Heading to a Marlins game tonight - anything I should know?
-
I figure at least one of you has been to the Miami stadium. I've never been. They're playing the Red Sox tonight (tickets were a Christmas gift to my son - we're from New England originally).
Anything special to look for? I'll be in the stands wearing my Pirates jersey with a huge yellow "P" on the front if you're looking for me. We'll be in section 6 (right field line).

Plenty of leg room

I like Marlins Stadium. When I last went a few years ago, you could walk in a circle around the entire stadium and watch the action on the field. There was also a really cool bobblehead display somewhere in stadium that is largest collection I have ever seen. Jokes aside about the small crowds, I suspect the Sox fans will be there in force. I recommend securing parking in advance as it can be a bit of a mess to figure that out on the fly. I think you will enjoy it.

To be honest I haven't been to a Marlins game since they were still playing in the old stadium when it was named Pro Player Stadium and I didn't have any complaints then

@MarioMendoza935_XBL Pray that [censored] Leo Jimenez doesn't play.

I would park in the actual stadium parking garage if I were you. The Miami way is to park in someone's backyard for less money, but I personally wouldn't do that if I were from out of town lol. I wouldn't do that in if I were in someone else's city either lol. Little Havana isn't the greatest neighborhood. (not the worst, but depending on where you are from, the crime stats might make you [censored] your pants).
I personally love the stadium. There's really no bad seat compared to Pro Player/Dolphins stadium where some seats, you couldn't see as well. The traffic to get out of there might suck. I'm not sure there's anything you can do about it. Once again, pray that Leo Jimenez doesn't play, he's worse than most of us on this forum.

When I visited, the Bobbles were behind home plate, but I think it’s been moved to CF. (In which case they better have a Biggio).
Somewhere in the main concourse, there were a couple of columns that featured displays about the Orange Bowl, which previously stood on the site.
