miamimarlins Posted October 9, 2011 Share Posted October 9, 2011 my god! that is why I never saw the Tim Burton version. talk about creepy...as a huge Marlins fan, I'm getting to the point where I've seen thing thing enough that it doesn't make me furious anymore, it just makes me laugh. wouldn't mind a meltdown, though.

Rick561 Posted October 9, 2011 Share Posted October 9, 2011 Can we take bets on how long it will take for the home run feature to get stuck in the up position or half way up?I hope they have a shut off switch so the lights don't keep blinking in the event it does get stuck in the up position, that would be such a distraction to hitters. Lol.Hopefully the feature doesn't end up like the teal wall did. Fully operational & then due to budget cuts had ads placed over it. I wonder if in a few years, they'll just leave it up & light it when their is a home run or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KJTALBOT Posted October 10, 2011 Share Posted October 10, 2011 My kids and I have watched the movie dozens of times. I try to skip that scene.

Hysterical.If you've ever read the book - Tim Burton's vision was a lot closer to the source material than the '70s Gene Wilder version. Although as a whole - the '70s version was a better movie.

Judging by the the structure going up that you can see on the webcam it does not look like it even has room to move all the way down into the "tank". It looks like it's in there pretty solid:It'll light up and start moving, aka get even tackier, when someone hits a home run.The true benefit of the retractable roof, as opposed to a fixed dome, in this case will be the ability to air lift in the construction equipment the next owner will need to tear this crap out.

Titanole Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 It's kind of sad. First the ridiculous new logo, then this ridiculous "art". It's like they are trying to be a laughing stock.

fishheatcats Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 It's kind of sad. First the ridiculous new logo, then this ridiculous "art". It's like they are trying to be a laughing stock.At least Miami FC(now the Strikers) and Panthers wised up this year and went back to tradition. The Strikers rebrand obviously has worked with 4X bigger crowds and improved results on the field.And the Cats have gone back to red sweaters at home and replaced the green seats in the lower bowl of the BAC with red ones.Marlins fans have had to put up with being ridiculed for almost the entire existence of the team thanks to various crappy ownership groups and a terrible stadium. Now, when the long coveted new ballpark and all the hope it brings finally arrives, we get this crap.Soccer and hockey finally start back in the right direction, but the Heat are locked out, the Dolphins suck and the Marlins wreck one of the classiest looks in baseball. Can't ever seem to get things firing on all cylinders in this town. Flight 19 ::: Fort Lauderdale Soccer Supporters ::: DEFEND THE FORT! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mac the Knife Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 The monstrosity lasts a few seasons, until they need to generate more revenue by putting seats in that section of the park. Once that happens, that thing'll be out of there faster than through a goose full of laxatives. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
