One
of the coolest things about being an environmental journalist is the occasional
opportunity to combine my professional interests with my personal hobbies, like when
I was part of a group of journalists who received a behind-the-scenes tour of
the new Miami Marlins ballpark when it was still under construction in October.
The differences are striking when you consider it opened for baseball less than
six months later.
The
field was basically a mound of dirt back in October…
…but
it looks fantastic now.
It
must have taken a lot of work on the area surrounding the stadium…
…to
get it to look like this.
The
foundation for the Marlins home run sculpture was the only part standing when I
initially visited…
…but
the sculpture itself is quite lovely, even if there is a bit too much color for
my taste.
The new
Marlins Park is built on the site of the old Orange Bowl…
…as
officials like to remind us.
