Stadium Question

FinsPensFanForum VeteranOPI thought last year was the last year that we would have the dirt infield from the Marlins at our stadium. Did something change or am I just crazy?
All work and no play makes Mike a dull boy...
Roman529New MemberWell as long as the Marlins are sharing Dolphin's stadium, the Phins will have some games in September in which they have to play on the dirt infield, unless Miami starts off with four straight road games to open the season. It also takes a while for the sod to take hold.....I would just make the Marlins play on an all-grass infield with no dirt. :lol:
Alex44New MemberIn 2011 we (Marlins) should have our own stadium.
Either way though the opponent plays on the same field, so it doesn't bother me.
On the draft Quentin Rollins bandwagon.

Who is using it as an excuse? It blows no matter what. It blows for both teams. There is no excuse being made here??

schmoliootSupporterIt's actually ridiculous that we haven't switched to FieldTurf. Espescially now with UM playing at Dolphins stadium. You're talking about baseball during the week and then potentially 2 football games. The field will be torn to shreds. Did you like watching the Pittsburgh game last yer? that field is coming to Miami.

Yea he did not look bad at all. He nailed his first fg from 40 yard away
Section126Luxury BoxYou are actually correct.
The word was that the U of M was going to cover the infield for their games and they would repeat that process for the Fins games.
No word as to the status of that "promise".

schmoliootSupporterThe general condition of the field is going to be terrible in the early going, particularly with our late summer weather.
I think there are 2 03 weekends with UM/Fins games at the stadium which will be brutal. Part of Waynes 300 million should have gone to field turf.
DisgustipateSupporterA ****ty field might be advantageous to this team. If poor conditions result in a lower scoring, time of possession style game, that plays to the teams strength. Look at the Giants and Steelers games, and how relatively close they were.

Maybe, but it makes for crappy football and is dangerous for the players. I'd rather give up some minimal advantage.
Cuban Dave 9New MemberI blame the Dolphins for the Marlins losing last night :tongue2:
Thank you Gish!

Not you or anyone here so far, but in the past a LOT of fans have somehow tried to blame our struggles on the dirt.

I dunno, I can't ever remember seeing anyone get hurt specifically because of the dirt infield.

You must of forgotten all the injuries and missed kicks when it counted (dirt infield)

Def haven't forgotten. All the more reason to believe Carpenter is pretty solid.
BTW, the only time I ever heard that dirt infield used as an escuse is when a PHINS kicker missed one off it. No one ever made an excuse for the opponent nor do I recall them missing many against us on it...

NOT this fan. I just want the Dolphins to play in "their own" stadium.
Then there would'nt be any dirt.:wink2:
