Pro Player Stadium

In 2006, owner H. Wayne Huizenga announced a $300 million dollar renovation project which was to take place in three stages.  Plans for the stadium include the addition of a club level and luxury suites, new LED scoreboards, and a dome or retractable roof.  In addition, one of the largest HD video displays will be installed by Daktronics measuring an incredible over 50 feet in diagonal.  In order to move along with phase two of the renovations, the Florida Marlins will be forced to leave Dolphin Stadium when their lease expires in 2010 and move to a brand new stadium, although H. Wayne Huizenga has agreed to let the Marlins stay on a year-to-year basis if arrangements for a new stadium don't go as speedily as the Marlins would like.  Ticket sales are high as the team waves farewell to Dolphin after these next few seasons, and onto futures elsewhere.

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, are reasonably priced tickets, and seats in the "fish tank", located behind the right center field fences, cost you hardly anything for a ticket and even less for children ages 2-12.
