	I don't know how accurate, or up to date this is, but here is a sketch of what the new Marlins ballpark may look like. You can scroll down to see a few pictures. http://www.ballparks.com/baseball/national/miabpk.htm

	That is an accurate piece of information. Those current pictures are basically how the Marlins new ballpark is set to look, at least from the outside. Recently, in the road trip to Nationals Park, the Marlins took a look at the inside of their ballpark as well as deminsions to see how it will be similar to that of our own stadium. H.O.K who made the Natioanls ballpark as well as many of the newest ballparks that exist, will also be making the Fish new stadium. I think these guys are based in the D.C. area.

	It looks pretty slick if you ask me. I couldn't find anything about the size of the field, so I don't know yet if it will be like our current length to CF wall, or will it be a home run friendly park like the Reds? I guess it's a little early to be asking those kinds of questions. It looks good though.

	Yeah, a couple of weeks ago during a E-Mail Tuesday game, Marlins fans e-mailed questions with regards to dimensions of the field and whether it would be hitter-friendly or pitcher-friendly, and David Samson did not disclose any specifics on that... But I the team will see what its strength is down the road and then decide how they want their ballpark to look.

	I personally prefer more of a pitcher friendly park. The way I see it is, why would you want your players to be used to hitting in a smaller park? To me it would be better to have your players get used to hitting in a bigger stadium, like we have now, and then when they go to a hitter firendly park on the road, they can basically just make a home run derby out of it since they're used to having to hit it farther.

	Doesn't look accurate at all to me, the site of the Orange Bowl is a dump. Goto the toilet take a dump and then look into the toilet. That is what the new site of the Marlins stadium looks like.

	That sketch isn't accurate. That is an old one when they we're trying to push the new ballpark to be linked to the Orange Bowl. Now they are going to demolish the Orange Bowl and start from scratch on the site.
