It was tough to get my behind-the-plate shot here, since it IS a football stadium, too, so just to the left of home plate was the best I could get. When we walked to our seats, you are engulfed by the orange and turquoise seats all around the stadium, which I must admit looked pretty cool. It was really nice, had an ice bar, and some pretty good looking concession stands. Chase and I were both wondering if we looked like somebody famous, but apparently you get in with a field box ticket. We had to pay $0.75 to get in and out of the parking lot, which I think is an interesting financing idea instead of raising local taxes.īallpark: We walked in and were directed up to the suite level, which was air conditioned. One thing I haven't seen yet is a tollbooth right next to an MLB stadium. I don't think you can take public transit to get there, but there is plenty of parking for $10 right next to the stadium. The stadium is really the only thing around, so the neighborhood was pretty non-existent. Location: I don't think Sun Life is located directly in Miami, but it was a short drive from Chase's apartment in Fort Lauderdale. Tark's, where I had buffalo-garlic shrimp and blackened grouper smothered in garlic. When he didn't, he thought it might be a better idea to start shouting it at him in Spanish, which I thought was hilarious.Įven though it doubles as a football stadium, Sun Life Stadium blew the Coliseum out of the water. This drunk guy kept shouting to an older man who had gotten a ball from Gaby Sanchez to "give it to the kiiiiiid" sitting behind him.

I definitely got some of the best pictures of players yet, and we had a great time with the crowd around us. While there, we ran into one of Chase's co-workers who gave us great tickets to tonight's game. A big thank you to my pledge brother, Chase Leshin, who picked me up from the airport early this morning (and is dropping me off again early tomorrow), took me to get some of the best fish I have ever had, and gave me a behind the scenes tour of the Miami Dolphins training facility, A.K.A Chase's office. So after my trip to Atlanta, I made a quick trip today to Miami to catch the Marlins play the Mets at Sun Life Stadium, which doubles as the Miami Dolphins home during football season.
