And yes I do realize I'm probably the only one who cares.

Looks pretty tight.

 

If they make one that only hold 6,000 they will probably sell out every game.

Looks pretty neat.

The giant sign on the builidng in the video that reads "Marlins Ballpark" is comical. It would be more realistic if it read "To be sold to the highest bidder" But it looks like a really cool facility, huge upgrade.

Pretty sure they are likely to see a spike in attendance.

It looks very nice, and I agree a new stadium with a retractable roof should definitely help attendance. What is the expected capacity for the new stadium?

I would hope they go small like Pittsburgh. 38,000-ish.

37k.

Found this on wiki:

 

Borrowing pages from Chase Field in Phoenix and Citi Field in New York, the Marlins will have a pool area in left field and a porch in right field. The porch in right field will not exactly be like the one at Citi Field, which is similar to the porch at old Tiger Stadium in Detroit. Instead of extending into the playing field, it will be set back into the stands, but the concept is basically the same as New York. [13] Left field will also feature an operable glass wall that will slide across and open to a view of Downtown Miami.

Stretching the length of four football fields, the plaza surrounding the ballpark will be the largest of any stadium in the history of the United States and feature entertainment, President David Samson said. Taste of Miami food courts will offer croquetas, sushi and stone crabs. Miami Mayor Manny Diaz said a hotel, restaurants and retail stores likely will be built around the ballpark; City Manager Pete Hernandez said an ESPN Zone restaurant is a possibility. [14]

The retractable roof is expected to open in approximately 14 minutes and will consist of 8,300 tons of steel which is the exact weight of the Eiffel Tower. The temperature in the new ballpark will average a comfortable 75 degrees Fahrenheit with the roof closed. The new ballpark could also be the first retractable roof ballpark to be Silver Certified by Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED). [15]

 

I can't wait. Hope to be there opening day in '12!!!

Bengals have sold out like 60 something games in a row. Might be better off going after the Reds.

Are you going to count the "bail outs"? Either way...Cincy sports fans in general knocking another teams attendance is pretty funny.
