I was a Marlins season ticket holder from 1993 - 2002 (when we moved out of Florida). I was there when Charlie Hough threw the first pitch, and when Edgar Martinez stroked that bloop single against the Indians in the eleventh.

And I'm quite sure that they'll never draw that many fans to the new stadium. Close to half the crowd I usually sat with (section 452, upstairs behind the plate right on the railing, best seats in the house) was from central and western Broward. They are not going to spend 50-70 minutes each way going to the ball park 4-5 nights a week.

It would have made far more sense to build the stadium out on I-75 where it would have been easy to get to from anywhere.
