Attendance at the old stadium (which was also used for Miami Dolphins football) was low, and is believed to be caused by the harsh south Florida heat, along with the bad seating layout and overall poor stadium quality. The new ballpark seems to be adequately sized (third smallest capacity in Major League Baseball), and the retractable roof (and temperature control system) will be beneficial against frequent rain and will provide a comfortable atmosphere for spectators. The Florida Marlins' new home should help attract the large baseball following of south Florida. Also, if it succeeds in its attempts to host the World Baseball Classic and MLB All-Star Game, then all the exposure and visitors could be extremely advantageous for Miami-Dade County.Robby Schneiderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12241463445510674413noreply@blogger.com
