Marlins Park is the current home of the Miami (formerly Florida) Marlins. It is located on the site of the Miami Orange Bowl (1937-2008), which was home to the Miami Dolphins until 1987, and the home to the Miami Hurricanes until 2007.
The first regular season game here was on April 4, 2012, where the Miami Marlins took on the St. Louis Cardinals. The Marlins lost that game 4-1, with the Cardinals' Kyle Lohse getting the win, and Josh Johnson getting the loss.
Marlins Park was constructed from July 2009 to March 2012 at a cost of $515,000,000. Designed by Populous, it is a contemporary retro-modern ballpark that combines baseball with art and the essence of Miami with its emblematic features. Beyond the left field fence is a nightclub and swimming pool, and an aquarium is in the walls of the home plate backstop. The park also has a retractable roof, and beyond the fences are retractable glass panels. Its exterior facade is made of stucco, silver metal, and glass. It has an all-seater capacity of 36,742 with 50 luxury boxes in three tiers. Marlins Park is LEED Gold Certified. The park also hosts soccer matches during the winter.
The Marlins' portion of the cost comes to $160 million. The stadium will end up costing the City of Miami and Dade County a total of $2.6 billion through 2049. Revelations regarding the stadium financing resulted in an SEC investigation, and both the Miami mayor and the Dade County Executive were un-elected from office.
