ballpark looks great from looking at the pics and watching on TV. even looks like a good % of the stands are still covered for shade even with the roof open.
Hey bros the season is upon us! We will be hitting home runs very far this season I can feel it! Josh Johnson and Mark Buerhle will be tossing the baseball right past the opposing hitters.
can we also take note that tomorrow might possibly be one of the biggest days in Miami sports history that doesn't involve a championship if only the Panthers clinched the Southeast
So fucking excited, gonna get there at 4. Also for those of you going, the gates open early tomorrow because it's opening day (4).
God dammit I'm excited. I've been a fan through the 100 loss seasons, the fire sales, the managerial changes, and the crowds of 400 people. I've seen Miguel Cabrera, Josh Beckett, Gary Sheffield, Dontrelle Willis, Kevin Brown, Al Leiter, and so many other great players leave for more money and win. I've seen us fire possibly one of the best young managers in baseball and watch him win with the Yankees. I've seen us field a lineup of absolute trash. I've seen us field a team of absolute promise. I've been a fan through the great World Series runs, the fun teams, and I've wanted to be Billy the Marlin. I ran the bases at Joe Robbie, I own a 1997 Champs shirt, and I eat cereal out of the same beat up plastic Marlins hat that I have used for years. I absolutely love this team. Now we have a new stadium, a new identity, and for the first time in my life there's an excitement on opening day that I haven't felt for this team ever. I've waited for today for about 5 years. Suck it San Antonio, get your own baseball team. Go Marlins.
if someone can actually make a little image I'd be able to upload it no problem, it's just that I don't have photoshop with me on the road
Oops. I feel just like you. I have tix to bothe the opener and the game against the thunder tonight. The decision was easy. Can't wait to see this team in this stadium. I already have more tickets to this season than I have for the last 4 years combined.
“@JCRMarlinsbeat: Jose Feliciano. Not sure about first pitch RT @JMitchUCF For opening day, whose singing national anthem? Or throwing first pitch?”
If it isnt the Rock...then Charlie Hough, Benito Santiago, (Senior) Felix, Scott Pose, Bret Barberie, Orestes Destrade, Dave Magaden, Walt Weiss and some unknown left fielder who never did anything for this franchise throw out the first pitch simultaneously.
I hope they bring back some Marlins greats. Like a Cliff Floyd, Santiago, Hough, Charles Johnson, Counsell, Renteria, Willis (Hell he just got cut again), Lowell, Preston Wilson, Sheffleld.
I don't usually rock team gear (I only have a Miami Heat vintage T) but I'd wear the shit out of this shirt.

got my black jersey on today here in Atlanta. no dirty looks though. Cant wait for the Marlins to get up here so i can hear more "oh look...the entire Marlins fanbase is here!" said to me in a stadium with 11,000 people in attendance.
i got mine from here boss http://www.fansedge.com/Florida-Mar...-T-Shirt-_1685374825_PD.html?froogle=66-42815
this will def get dri-fit gear when it comes out, but that marlins country shirt is pretty badass even if it is cotton
doubt they will have hough to benito again, didn't they do that last opening day at the old park? Gotta start something new imo
