What a great stadium we have for our beloved baseball team in South Florida, which by the way, won 3-0 last night against my childhood faves; the Cincinnati Reds (woohoo to the 1975 World Series Champs managed by Sparky Anderson: Johnny Bench, Pete Rose, Tony Perez, Joe Morgan, Gary Nolan, Ken Griffey, Dave Concepcion, Cesar Geronimo, and others). Got a little nostalgic there!
The covered parking is $15 through the PayByPhone app for the entire duration of the game till midnight. Don't rely on the number on the wall for your space though, take a photo of the alphanumeric in your section or else....
As far as the ballpark itself, it is a beautifully designed indoor stadium with a retractable roof that no one down here ever wants retracted, with state-of-the-art EVERYTHING, EVERYWHERE! Even the Women's Restrooms have islands to wash your hands on either side of the facilities, with both high-speed airblade hand dryers and boxed disposable hand towels (ooh lala).
Concessions are impressive with not just a wide variety of food, drinks, and ice cream; but they run it like a speed train.
What about the seats? Yeah, the seats could be cushioned and reclinable but most of us are content simply with their convenient cup holders because after all, who stays in their seat with so much action on the field!
When it comes to Security, my advice for the ladies is to carry your cellphone in your back pocket, your car key fob in your front one, and your bank card in the other (this is a cashless venue). Otherwise, you'll have to take a clear, see-through bag and stand in line to clear Security--which seems to be on high alert with good reason on a global scale these days. If you take the little ones, a clear bag (16x16x8 or smaller) is pretty much your only option--but a freezer bag will do the trick too! Just don't stop at the dollar store for boxed candy on the way (if you know what I mean?)!!
The crew, both throughout the perimeter and indoors can be engaging. If you're polite and respectful, they are super helpful and ready to jump and assist at the first glance their way--even to snap a photo or two!
Look, there's a lot more to be said but suffice to say that whenever we come, we feel safe, well fed, hydrated (lol), entertained, and all the more, happy and proud to walk away knowing that we are part of an all-around winning #Team!!
