use. Yes I've seen this in action it's awesome. I was leaving a game and walking towards the garage and security stops the crowd for a moment as I see the door rising and I'm expecting just some maintenance style equipment maybe a pick up truck with ladders and metal beams etc etc but the door rises and there's Sherman and his wife with the top down and they just ride off looking so cool, it reminded me of the batmobile leaving the batcave.
