In Little Havana is the home of the Miami Marlins, the city’s Major League Baseball team. The team is a new and fresh one, having won two World Series Championships as wild card entries, and their stadium is spanking new as well.

Not wanting to look backwards, he wanted a contemporary and new design for his stadium, one that represented Miami as a city in its outlook of the future.
You don’t need to be a baseball fan to visit Marlins Park: being in Miami is enough reason to check out a stadium that represents the vibe of the city itself. In fact, the stadium is so “Miami” that its design and embellishments wouldn’t fit anywhere else. Where else would you put pastel palm tree tiles? The landscaping represents Miami as well, there is even sand in some places (just not on the field, of course!) and no expenses were spared.
