| Florida Marlins Pro Player
Stadium Pro Player Stadium was the first of its kind to be constructed entirely with private funds. Since 1987 Pro Play Stadium has been the home to the Miami Dolphins and since 1993 the Florida Marlins. Because of the need to fit a football field in the stadium, the field of play is larger than in most other new baseball stadiums. An unique feature that this stadium has is a $1 million draining system was installed in 1996. It enables a firm playing surface within 30 Minutes of a 3" per hour rain. Some people feel that the stadium is insufficient to host a major league baseball team on a regular basis, because too many seats are far from the field and angled for football rather than baseball, and that a retractable dome is needed to prevent rain-outs. The Stadium has parking for 14,970 cars and 254 buses plus a helipad. |
