YES not the greatest sports city in America due to the many snowbirds that come to S Florida and the northners who move here. Like with all new stadiums the newness will wear off but it won't be as bad as (not even close) playing in that dreadful place where the Dolphins play. It had to be one of the worst places in the history of baseball to watch a game. Hard to believe that THIS franchise has won TWO World Series playing that hole from hell.

The Red Sox could come to play at I think its called Sun Life Stadium and i wouldn't go now the new place for sure.

Peace

Why is it hard to believe that the Marlins have won 2 world series in that stadium? They are a very well-run organization. Yes, that Dolphins stadium was a dump that was terrible for baseball. But it obviously didn't hinder the Marlins from winning.

the city of atlanta disagrees with you.

Yeah, it's a real battle between Atlanta and Miami, but I have to go with Miami. They don't even sell out Dolphins games....so many empty seats at all their games last year.

Well at least Miami has won a couple Super Bowls one with THE only undefeated team. One in Basketball and two in Baseball with the Marlins. Atlanta as far as i know NOTHING. I don't blame the Dolphin fans for NOT coming out the management has put on the field an inferior product...besides it gives me a chance to see the Patriots and any other team I want in very good seats.

That's what makes it even worse for Miami! It's not like they have a history of losing and the fans are tortured. The Heat won in 06. Marlins have won twice in the past 15 years. Dolphins have had a lot of success in the past.

Braves won the world series in 95 I think it was.

Opps I knew there was atleast one team that had some success from Atlanta. If i was a Fins fan I wouldn't go to the games either with $20-40 parking alone, no way. I'd boycott till they put forth a better product on the field. Now with a lousy owner like Stephen Ross who wants to have his imput I don't see much improvement anytime soon. He meddles way too much and has no clue what he's doing..so i don't blame the fans one bit for NOT coming to the stadium. Many many loyal fans are turning in their longtime season tickets just make a point to make the team better to halfway complete with the Jets, Patriots and now Buffalo.

I get that the Dolphins are a mess right now. It's just frustrating when you see a city that has success with their teams and they still dont get the fan support.

but when the falcons are bad, they don't come close to selling out either. atlanta can't even sell out playoff baseball games.

2 awful sports towns...i think miami has more frauds who come out of the woodworks though (heat "fans" in particular)

That's the case with most pro teams even though the Dolphins success came in the 70's and in the Marino years. That's some time ago and if your team is unsuccessful on the field year after fans will find something else to do especially in a city like Miami. I'd go to beach and watch the ladies go by than burn in the sun as the Fins put me to sleep.

I don't get all the hate on the new stadium. The home run thing is weird but the rest of the stadium looks like it fits well in South Florida.

The play-by-play last night described it best ... a cruise ship and a space ship gave birth and the stadium was the result.

Hahah, yeah, but that's Miami right? Modern and on the beach.

Exactly. I'm tired of every team trying to out-retro everybody else. It's about time someone stepped away from the "unique just like everyone else" mindset.

Now if the team would just ditch the black as their primary color and embrace the orange, they'll really be on to something.

Miami Marlins Construction Crew Completely Unaware They've Been Building Baseball Stadium
APRIL 2, 2012 | ISSUE 48•14

MIAMI—Speaking with reporters while putting the finishing touches on Miami's new stadium Saturday, construction workers at Marlins Park admitted they had no idea what the structure would be used for, despite having built baseball stadiums in the past. "We installed a big pool back there, so maybe all the seats are for people waiting in line to swim?" said foreman Frank Davies, sealing one of the large, inexplicable dual aquarium tanks behind home plate. "But there's that giant rainbow thing with the pink flamingos we built at the edge of the grass that sometimes lights up and moves like a windmill, so I'd say my best guess is this is a really big miniature golf hole or a theme park for disabled children." Major League Baseball has yet to rule the field fit for play, as the stadium has no traditional dugouts, Marlins management having opting instead for two giant sets of wax lips.

PHILADELPHIA -- Miami Marlins manager Ozzie Guillen said prior to Monday’s game against the Phillies that he would travel back to Miami after the game and hold a press conference Tuesday to address comments in a recent Time magazine article concerning Cuban dictator Fidel Castro.

Guillen was quoted as saying he respected Castro for having been able to remain in power in Cuba as long as he has.

ozzie will be fired for this. dan lebatard (1st gen cuban american) said that castro is cuba's version of hitler.

81

you really think they are going to fire him less than a week in?

and would you compare castro to hitler?
