Marlins Park

My wife and I caught a game here last weekend.  I love how they keep this place air conditioned.  There were plenty of concessions.

We sat in Row 1, section 8 and the view was awesome.  Before the game we had a beer at the bar that overlooks the outfield.  I do not think there is a bad seat in this small ball park.

So being that i'd never seen the upgrade until now that the Marlins got, WOW.. Definite upgrade.. I'm not a true fan, but i'd go here just for the perks.. The parking garage was great, no problem finding a space.. Inside, there were tons of great opportunities to eat and buy memorabilia, but in a non cheesy way. I love the indoor seating, and not worrying about the Miami weather.. It was such a great experience.. The sad part is we barely watched the game.. We were too busy checking out all of the neat areas of the stadium.

I love baseball. Always have and I probably always will. I grew up with it because my brothers both played plus I also dated a few BB players. So I spent a huge part of my life on a baseball field.

These days, I am so glad that I had girls. Because, although I love the game, I hate to sweat!  Marlins Park is huge, beautiful and comfortable. And air conditioned! So on those days that we are at 150% humidity and the sun makes your skin feel like bacon, I can still enjoy a ball game if I want to.

The concessions are super pricey but the options are endless. In my opinion, the Taste of Miami area offers the best option. One refillable $8 soda cup for my husband and me is not bad, since we manage to refill 3 or 4 times during the game.

There is soooo much to see at Marlins Park. Aside from the game. I enjoy people watching. Seriously, it's a spectator sport here in the MIA! Come on, where else can you see a 200 lb female in tight leopard legging with 6" spike heels walking around a baseball stadium? WITH her belly hangin' out!  How about the dude with his shirt open to his navel just to show off his 5" San Lazaro pendant. Or the "fans" that join a mass exodus to the exit in the 7th inning? Like I said, so much to see!

The neighborhood is not the best, but it's well patrolled for the most part. We park in a toothless lady's yard for $5. She gives us a receipt and promises to personally take care of our car! Priceless!
