Back when I was living in south Florida, the Marlins were struggling to build a new ballpark, or talk somebody into building one for them. They eventually ended up striking a deal to build a typical modern stadium with an ugly retractable roof on the unspectacular site of the Orange Bowl. But one of the earlier proposals involved building at the little-used Bicentennial Park. The waterfront location would have been the perfect way to showcase Miami… when you saw a game on TV, you’d know where it was being played.
