It s hard to believe that Marlins Park already will see its 10th season of action in 2021. There have been thrilling walk-off wins and global spectacles over the past decade.
Below are the top moments so far in Marlins Park history:
1. A new day has come
April 4, 2012
During the first 19 seasons of their existence, the Marlins played at a multipurpose stadium, home to the NFL s Miami Dolphins, on the Miami-Dade and Broward County border. Wax nostalgic about the bright orange seats, Bermuda Triangle in center field and the extreme humidity during Sunday afternoon games.
The Marlins finally had a place of their own at the former site of the Orange Bowl in Miami s Little Havana neighborhood. The LEED-certified venue boasted a retractable roof, aquariums on each side of home plate, a polarizing home run sculpture, a bobblehead museum and Downtown Miami skyline views beyond the outfield glass panels.

Venue: Miller Park (now American Family Field)
There was an active storm season in 2017, when a three-game weekend series between the Marlins and Brewers was forced to relocate to Milwaukee because of Hurricane Irma. (The roof of Marlins Park incurred minor damage that was fixed over the offseason.)
Attendance was capped due to staffing issues, with only the lower seating bowl open for the series opener (a capacity of about 10,000). Capacity increased to approximately 23,000 for the next two games. Marlins Park stood ready to host the games, but we all agreed that burdening public service resources was not the proper course of action, then-Marlins president David Samson said in a statement. Following Hurricane Irma, the Miami Marlins realize that all of our employees, as well as our entire community, have other needs that must take a priority at this time.

Left-hander Adam Conley is headed overseas in 2021 to continue his playing career, according to Craig Mish, agreeing to terms with the Rakuten Golden Eagles of Nippon Professional Baseball (NPB). It’s presumably a one-year deal.
Conley had spent all 10 of his previous professional seasons in the Marlins organization. They drafted him out of Washington State University in the second round of the 2011 amateur draft. He debuted in the majors four years later. The lean southpaw was selected to Miami’s 2020 Opening Day roster, but didn’t get a chance to appear in any regular season games before testing positive for COVID-19. He was designated for assignment prior to the Aug. 31 trade deadline, went unclaimed and accepted an outright assignment to the minors (removing him from the club’s player pool). He elected free agency following the end of the regular season.
