Washington Nationals: Tips for visiting Marlins Park
By Tom Sileo
Now you’re inside Marlins Park
One of the largest stadiums in all of baseball, there are plenty of things to do when you get inside. So what do you need to bear in mind if you’ve got time to kill before first pitch?
No raincoats, but sunscreen just in case
Marlins Park has a retractable roof that’s almost always closed this time of year. With day games on Saturday and Sunday, however, it might be worth bringing a small bottle of sunscreen just in case new Marlins owner Derek Jeter sees an opportunity to lower his air conditioning bill.
The bobblehead museum
While there was some talk of former Marlins owner Jeffrey Loria eliminating the park’s bobblehead museum, it appears to have survived. Set aside ten minutes to visit the unique attraction, which is near Section 15 on the promenade level.
Kids run the bases on Sundays
Bringing the little ones on Sunday? They can run the bases for free after the game and hopefully high-five the team’s mascot, Billy the Marlin. It’ll be a great occasion for the whole family, and your mini-Nats can pretend to be Trea Turner.
