Still 14 down, 16 to go. (Marlins Park-Miami)



Hello again baseball fans!

So I was able to take in a game at Marlins Park, (i.e. we're holding out for a better naming deal that will never come Park.)

Whatever you may think of the politics behind the building of the park, most people, myself included, would probably admit they did a great job. The architectural lines just give you a contemporary feel, and the retractable roof is definitely going to help in the long, sweltering Miami summer.

As for food, there's something here for everyone. Cuban sandwiches, steak sandwiches, pork sandwiches, plus a feature of representative food from the visiting club's city.

The park is built on the grounds of the former Orange Bowl, and they pay homage with a nice plaque and the lettering pictured above. There's also a bobblehead museum inside.

With the lime green outfield walls and the aquarium behind home plate, there's no mistaking this is Miami's park. If you're ever in South Florida, I definitely recommend you give it a shot.
