Florida Marlins New Stadium To Have New York Mets-Like Porch

SS

Some details about the new Miami stadium:

 

The porch in right field will not exactly be like the one at Citi Field, which is similar to the porch at old Tiger Stadium in Detroit. In New York, the porch actually extends over the field of play. That won't be the case at the Marlins' new home on the Orange Bowl grounds in the Little Havana section of Miami. It will be set back into the stands, but the concept is basically the same as New York.

 

"There is going to be in right field, not exactly like Citi Field, a home run porch," Samson said. "There are going to be some great seats, home run seats, if you will, in right field.

 

I highly suggest someone from the Marlins come to the Citi Promenade and take notes on what NOT to do.  Oh wait, I'm too late:

 

The one drawback to sitting in the porch is those fans won't have a clear view of the main scoreboard, which will be to the right-field side of center field. But they can keep up with the statistics on an auxiliary scoreboard that will be located near the left-field foul pole.

Still don't understand how the Mets let obstructed seats into their new Stadium. It makes no sense.

i think they were just careless. or it was intentional to get people to walk around and buy tickets with access to the expensive restaurants.
