If you have ever been to Miami you will understand it – the locals will go crazy for it. It is like the rocks in our CF – opponent fans love to mock them, we kinda just accept it and when the fireworks shoot out of it after a HR or a victory it is all part of the experience.
I can’t wait to see this horrible thing in action.
a couple years back when disneyland had just renovated its a small world we went on it the day it reopened. The spinning ballerina in that first room had her head fall off. her blonde braides hanging off the edge of the platform from her detached head while her body twisted and spun, it was quite a sight. Thats what I’m hoping for from this. Some horrible sight that is just amazing to see.
I don't understand MLB signing off on their new image.
The hunter orange hats and this batters’ distraction directly adjacent to the batters’ eye? Didn’t they outlaw loose metalic jewelry because it was too much of a distraction?
But seeing this latest picture, I actually think its not so bad. Maybe I’ve seen it enough that it’s starting to grow on me, but I think when the whole stadium is complete it will all actually look good. I mean in the context of Miami of course, anywhere else it would be a complete disaster.
My boss and I, and one other guy were huge South Park fans. So my boss and I called him (he was back in L.A.) to say in our best Cartman voice… “We’re going to Casa Bonita! We’re going to Casa Bonita!”
It's just so FABULOUUUSSS!!!

I cant wait to see the whole stadium to get it all in perspective
I wonder if that awful green wall is staying that color?

Its hard to believe how massive that thing is
They might as well have just put in a giant pachinko machine in CF.

Its making me dizzy trying to see it on my phone! Haha!

Haha!
Dude I’m on my phone too, my screen is pretty big, 4 inches, I had to scroll all around to see what it was.

That's exactly what I have been saying since this thing was first announced.
It’s a giant pachinko machine. And with fresh seafood all over it. The Japanese will love this thing.

Damn, I came into this thread to mention Pachinko.
Not an original idea, i guess. ;)

I feel pretty strongly the 2016 Marlins won't look much like the 2012 Marlins
Everything about their new brand is just lame

I absolutely love this
for the sheer monstrosity of it! I used to live in Florida and I hated every minute of it. I take great pleasure in its gaudiness!
agent_99 - February 7, 2012
At first I thought it was a hideous monstosity

Gimmick-wise
It seems on par with a rock pile shaped like an A.
Both are spectacles without being spectacular.

On a business trip to Denver a few years back....
My boss and I, and one other guy were huge South Park fans. So my boss and I called him (he was back in L.A.) to say in our best Cartman voice… “We’re going to Casa Bonita! We’re going to Casa Bonita!”
His response? “Screw you guys, I’m going home!”
