Marlins Get Ready to Have a Debatable Home Run Celebration at New Park

[Namaste]

It looks like something out of Its A Small World.

Yeah it does
--------------------
Anyway, the stadium is going to fucking awesome. No doubt that Marlin thing is goofy as hell but the stadium will kick ass. You are all LOL'ing now but you won't be LOL'ing later.

[Party]

Samson gon like it.

That shit looks like a cheap circus attraction. I'd rather shoot myself in the head than see that come up after a HR.

[CrimsonCane]

I just wish it was something more modern-looking. And, before seeing the actual video, I had hopes that they'd find a way to make something cool and abstract. My hopes were set low once I saw the artist's earlier works and they've been completely dashed after seeing the video. That animatronic Marlin thing looks cartoonish and it clashes with the aesthetic of the stadium. Retro doesn't work in a place like Miami, so I think they should have embraced the spaceship motif they had with the stadium's design and built off of something with that. (Thinking like laser light show. It'd be undoubtedly campy, but it would at least make overall sense with the rest of the building)

[Party]

I can't wait until Samson uses the sculpture's maintenance cost as an excuse for not signing a reliever.

We addressed that one already, Festa.

Ok, the Orange Bowl thing is kind of cool.

But, oh my. That video is terrible. Like, root against the Marlins ever hitting a home run terrible.

The Marlins' one is the only one that isn't cool (and never will be).

I like this. Maybe we can pay Will Arnett to dance to "The Final Countdown" along with the lasers. That would be totally money.

Look on the bright side, the park will play like the Grand Canyon, so it will only light up once or twice a homestand.

[Goodfella]

We've made a huge mistake.

You guys are nutz...who the fck cares?...it's Loria's house let him do whatever the hell he wants. Just increase payroll, field a competitive squad and noone will give a rats' ass about the rest.

[MiamiHomer]

I fucking care because when Mike Stanton hits 5 Hr's in a game that shit will annoy the fuck out of me every time.

[AdamRavs]

LOL the jumping Marlin makes you feel like they should a local casino sponsor it.. It screams jackpot of a slot machine!

[Beef]

Some of you ended up saying you loved that TeePain Miami Dolphins song, so no reason you can't love any/every piece of shit
