tubby34 Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 Why was the roof closed? Yet another airplane hanger...I do like the orange and the hat, just wish the script would get cleaned up.Marlins are going to open the roof when the Humidity isn't crazy high or it's not going to rain. Supposedly 10-20 times a year. To another poster, the glass does open in LF even with the roof closed, but it creates a windtunnel effect that hanley said would allow him to hit 150 HR's this year.

The_Admiral Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 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.And that's good. It's just that it seemed like it was designed to be bright, open, and airy, but then with the roof closed it ends up being as dark and gloomy as the Trop. The exterior and concourse look great, and the park looks great with the roof open, but there are just too many shadowy corners.Overall, I like the stadium a lot. The outfield windows are a nice (and seemingly unique?) touch.Milwaukee and Arizona have outfield windows. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theLOFTstudio Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 To clarify, the president of the Marlins said during the game yesterday that with the WINDOWS CLOSED and the ROOF OPEN is when the balls would absolutely fly out of there (per Hanley). He also said that it would be a complete pitchers park with the windows open in any configuration of the roof.Why was the roof closed?

The Mojo Maniac Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 I'm afraid the orange cap will become a collector's item within a relatively short amount of time (maybe like the Orioles' white panel caps). Don't get me wrong, I would like to see them regularly used, as I have ordered one for myself, but the cynic in me is coming out and I'm not expecting much much usage out of that cap. As a sidenote, I tried the orange caps with the home whites on MLB the Show and it actually didn't look as good as I had expected. Not sure how I feel about them with the black jerseys (does anyone know if those will be worn at home at all?), but they need to wear them with the orange alts at the very least. From San Berdoo to Kalamazoo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZapRowsdower8 Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 Black jersey with the orange caps tonight! I'm guessing there is no "right" way to match jersey and cap with this team. We will probably see both caps with all 4 jerseys multiple times this year.Edit: With orange batting helmets too! I'm sure this has been released already, but it was a surprise to me.

southpawstu19 Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 i kinda think they should go with the white pants with the orange stripe to bring it all together. right now it just looks like a light beacon is on top of each player's head Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigBubba Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 I'm an idiot. I thought this was the MLB and Logo changes thread. Sorry...^And orange cap + black jersey = Now, if they went all light blue and black with something based on this, they might have a decent identity. But rainbow = vomit and black/orange = Giants/Orioles. Nobody cares about your humungous-big signature. PotD: 29/1/12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aawagner011 Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 After seeing the look, I like the hat by itself, but do not think it looks good matched with black jerseys. I prefer the black hat, orange jersey alt combo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
