Meh. If it's the lower bowl I wouldn't care too much if I were a Marlins fan. Just buy upper deck seats and migrate downwards during the game.

I think MLB sort of makes sure all the teams are in line with overall ticket prices.

Make the team suck then raise prices. Sounds like a great business model to me.

Like the airlines model. Make seats smaller, take away meals, charge more. Except sitting in a plane waiting to take off might be more interesting than a Marlins game

Wow, the it being hyperlinked would really freak someone out if they were not familiar with what's being going on here for the past week or so. Would not want to click on that one.....(unless you're the @SlinkyRedfoot type)

I went to a game at their new stadium a couple years ago, my first time watching a game indoors.

I will tell you, it was weird as hell. Did not feel right at all.

and most people probably buy their tickets from Stub Hub or whatever for $5 or something

I was at the 1st game ever played there. It was mid-march, so they opened the roof and I thought it was quite nice.

I'm sure it's a totally different experience mid-summer.

I imagine it probably feels similar to seeing a game at the Trop in St Pete. Feels like you're sitting in an oversized gymnasium, watching a sport that's not supposed to be played in a gymnasium.
