I do think some tanks up on the concourse would have been nice......where more fans aside from diamond club folks could actually see them. To be honest, I loved the idea of Fish Tanks in the ballpark. Made it very unique and cool, in my opinion. But that's mainly because I have always been a huge fan of transparent/see through things.* When I was a youngster I was so fascinated by these: And of course as any South Florida native will know very well: *I'm a fan of see through things except @SonOfJack 's see through bath robe that he wears around the house, which I'm pretty sure he just took the shower curtain liner and fashioned it into a bath robe.

I'm sure there was a bug that was displaced by the stadium too. They should: 1) Create an an area called "Fish Fans" on the concourse - put real salt water tanks with all the colorful tropical fish and baseball themed corals. Have a big taxidermied (sp?) marlin hanging above and have a display with a bunch of marlin and ocean/sea life facts for kids. 2 (optional) put video boards down by home plate where the original tanks were and display b-roll of underwater ocean scenes.

That's a good idea, but probably those same animal activists will complain about that too and demand to put a plastic or ceramic sculpture instead. 😂
April 3, 20233 yr If we're gonna hang a taxidermed marlin in the concourse I say we start with Charlie Hough, he's getting pretty old.

But I think those groups will complain either way.....hence my bug comment.
