Miami Marlins

Went to a game on a Saturday night in mid-April. Flew in that day and saw the roof was open from the plane. By game time the roof was closed on a beautiful 78 degree night. If I had to describe it in a word I'd say: weird. One of the newer stadiums in baseball so I was expecting some legitimacy even though I'd heard it was kind of an eye soar. With the roof closed the sound was terrible, super loud. The concourses were open, but very few concessions causing a lot of long lines. And what do you get at the end of that long line? A $12 beer. Wtf? We sat in center field and you did feel surprisingly close to the game, which was nice. There is a legitimate night club in left field that played loud music during the game. Weird. One good common area in left field and a weird one that really didn't face the field in right. Marlins played the mariners. Henderson Alvarez pitched a 2 hit shut out. As we toured the stadium we saw mariners utility player willie bloomquist wandering the concourse during the game trying to get to the bullpen. He was lost, confused, and not happy. He gave the security guards hell for not getting him to the right spot. Stadium is not in a good part of town and had really strange architecture. It wasn't bad, it was just weird. Grade: C
