Watching the aerial views of Kauffamn Field and Arrowhead Stadium last night during the HR Derby, I was once again reminded of what could have been. Don't get me wrong, I love the new Marlins ballpark and its views of the city, I just wish that for conveinance sake, we could have built the two next to one another. Unfortunately egos got in the way, but I think in the long run, having the Dolphins and Marlins share adjoining properties and the proximity to the Turnpike would have made the commute for those of us up north and on the west coast great! Oh well... Time will tell.

Ok Jupiter fan I understand your frustation with the stadium location.....But at the end of the day the city of Miami and dade county were the only ones that made the deal.....I am a Tampa rays fan also because they are a great team and they are in Florida I try to go to their games 3 times a year in summer....Is a long drive from Miami but as a fan ill take it and deal with it....The complain about the stadium not being close to broward and palm beach is getting old.....Is the same way people complainign about the parking at the Marlins Park .....Me never had any problem I buy my prepaid parking early and get early to the stadium.....The most I have been caught in traffic leaving the stadium was about 15 minutes and thats not bad .......A lot of people complaining about the location of the stadium but everybody forgot that in the same exact location there was another stadium before Marlins Park....No one complaing about the location when the hurricanes use to play there......The park is really close to the Miami International Airport and I work at the airport and I have seen passenger travel and get a taxi to go the stadium and a lot of passenger prefer the new location cause is only a $20.00 dollars fare than $40.00 to sunlife......Also the stadium is very close to the 836 expressway.......

I can't believe people are still going on about the location of the stadium. It's time to get over this and move on... We should be grateful that we have a stadium at all and a beautiful one to top. The people that are not going to the new stadium are the same ones that did not go to Joe Robbie or whatever the name is ... after all, that stadium had the absolute worst attendance in the country. I too have 1/2 a season and my parking passes and love the whole experience and by the way I live in Broward.
I think we have much bigger issues with Bell, Hanley and now Stanton's injury.
Let's hope things change in the 2nd half of the season and that we get a chance to go to the playoffs.
Ultimately, it's the game that matter and it's great to have baseball in Miami and in South Florida.
Let's stop complaining!!

As I stated, I love the new place! Not complaining! Jeez.

PLAYOFFS????

PLAYOFFS?????

DID YOU SAY PLAYOFFS???????????????????

Yes, PLAYOFFS... I think that it's too early to throw in the towel. You've got to dream otherwise it's a very long summer.

OK, OK, I hear you Jupiterfan.
