The_Admiral Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 Yeah, wow, that thing is pretty dark in the corners there. For all the Bright Happy Fun Miami Party touches they're going with, in the grand scheme of things the whole thing is kind of shadowy and dismal. It's like listening to the Smiths, if listening to the Smiths cost half a billion dollars.It's not my home, it's their home, and I'm welcome no more. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alot of combos. Can't wait to see how the orange hat is used. The orange jersey is a Sunday alternate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HighCheese Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 btw, what's up with these socks? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TBGKon Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 Tropicana Field was accurately called Sam's Club; this isn't much better. That glass needs to be done away with if possible. I bet the stadium is much better with the roof open too, but with it closed, it doesn't look good.That glass needs to be there for air-conditioning purposes. Without it, the roof would be an umbrella like Seattle, but the humiditiy would get trapped in there and would SUCK. Trust me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BBTV Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 Will the roof be open at all really? Seems to me that most of these retractable roofs don't actually get retracted much, and if the heat and humidity are so bad, they might as well put padlocks on the damn thing and keep it closed, which would really ruin the thing for me because, like others said, it's so dark in there despite the glass wall.

I agree, is the extra cost to make it retractable really necessary for 11 games? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you can't open the roof for an April 1st game...then there doesn't seem to be much logic in having a retractable one. Smart is believing half of what you hear. Genius is knowing which half.

Early in the season and late september and October it's closed more than open because of te weather in Wisconsin, but all summer it's rarely closed besides for the occasional storm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

loogodude90 Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 Yeah, wow, that thing is pretty dark in the corners there. For all the Bright Happy Fun Miami Party touches they're going with, in the grand scheme of things the whole thing is kind of shadowy and dismal.Well, a couple things about that.First off, the builders of Marlins Park are aiming for it to be LEED Silver Certified, meaning they had to take measures to reduce energy consumption. That's probably why there aren't wasteful unnecessary lights all over the place. Secondly, black is their primary color. As you said, they were going for Bright Happy Fun Party touches - not as an emphasis. As such, an overall shadowy appearance isn't such a bad thing for a team with a primarily black identity. I find it kind of calming. There is such a thing as too bright, too.Overall, I like the stadium a lot. The outfield windows are a nice (and seemingly unique?) touch. It's the uniforms that I'm still not totally set on. WIZARDS ORIOLES CAPITALS RAVENS UNITED Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Come on...I agree completely. went to the game yesterday and it felt like the entire game was being played at 7:30pm. the windows out in CF are tinted. they just need to get rid of the tint.I also agree with it feels like an arena turned into a baseball stadium with the roof on.if you're at the park itself, the colors all work fine together. can't wait to see how it looks on TV on Wednesday.
