Pro Player Stadium
Pro Player Stadium is one of the few baseball
parks in the majors that also plays host to a football team.
The field opened in 1987 for the Miami Dolphins, and in 1993,
the Florida Marlins began playing there as well. The left field
scoreboard rises to a 33 foot level, part of the reason it’s been nicknamed
the “teal monster”, a play on the green monster in
Boston’s Fenway Park. The rest of the fencing falls to
an 8 foot level everywhere besides left field. The outfield fencing
was also designed to include little nooks that make the ball
bounce in awkward directions.
If you’ve never played Pro
Player Stadium as an outfielder, the first experience isn’t
always a pleasant one. The second deck outfield seats are only
used for football season, and during baseball season, they’re
covered with a canvas. Pro Player Stadium is also equipped with
one of the largest parking areas of any stadium, facilitating
almost 15,000 cars and more than 250 buses if needed. Infield
seats, located from dugout to dugout, only cost $28 a ticket
and seats in the “fish tank”, located behind the
right center field fences, cost a mere $6 a ticket
and $3 for children ages 2-12.
