MLB 12 The Show Video - Marlins Park

[brettryantalley]

not sure i've ever seen a stadium with so much 'flare' but not much 'life'. don't mean that to be a shot on SCEA as much as on the stadium.

one thing i never quite understood is when teams choose the color of their outfield wall to be a color that clashes with their team color. If the a team color is turquoise...the walls shouldnt be green...right?

I think it is up at all times. I think it is suppose to "splash" water every time one of the marlins pop up from the base.

I guess you're right, I can't find any info saying that the thing is supposed to pop up like the apple in NY. I can't believe they built that thing out there to stand erect all the time, very disappointing Mr. Loria.

Don't worry about it that thing will be gone after 2 or 3 seasons and replaced with something different I bet.

Hopefully, as it stands right now, it has got to be a problem for hitters with that thing almost in the batters eye.

Looks so sick!

That thing in Center Field is disgusting. How about instead of trying to spend every cent on the budget without overages, you underspend and just build a plain fountain.... classier and less atrocious.

They'll play it the same way they played Dolphins Stadium, since it's the same layout. Although I can see the ball carrying better there so it may play more of a factor.

As for the stadium: I think it's alright from the foul pole, around the infield to the other foul pole. The outfield looks really bland, besides that...thing(?).
