Park Name: Marlins Park Tenants: Miami Marlins (National League) Opened: 2012 Address: 501 Marlins Way, Miami, Florida 33125 Dimensions: 344' (L), 400' (C), 335' (R) The roof at Marlins Park opens up by sliding over the main entry plaza, creating a canopy over the ballpark gate. The ballpark was built on the former site of the Orange Bowl football stadium, and sculptures outside the third base gate show the former stadium's marquee lettering as if it had fallen from the building during demolition. The upper deck at Marlins Park. As the team does not draw very well they rarely sell seats on the top level. Box seats at the bottom of the seating bowl are separated from the rest of the grandstand by a tiled walkway. The Clevelander, a working night club, sits behind the fence in left center field. It features live music and a pool for fans to use during games. The concourse at seating areas at Marlins Park are covered in colored tiles, with each corner of the park having its own color. Areas between sections feature transitions in the tiles. A mural along the concourse celebrates the history of the Orange Bowl stadium that once stood on the ballpark site. The park features a Bobblehead Museum, which showcases bobblehead giveaways from each major league team. The entire case shakes, bobbling every one. A giant art piece celebrating the city of Miami sits behind the center field wall and lights up and rotates when the Marlins hit a home run. The outfield wall lowers in height in front of the visitor's bullpen, and a secondary scoreboard hangs over the left field corner of the park. |
